One Star Christmas Show

"I am being generous (the Xmas spirit) giving this DVD
even 1 star !!
This show is NOT a television "spectacular".
What this is, is a compilation of approx. 3 minute
"skits" from a vast variety of 1950's performers
(most of whom you WILL NOT KNOW).
This was spliced together for a 1958 USO tape that
was sent to 750 military bases around the world.
Visual quality is poor at best, and very little
Christmas theme throughout.
There are MUCH BETTER "Christmas DVDs" offered at
lower prices. Very disappointing."
Ah, those were the good old days.

"This is a special show, or rather series of shows, that was put together for our troops in the fifties. There are numerous great stars (at least 50) from the period of time when Hollywood still had its glitter and glamour. Danny Kaye, Bob Hope, Rhonda Fleming, Bing Crosby and many more make this a real delight."
