Early Years of Mr. Showmanship

""The Liberace Show" features about 15 selections from the early Liberace TV shows of the 50s. It's a somewhat different collection in that the majority are vocals, which Liberace phased out in his later performances. They are vintage Liberace, though--full of his special brand of corn mixed with music. There's also his guest appearance on the Jack Benny (TV)Show, where they perform together. Although he's in black & white, with only two rings, this is a worthy addition to any collection. Hopefully, it might inspire Warner Bros. to release "Sincerely Yours" on DVD, and also his "Live" appearance with the London Philharmonic & TV specials which are available on VHS (3 tape set)."

Did Not Think I would Like this One!

"I buy dvds for entertainment in a long term care facility via recommendation from the residents. I was pretty sure that the residents would like it - didn't think I would. However, after only a few minutes into it, I quickly changed my mind.



It was very, very entertaining and enjoyable to listen to. Granted it was old tv and film footage, it didn't take one long to get engrosed with the pure entertainment and talent that Liberace possessed and shared with his audience. This film showed his beautiful human qualities.



Whether you are a fan or not, this dvd is well worth viewing if you enjoy a good piano and entertinment.
