Is there anyway to see the 1958 TV Movie of "Wonderful Town?"

I have recently bought the CD for the 58 TV Movie of Wonderful Town. I love this show, and I really want too see this movie - but there isn't a video released or anything.

Does anyone have any info where it could be seen? Because the original production was NOT filmed - and this is our only tie to see Roz Russell in one of the most critically acclaimed performances of ALL TIME. In the booklet of this CD they state that Roz Russell's reviews probally stand as the best set of personal notices anyone has ever received in a musical. Now that is really saying something! For a woman who wasn't known for her singing, she really knew how too sell a song in a musical!

So - I really need too see Russell's Ruth - does anyone know where this TV Movie of WT can be seen?

it was a TV show?

Check EBay. I bought a copy of it on there a while back.

Yep. The booklet of the CD says Roz did not want Edie in the film - it say's most likely because Edie was popular with TV - and Edie might steal the spotlight. That's how I understand.

My God - I hope I can get a copy on ebay!

Yes! There is a copy on Ebay!! Thanks for the idea Margo - for some odd reason I didn't think about looking on ebay.

Thanks, IJay889!!!!!! I was wondering the same thing! You're my hero on this board!!!!! I'll try Ebay and see if they have the solution. LOL! If anyone has seen it, what's your favorite part that Ms.Rosalind Russell did? I'm SUCH a fan of hers! Again IJay889, thanx SOOOO much! $$$***Natalie_Jemima***$$$

For those of you in and around NYC, this version can be screened anytime at the Museum of TV & Radio.

I love Wonderful Town. I think the score is Bernstein's best! (And I'm a huge Gypsy fan!) JK, Styne wrote Gypsy.
