to sternumagnum: Yes, Wow. A. B. B. C. on the same set.
Cavett equals conversation. Wonderful.
-
Ironically, when Cavett first appeared late at night in late 1969, he replaced "The Joey Bishop Show" which had originated from ABC's 1313 North Vine Street studios in Hollywood - which used GE's prior 4-tube Plumbicon color camera PE-250 which, according to Ed Reitan's site on the history of color television, "never worked correctly" - and if surviving clips of the Bishop show are any indication, this was most certainly the case. The PE-350 seemed an improvement over the PE-250, picture-wise.

The cameras used on the Cavett show (which originated from the now-defunct ABC TV-15 studios at the Elysee Theatre on West 58th Street and 7th Avenue) were General Electric PE-350's, which were first put into service at that studio in 1968 or so, and used there right up to about 1979 (it was this camera that was used for much of the run of ABC's "$10,000/20,000 Pyramid," up to the last year when, I.I.N.M., they were replaced by RCA TK-47's).

God what a great episode of the finest talk show, the Dick Cavett Show! They should rerun them all on a nightly basis.

Altman, Brooks, Bogdanovich, Capra on the same set, at the same time. Wow.

This is great stuff, it's like vintage Parkinson.

@vikesh81 Cavett was a niche, esoteric talk show.
His show dispensed with pizazz and promotion,
and strove for an intelleigent long form dialogue.
Guests were more open to talking in depth about themselves.

Wow, Look at Robert Altman! There's no mention of him in the title or text, so finding him here in this company was a happy accident. Who nu?
Altman was only about 45 here, a relative latecomer in terms of directing features, altho he'd been toiling in the biz for 20 years at this point. Fun to see him and Capra together--their styles couldn't have been more disparate, yet they are clearly gentlemen cut from the same cloth...true individuals, both.
