I've spent my life in the theatre...and used to sing this song.alot...esp for auditions.....Pat was sure cute but NANCY KWAN was gorgeous in the movie role.with the gorgeous JAMES SHIGATA.....a fun musical

Thank goodness for the film and Myoshi Umeki! This was awful. Henry Koster and Hermés Pan thank you.

🎹 Believe it or not, Pat Suzuki is still alive at age 93.

As a front desk agent, this was both painful to watch yet so relieving that I'm not the only one experiencing this 🤣

Directed by Gene Kelly.

THIS IS SOOO ACCURATE 😂

What an incredible cast - how lucky we are to have these stunning performances recorded!

I saw a production in London several years ago, put on only on Sundays because the performers were appearing at the time in other shows. The show was put on without special costumes, scenery or choreography, and with only piano accompaniment, and the actors read their parts from a printed book. This was the original text and the original versions of all the songs, in the original order, not switched around as in the movie. It was great. Nonetheless, I wish I had been old enough and fortunate enough to have seen the original version on Broadway.

Ahh, Ed Kenney had such a lovely (local boy) voice. I had forgotten that Pat Suzuki was on the album. Although Nancy Kwan was beautiful, but the cute and effervescent charm of Suzuki should have been enough for Hollywood. Broadway had it right when they selected Arabella Hong as Helen Chiao. But, Larry Blyden or Jack Soo (Suzuki)? I vote for the crusty Soo.

Rich people: I don't care if you're sold out, just oversell and give me a room. Really rich people: Can I just have two blankets and a corner of a meeting room?

Love it!!!😂

That is how being sold out works

Miyoshi Umeki created fadeless history,「ARIGATO!」from Japan with love.

Omg instant subscribe 😂

They ask such brilliant questions /s

🎹 Glorious. One of Rodgers & Hammerstein's best scores. Thanks for posting.

Dealt with this in the rental car industry. I lost all faith in the general public’s intelligence.

A wonderful memory. How I wish I were old enough to see the show on Broadway with this cast. I love the film version of my favorite musical.

Miyoshi Umeki an under used talent. It is said she tried to dispose of her Academy Award but a friend rescued it from the garbage. As for Juanita Hall she had an African-American father and an Irish-American mother. Hall played Bloody Mary in South Pacific and won a Tony Award for her efforts.

One wonderful. Musical. Dancing and music were marvelous

Loves those Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals delivered by such talented performers.

I watched bc of the comments and they were spot on ! I loved this movie ! !

Sullivan was amazing in seeking out talent. The guy had a gift.

Too bad they didn’t use Pat Suzuki for the voice of Nancy Kwan in the film……

Pat Suzuki had a heck of a voice

I recall playing the great tunes from this show, in the late 1950's into the early 1960's. It was at a time when drum and bugle corps matured into playing full musical show scores on advanced multi-valved instruments. Our arranger, a fellow named Lee Wolf, brought fhe Captain of Castille's, "Conquest ", "Camelot", and "Flower Drum Song", among others, to the field of compettion.

Damn pat, what a voice!

Too accurate💀

I had a former California district judge (I looked him up) threaten to shoot up the hotel--on a recorded line--because I told him that we were sold out for the night and so there was no way I could book him.

I grew up with this music, and so many more songs and musicals and performers that today's generation have been so terribly deprived of. My heart breaks for those 40 years and younger who may grow old and die without ever knowing or experiencing the beauty of music and songs and performances that we older ones all knew...

What a wonderful score. This is a treasure. All Broadway musicals/plays should be record whether they are archived for historical purposes or sold to the public. Angela Lansbury said the only Broadway production people will know her for is 'Sweeny Todd, because it is the only show on video. There are a few snippets of other productions she did but what if we had all of Mame or Gypsy?

Wow. They were promoting the movie.

❤ love love Pat Suzuki!

What a find Miyoshi Umeki was! What natural charm. And lovely voice.

Love Look Away is the most heartbreaking song R&H ever composed.

This is breaking my heart. My mom used to play this record.

Why didn't pat Suzuki get the part of linda lo ?

This video is a treasure. Thank you.

Who did this terrible choreography?

all rights to The Ed Sullivan Show go to Andrew Solt and SOFA Entertainment

Wow. Who says that Juanita Hall and Ed Kenney are NOT Chinese?? THEY ARE . . . .NOT! LOL!!

These are indeed precious. They could have just gone into the air on stage. Ed Sullivan allowed them to survive.

I love this score. What a fabulous video. Thank you so much.

This is 100% accurate.

This was incredible, it's a shame they cut this off at the end too soon because they deserved a great standing ovation!!!!!

Juanita Hall, Pat Suzuki and Myoshi Umeki all on one stage. Does it get any better than that?

This is one of my favorite scores.I played the original cast album over and over and still do.I had no idea that this was recorded for posterity .what a thrill to see Pat Sazuki actually sing this legendary number! Thankyou so much for posting and thankyou Mr Sullivan!

Thanks for posting this! Wonderful voices preserved for future generations. Thanks again! Hope you're staying safe through the pandemic. All the best!

I guess I need to watch this movie again--or maybe the stage show was slightly different from the movie? I don't remember a white guy (Larry Blyden) involved with the Pat Suzuki character. I thought the Pat Suzuki character was involved with the Jack Soo character--maybe they changed it for the movie (from a white guy to a Chinese guy) to make it more "acceptable" to greater America at the time, no interracial relations (some places still had miscegenation laws).
