  • This is the Peter Pan musical broadcast on TV in 1960 with Mary Martin and Cyril Richard. It is a delightful musical.
    Mary Martin got her first great role in a Cole Porter show dressed in almost nothing but a fur muff, singing My Heart Belongs to Daddy. She was also the original Nellie Forbush in South Pacific, and starred in many other Rogers and Hammerstein musicals..She was an actor, singer, and dancer. This musical was created in 1954 with Mary Martin to be the starring role.
    Cyril Richard, from Australia was a stage, film, radio, and TV actor. He even was on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera playing the comic lead. He is best known for his role in Peter Pan as the sneering Captain Hook.
    The available copies all had a problem which apparently was on the master tape. Some of the alternate scan lines would slip to the left in a few scenes. This was removed by frame editing. The original was deinterlaced carefully and noise reduced with frame editing to remove difficult spots.

    I'm 75, and remember watching this live on our 19 inch TV when I was 12, when Life was so simple, all my loved ones were alive, all my dreams were in front of me and unrealized. Thanks for the memories, and grateful to still be alive now.

    Happy 63rd Anniversary of the TV showing. I remember watching this on TV. The date was Dec. 08, 1960, which was also my parents' anniversary. I found a copy on DVD, and just by chance, watched it on the 50th anniversary of the TV debut. It was also B and W, just as we saw it. We didn't get our first color TV in the household until the early 1970's

    • @clementj1
      @clementj1  Před 6 měsíci +1

      There was no excuse for marketing a B&W copy because it was on high quality laserdisc in 1990. The original broadcast was actually 1954, but it wasn't recorded on tape until 1960. It is possible that the DVD was copied from the 1954 or 1956 B&W kinescopes. While both showings were in color, video tape had not been marketed yet. The old kinescopes smeared the frames because the film was recorded at 24fps instead of the TV 60fps on B&W film from a monitor. It is now possible with advanced software to restore the old kinescope recordings to near broadcast quality, but in B&W. The 70th anniversary of the original broadcast will be 2024 (2024-1954=70).

      Yes! It was only aired once per year in the early sixties. I was 4 years old when I saw this on TV for the first time. I was enamored. I wanted to be Peter Pan. I think I was confused because Peter was played by a woman, so I thought I could be Peter. My aunt made me my own Peter Pan costume and I wore it all the time until it no longer fit, like for 2 years. My parents bought the LP soundtrack to the movie, so when they played it, which was, much to their aggravation, I flew everywhere in the house, hopping from chair to chair to sofa to chair jumping around. I really thought I was flying. Lol. I knew every word to every song. I'll never forget that period of my childhood. Even my mom and my aunt still remember my facination/ obsession with Peter Pan! Captain hook really freaked me out, though. He was so creepy and scary to a 4 year old.

    Sooo I wanna start and say I have adhd meaning I don’t remember a lot especially when it comes to movies when I was a kid. I have no memory from before the age of 5 now that being said my bubbie ( grandma) showed me this movie for the first time when I was 4 or around there. As I grew older I forgot everything except the hand show that Mary Martin did in the darling kids room. I remembered that one scene my whole life not knowing what movie it’s from and looking for it for years. Finally I gave in and asked my bubbie if she had it. When she pulled out Peter Pan I instantly said “no that wasn’t it” in the end I decided to give it a watch and that watch changed everything.. I had found the movie I was looking for for years and I wasn’t disappointed I thought of the year it was released and realized it was incredible. This has been my favorite movie for years !! And every time I watch it I become a bigger fan of Mary Martin. I also wonder what she would think of what became of the movie if she would be pleased with the results. I know almost every single line in this movie and can’t help but talk along and sing along with it. I’ve watched it dozens of times and have a vhs tape that I used to watch it on before finding this video. Can you guess my age? Bet you can’t. Because the only people I talk to and know is about the movie are 30-40 at least !. When my old teacher gave us a assignment to make a presentation about a actor I instantly choose Mary Martin as I was eger to talk about her and the movie and because I knew a lot about her from the top of my head and had a good cool video if a interview. I got a A and was happy. For a few weeks I’ve been wanting to rewatch this movie for about the dozenth time. And finally able to. So did you guess my age ? I’m…….. 19 as of rn but almost 20 so I’m on the younger side of the generation but even to this movie changed my life. And I don’t care how old when I have kids or if they want to or not I’m gonna to show them this movie at least once and actually not show them the Disney one because this one is so much better.
    Rip Mary Martin I hope you’re looking down happy with how the movie ended up you did an amazing job. And in my heart and a lot of other people you will always be the one and only true Peter Pan !!😁😁😁

    My childhood right here as well!!! I still get chills watching this. I was watching this when I was 6 years old and my mother literally said,"Peter Pan is Larry Hagman's mother!" God Bless and R.I.P. to both Mary Martin and Larry Hagman!!

