You Asked For It - 26 July (1951)

1951 · Television · 29 min

Synopsis

An episode of an eclectic U.S. television show. Segments include Senor Maldo performing a reverse escape trick, an old style band performs, two guys extracting venom from a rattle snake, a looking at various working miniatures, and a mock fight involving boxing and savate (though presented in the show as a recreation of a real life event, from what I can gather the story is an urban legend). Also included are the original commercials for Skippy peanut butter. The date is per a search of vintage Los Angeles newspapers, with the episode airing via kinescope at later dates in other cities.
