The Merman and Martin sequences from television's first special.

Género : Música, Comedia

Tiempo de ejecución : 2H 0M

Director : Jerome Robbins

Sinopsis

The program was the first so-called "Television Spectacular". Ford presented the show without commercial interruption. It is believed to be the first time that Edward R. Murrow appeared on NBC in a professional capacity. Also, in 1953, it was necessary for Ford to buy time on two networks to ensure maximum coverage of US TV households - at the time, neither CBS nor NBC reached 100% of them. The famed 1953 television special celebrating the Ford Motor Company's 50th anniversary brought together two of the greatest leading ladies Broadway has ever known. The highlight of the program is Merman and Martin’s 13-minute duet medley, where they sing the songs that made them famous, plus much more. On their own, Merman sings “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” and “Mademoiselle from Armetières” and Martin performs a brilliantly comic routine about changes in fashion over the first half of the 20th century.

The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan
Conocido por la realización de éxitos como "El sexto sentido", "Señales" o "El protegido", el guionista, productor y director de cine de origen indio, M. Night Shyamalan, es el creador de un mundo etéreo de suspense, sólo comparable al suyo propio. "El secreto de M. Night Shyamalan" es un thriller al estilo de la película "El Proyecto de la bruja de Blair", que muestra a un personaje rodeado de secretos. El documental se inicia cuando el director, Nathaniel Khan, trata de entrevistarlo durante el rodaje de "El bosque". El equipo se traslada al lugar y, mientras espera, recoge con sus cámaras los misterios que lo rodean. En el documental tratan de hacer creer al espectador que Shyamalan posee poderes, curiosamente, los mismos que algunos de sus personajes; aderezado con entrevistas supuestamente no autorizadas a actores de la talla de Johnny Depp, o la supuesta foto fantasma en la que Shyamalan sale algo borroso.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2019 Induction Ceremony
The 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony took place on March 29 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Def Leppard, Stevie Nicks, Radiohead, Roxy Music, the Zombies and the Cure make up the Class of 2019. They were inducted by a star-studded group of peers including Brian May of Queen, Harry Styles, David Byrne, Simon Le Bon and John Taylor of Duran Duran, Susannah Hoffs of the Bangles and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. An artist is eligible for the hall of fame 25 years after their first commercial release. The nominating committee creates a shortlist, according to the Hall's official website, and then sends the ballot to "more than 1,000 historians, members of the music industry and artists — including every living Rock Hall inductee." The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has selected the top five vote-getters for induction in the past, but this year seven artists were inducted (Janet Jackson also made the final cut; she was inducted by Janelle Monae).
Night of 100 Stars
The most glittering, expensive, and exhausting videotaping session in television history took place Friday February 19, 1982 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The event, for which ticket-buyers payed up to $1,000 a seat (tax-deductible as a contribution to the Actors' Fund) was billed as "The Night of 100 Stars" but, actually, around 230 stars took part. And most of the audience of 5,800 had no idea in advance that they were paying to see a TV taping, complete with long waits for set and costume changes, tape rewinding, and the like. Executive producer Alexander Cohen estimated that the 5,800 Radio City Music Hall seats sold out at prices ranging from $25 to $1,000. The show itself cost about $4 million to produce and was expected to yield around $2 million for the new addition to the Actors Fund retirement home in Englewood, N. J. ABC is reputed to have paid more than $5 million for the television rights.
