77. An absolutely stunning cast of Comedians from an era when they were popular

Tue Jul 9, 2013, 06:49 PM

Jul 2013

Virtually every big name from a time when Comedians were as big a part of popular entertainment as Actors, Musicians, and major sports figures. It is dated, to be sure, but still well worth watching. Buddy Hacket (sp?) alone is worth the price of admission. Milton Berle and "The Great One" himself! You really have to see it.