    I watched this all the time when I was a child. I even watched it in my mid twenties and still enjoyed it but something about being almost 40 I cried and cried at so many points. The opening credits, Peter singing about Neverland before they leave, Peter's lullaby, and when the children start to sing Tender Shepard when they return, and finally when Peter tells Wendy she is too old to go with him. The whole story of Peter Pan has taken on a new meaning as I get older. Such stellar performances from the cast. This and Hook will always be my favorite Peter Pan performances.

      It certainly has more emotion than the Disney version. One hopes that kids of this generation watch this version and can see the wonderful quality. Yes, some of it is dated with racial stereotypes such as the "indians", but it is in the style of children having fun. Cyril Richard was wonderful as the sneering Hook. He also played a similar comic role at the Met Opera in La Pericole, and his wonderful diction and comedy came over the radio broadcast very well.

As an adult watching the actors and hearing them use of their voices and their projection is marvelous not to mention how they use their bodies with big bold movements to tell the story.

    I love the memories this brings up. Watching it 30 years later made me a kid all over again. I always had a huge crush on Tiger Lily. Watching it years later, I notice little things. like how bad the younger lost boys are at their choreography. But I also notice the absolute love in Mary Martin's eyes when she performs with these children. I'd bet she was the best cast mom ever. Her performance is flawless. i've seen this with Sandy Duncan and Kathy Rigby and while they each brought something wonderful to the performance, no one can match the joy that Mary brought

    My mimi, grandma, had this recorded on VHS and I have so many memories of this film and it's so weird how I pictured this film in my head compared to watching it as an adult. I remember that each commercial break, because it was recorded from television, had a soup commercial and I've been trying to find the soup commercial for years. I just remember that they keep trying to share the soup or take soup from one person's bowl and put it in the other or something like that and I've been unable to find the commercial ever since.

    I'll never forget when I was a child. Grandma asked what movie we wanted her to buy for us for Christmas. We requested Peter Pan, because Disney's Peter Pan was one of my favorite movies.
    I couldn't believe WE were actually going OWN Peter Pan! I couldn't wait. Then she gave us this version of Peter Pan...
    My first major disappointment in life 😂

    How Wonderful it is to see Mary Martin as Peter Pan. I actually saw this broadcast and each year, looked forward to seeing it again. On one of the last times that NBC broadcast it @ 1973, it had a "curtain call" with Ms Martin coming forward in costume to thank the home audience for watching and always believe in the magic. It is now long gone BUT can be seen in the 1956 version in b/w, a kinescope that survived. But, I am happy to see it again...Thank you for posting and bringing out the child in all of us when we watch this classic again.

    This was originally telecast on NBC in 1955 and 1956., in black & white, of course. I saw the 1956 telecast when I was 6 years old. Couldn't wrap my head around a woman playing a boy...🤔
    Loved Cyril Ritchard in dual roles !
    This is a remarkably good videotape of the original 1954 Broadway production and cast. Moved to a TV studio, naturally.
    Errata: This IS the 1960 production, videotaped in color at NBC's Brooklyn studio, with some cast changes: the children of the original 1954-56 presentations outgrew their roles.
    The original NBC telecasts were filmed live and in color also, and broadcast in color on a limited basis . Very few households had color TV's then. We saw all 3 versions in black and white. Didn't get a color TV 'til 1966, when the 3 networks commenced full-time color broadcasting

      This restoration came from the laserdisc of the studio videotape from 1960, not from a consumer videotape. The laserdisc already had some restoration, and this copy has corrected defects where sets of interlaced lines were displaced in individual frames. Broadcasts from the studio restoration all had the displaced lines. Laserdiscs have full studio resolution, but with some additional video noise which is not very noticable except in a few scenes. The noise was also reduced in this restoration.

The 1989 rerun aired before Easter was coincidentally sponsored by Peter Pan Peanut Butter. Thanks to a 1989 rerun, Disney re-released their version of Peter Pan on 7/14/89.
