High-stepping Joel Grey led a line of go-go garter girls in a production number from Cabaret which, by TV standards, deserved the top Nielsen rating for naughtiness. Barbara Harris, star of The Apple Tree, sparkled as the scullery maid-turned-balloon-breasted vamp. Co-Hosts Mary Martin and Robert Preston harmonized about marital disharmony in a scene from I Do! I Do!; pint-sized Norman Wisdom sang the razzmatazz title song from Walking Happy.

Of course I don't begrudge her her pink legs, but it just isn't fitting...
...rejection, became brutal. I'd go see the scene twice more. John Mac-Fayden's (Claudio) scene in his cell with Miss Moss ticked along too. I didn't like David Hammond as Vincento. Some faults were the part's; some his. He behaved like a busybody old maid and the way he swept around the stage propelled by long thin whirring hands didn't help...
