THE DESERT SONG - RARE 1955 LIVE TV SPECIAL - NELSON EDDY
Product Description
Originally telecast live and in color on 5/7/55, The Desert Song was produced and directed by the fabled Max Liebman. Sadly, only the few folks with color television sets at the time have ever seen it in color. The kinescope, a system to preserve live broadcasts on film for re-airing, could only register in black and white.
