Their 17-year-old son Egidio was present at the ceremony, performed by the Communist mayor of Genzano.

The program's interlocutor, Gene Kelly, did not dance, and his material did not sing. Most of the sting in the first two weeks came from sassy Teresa Graves (formerly of Laugh-In) and the blue-collar couple, Warren Berlinger and Pat Finley. The elderly Burt Mustin and Queenie Smith were wry and especially welcome, considering that old people have heretofore been virtually anathema to television...
