The Colgate Comedy Hour: Anything Goes (1954)
Season 4, Episode 22
I love Ethel but OH MAN this is hard to watch!
18 July 2015
She won't even look Sinatra IN THE EYE! He's supposed to LOVE HER? She's like 20 years older than him, a cold fish, and stiff as a board. Doesn't work. Her hair and costumes are modern (1950s) but the rest of the costumes are 1920s. YUCK! She is so fragmented that nothing really works unless she's just singing. Too bad!!!They should have just done an "Ethel & Frank sing Anything Goes". It would have been twice the quality and NONE of the weird... Also the description is wrong... BUT WATCH THE COMMERICALS!!!! THEY ARE THE BEST PART!!!!Except when the singers sing and Bert Lahr is on. I would ONLY recommend this to a die-hard fan of nostalgia, Porter, Merman, Sinatra, or campy TV that is painful to watch and I LOVE ALL OF THE ABOVE!!! But it takes it to get through this...sadly.
