I was just in my mid-twenties when this appeared on CBS, and all these years later -- 47 years -- I was delighted to see this come out on Blu Ray. Of all the tv-movies I ever watched, this was my favorite. Clearly Maureen Stapleton and Charles Durning had been in other films and television programs before this, but it was in this that I found them both memorable (although her performance in 1970s "Airport" was wonderful). There was just something special and sentimental about their performances here. I have to admit not being very excited by their singing here, but their acting more than made up for that. And the one song -- "I Love To Dance Like They Used To Dance" -- is a great song, and especially nicely done on a recording by Bing Crosby (but that's another story).
Charming. Just charming.
