★★★★★ · Footage of Walt DIsney one year before his death · LeGrande · 2009-02-19

... along with some very stoned Beach Boys and a very funny Bob Hope and a very beautiful Elke Sommer.

★★★★ · Great · skilpad · 2009-07-19

A really great historical piece. Typical Bob Hope and Jack Benny humour - which, as usual, is very funny. However, the Beach Boys coame across as being very dull and almost not all there. They obviously didn't perform live and sang to a prerding? The Mary Poppins parady was reasonably funny. Very typical Jack Benny ending.

will only play in windows media player · ARossi · 2008-02-26

this plays sound only in VLC, and IA's deriver isn't able to make a flash movie from the original file (to show on the page). but it does work if you play it in windows media player.
