Poor quality or not, this chunk of film is precious to me. I saw this program when it originally aired, and never forgot it. Mr. Astaire and Mr. Levant were my childhood idols (I was an odd child), and seeing them together, in such a casual situation, was thrilling. Thank you for posting it.

Oscar Levant. An incredibly talented and accomplished musician.

When there were television shows which aimed to raise the general tenor of culture.

The quality of this footage may be poor but its priceless nonetheless. Thank you.

Those good ol' days where you could even smoke in a show and no one minded that because it made the human who appeared on stage even more attractive!

@ 6:23, it goes color, or a millisecond! LOL!
When I was a kid, I used to wonder why I couldn't have had Oscar Levant for an uncle, instead of the relatives I had. I guess some people just aren't that lucky...
Oscar Levant may have been a little "off-sync" from the rest of humanity, but the rest of humanity isn't as brilliant, talented, funny, and sensitive as he was.
You had an unhappy childhood, a troubled adulthood - but your TV shows
always brought this unhappy child enjoyment.
Aleva-shalom, Oscar; your fans still love
you!

From an era when stars really were stars and had class. Modern pop-culture killed that, and it won't ever come back again.
