Television

1978 "An American In Pasadena," Ambassador Auditorium, Pasadena, California
Guest: Frank Sinatra
Taped February 15, 1978
This was a Gene Kelly special
Broadcast on CBS , Wednesday evening, 2-15-78.
Kelly's guests were Cyd Charisse, Liza Minnelli,
Kathryn Grayson, Janet Leigh, Lucille Ball, Esther
Williams and Frank Sinatra. Gene's leading ladies
and the guy with the sailor suit.
Gene and Frank did a comedy bit and sang a parody of "I
Could Write A Book." Liza subbed for her mother
and Cyd did a terrific dance number with Gene.
He also sang a number of songs including "The Hat
My Father Wore Upon St. Patrick's Day."

Ed O'Brien added even more information last year:
Happened upon a little more information
Show was broadcast on NBC from 9 to 10:pm,
Monday night, 3-13-78. The taping was done in
late December of 77. The show finished #31
in the Nielsen ratings for the week. There were
66 shows on the three networks for the seven day
period.
Here is an excerpt from a wire service review:
The Kelly-Sinatra segment had show-
stopping potential, like the song and dance routine
they did together on the "Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back"
special in 1973; but it was not to be this time..
This spot found neither Kelly or Sinatra in top form.
Maybe it was the material: a parody of "I Could
Write A Book," which lacked both sentiment and
style. At any rate, the audience seemed to
appreciate Sinatra's appearance: he left the stage
to one of the few standing ovations of the night.
