MGM Parade

Season 1 Episode 23: Episode 23

Host George Murphy, in the MGM family album segment, introduces a number from Anchors Aweigh (1945) featuring Gene Kelly performing with Jerry the Mouse as the King of Cartoonland. This was the first number on the big screen where a live human and an animated character sang and danced together. Another King, or more precisely one that never was, is presented in The King Without a Crown (1937), which provides an account of a Christian missionary name Eleazar Williams living in Green Bay, Wisconsin, who actually could have been King Louis XVII of France. Murphy then introduces producer Dore Schary and writer/director Richard Brooks, who, collaborating on The Last Hunt (1956), documented the filming of the final buffalo stampede scene.
