Ron Hutchinson just announced on the Facebook Vitaphone groupthat a full reel of original Technicolor material from "Your Show of Shows" that includes the "Sisters" number has been discovered in England. The reel is on its way to the George Eastman House for restoration. More details soon.

Great News! I think the title is "The Show of Shows."

Yippee!

It never ceases to amaze me how new material still shows up - even after all this time!

Your Show of Shows is this.

lol ... I've been watching too many 50s tv shows on YouTube lately.

Yes, the footage is indeed from "The Show of Shows".

Hardly "discovered", but possibly "rediscovered".

The existence of this reel has been known among certain archivists for many years and at least two collectors I know of have had 16mm color prints made from it for well over 30 years.

Wow! It will be awesome to see the "She's My Sister" number in Color! Now keep on digging for FLAMING YOUTH!

Here are a few pics I found on his FB page. I am not sure which ones are from "The Show Of Shows" though???:

Looks like ON WITH THE SHOW to me, except maybe bottom frames?

The last set of frames Is from Gold Diggers of Broadway. I always wondered if that dancer on the left is James Cagney?

No it's not James Cagney, but I know what you mean. They truly are exceptional dancers aren't they!! Especially when they dance on their heads!!! I wonder who they were??? Does anyone know???
