Description:
In a comeback appearance that led to her short-lived weekly TV show, Judy Garland did a TV special in 1963 that's now available on video. Garland's performances are forceful and confident, but, unfortunately, she gets little time to sing by herself; that would come later on her TV show. Instead, she shares most of the time with her two costars: Robert Goulet (a recently minted star, thanks to Broadway's Camelot) and Phil Silvers (still basking in the popularity of TV's Sgt. Bilko). This is an intriguing show, if only because it reveals how much more patient TV audiences were in the '60s. Songs go on at a leisurely pace; at one point, Garland and Goulet sing a love medley that includes five complete songs. There's also a bizarre sequence in which the trio changes costumes after every song; at one point they warble "If I Had a Hammer" while dressed as beatniks. Garland seems less distracted than on her subsequent TV show, perhaps because she's sharing the stage with a couple of attention hogs. --Marshall Fine
