Michael Todd Review

Post by BruceBerger » Sat Sep 07, 2019 10:56 am

I am a big fan of Clark & McCullough.

Not that long ago, I learned that the Michael Todd Review (which is basically the stage show of Streets of Paris which included Bobby Clark) aired on live TV in Jan. 1951. More than that, there are apparently also DVDs copies of the airing which exist (who knew?!).

At one time, the DVDs were available through Encore Home Video via their website; however, that website appears to no longer exist.

Does anyone out there know anything about these particular DVDs? Does anyone know how to contact the person/people behind the defunct Encore Home Video?

Any info on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

The first Todd Review aired Sunday October 1, 1950. Here are 2 ads and 2 reviews from the NYT and Chicago Tribune-

Clark was back in the same time slot on January 21, 1951. Some newspaper ads list it under Buddy Clark as opposed to (Colgate or NBC) Comedy Hour.
