Description
Episode Description
The Musical comedy team of Betty Comden and Adolph Green join Andre Previn for reminiscences about their days in Hollywood -- when the 'movie musical' was big -- and of their work on Broadway. Comden and Green, who wrote the lyrics and libretti for such classics as 'Bells are Ringing,' 'On the Town,' and 'Singin' in the Rain' talk about their work with Gene Kelly, Judy Holliday, Leonard Bernstein and Previn. Talk is interspersed with Comden and Green's own rendition of some of their most famous material, including 'New York, New York,' 'The Party's Over,' and 'Make Someone Happy.'"'Previn and the Pittsburgh' is intended for a general viewing audience."--1978 Peabody Awards entry form.
