I've had a comment on here for years about this TV special which was very unfair. Especially considering I had never seen the program all the way through. After seeing only bits and pieces (mostly the overly theatrical bits) on a poor quality video, I called it "so bad it's good" and gave Lauren Bacall low marks for her performance. Well, after getting a copy for myself and seeing the whole thing, I loved it! Lauren Bacall's performance actually is wonderful and was well-deserving of the Tony award. Yes, it is a bit too theatrical at times, but considering these performers had played the roles on stage for some time, that is forgivable. Ms. Bacall's "Welcome to the Theater" number is positively chilling. Larry Hagman does a commendable job as a song-and-dance man as well. Overall, I am very pleased to finally have this in my collection. Now if only I could get a local theater to produce it on stage... Everyone says it's too dated, so I guess we'll just do another 400 year old Shakespeare play!!!
