A while ago I posted a video of Petula Clark on a Dean Martin show from, I’m pretty sure, 1970. It was after Goodbye Mr. Chips, because there are a couple of references to the movie.
I was bugged by the poor quality of the video that I’d snagged from YouTube. I tend to get obsessive about such things, and I like to fix them when I can. So here is “Call Me” again, but this time the transfer was done right, by yours truly, complete and without cuts, edits, or distracting overlays. This is silly fun, and what a time capsule it is! The influence of Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In — a show I absolutely loved — is apparent.
