From a purely musical point of view, possibly the best-recorded performance of this song? Cartier is a proper operatic baritone with excellent diction. Masterson of course is stunning. Nice up-tempo feel as well.
I don't like this version because instead of singing to their audience they are singing to the camera. Look again and you will see what I mean. Not good acting. There are much better versions which I love. One is from 1957 with 2 great singers who can also act.

A marvelous rendition of the song !
Masterly Masterson indeed!
I never tire of this song. Jack Point's expressions of arrogance, when we all know what is to come.
I would call it joy, rather than arrogance. Jack Point was very happy here, alas.
What year?
I believe it is from 1972. Apologies if I am wrong.
@@TonyMcLean2002 that's Ok.

You can't see the audience in the lower left and lower right corners, right?
