| According to Brandon De WIlde's biographer (Patricia McLean) six days before his 8th birthday, Brandon (on a two performance matinee day) "spent a few hours at CBS Studios for a live broadcast of scenes from the play to coincide with the upcoming NY Drama Critics Circle Award." They (De WIlde, Harris, and Waters) also performed scenes from the play on THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW. The Sullivan Show footage is apparently available for viewing at the Paley Center, which I will definitely be looking up the next time I am in the city. I am wondering if these are one and the same? But I would think that the author would mention the Sullivan show if that is what it was for. Also, the author specifically refers to the day as a Saturday (thus the two shows) and I thought Sullivan's show was on Sunday nights. Still, being able to see those three performing scenes from the play on live TV would be something I would think any "Theater Person" would do just about anything to see. Anyone know anything about this? Is there anyone out there who remembers seeing the original production? It was 70 years ago, so I am thinking most of the people who saw the original production are no longer with us, but there is a chance.... |
