Together With Music

Ford Star Jubilee 'Together with Music'. In this television debut, Noël Coward teams with Mary Martin for a no-frills evening of song and patter. Coward, who also served as director and writer, performs some of his wittiest compositions, including "Uncle Harry" and "Mad Dogs and Englishmen." In an uncharacteristic turn, he tributes his co-star by singing "Deep in the Heart of Texas," then joins her for a medley including "Anything Goes" and "Shall We Dance?" Filmed in Kinescope in 1955 this record of the 90 minute special featured a renewed friendship for Noël Coward and Mary Martin after earlier years of argument and eventually a falling-out. Kinescope filming was used to record a live broadcast for the purpose of protecting the makers from any legal prosecutions. It was Noël's unique idea to also film the rehearsal so that he could see what needed to be changed before the broadcast.
