The Wonders Perform "That Thing You Do" live on the Hollywood Television Showcase!!

From the 1996 Tom Hanks movie "That Thing You Do," here is the title song as performed by "The Wonders" on the "Hollywood Television Showcase." The Wonders play this song numerous times throughout the film, but IMHO, this is the best performance of that song, totally flawless. Look for Liv Tyler as Jimmy's (the lead guitarist) girlfriend, wearing a red dress, and the director is played by Marc McClure, who appeared in Hank's "Apollo 13" and also played Jimmy Olson in the 1979 movie "Superman."

just curious about something... Were they just played in the movie or were they really a group?

[videoholic90sA]

@aRaLnOzA They were not a real group, they just performed in the movie.

This was supposed to take place in 1964, yet what looks like Norelco PC-72 cameras (that came out around 1970) are used in this segment - as is a post-1967 production PC-70 in one shot. At the time of this story, the only color cameras around were RCA TK-40/41 cameras (with later-variant TK-41C's marking the end of the line), with TK-42's about to be introduced.

@wmbrown6 Yes, you're absolutely right; there are some technical boo-boos in this movie. Besides the one you mentioned, apparently the TV switcher is a 1968 or 69 model (Grass Valley, I think), which obviously was not available in 1964!

Yes, that's Studio 33 (aka The Bob Barker Studio) at CBS Television City they shot this in!

[videoholic90sA]

@johnnyafairbanksak Yes, that's exactly right!!

Who cares about that technical stuff? The movie is great and it was fun to see it. I enjoyed it!

[HumaneAnon]

Arguing about the technical equipment being from the future given the date of the movie is silly and I declare, full-retard. That's like watching a movie with cavemen and getting pissed that the leather isn't from the extinct auroch or something lol

Everybody just relax and enjoy the movie.
