Peter Pan 1960, Mary Martin restored

This is the Peter Pan musical broadcast on TV in 1960 with Mary Martin and Cyril Richard.  It is a delightful musical.  

Mary Martin got her first great role in a Cole Porter show dressed in almost nothing but a fur muff, singing My Heart Belongs to Daddy.  She was also the original Nellie Forbush in South Pacific, and starred in many other Rogers and Hammerstein musicals..She was an actor, singer, and dancer.  This musical was created in 1954 with Mary Martin to be the starring role.

Cyril Richard, from Australia was a stage, film, radio, and TV actor.  He even was on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera playing the comic lead.  He is best known for his role in Peter Pan as the sneering Captain Hook.  

The available copies all had a problem which apparently was on the master tape.  Some of the alternate scan lines would slip to the left in a few scenes.  This was removed by frame editing.  The original was deinterlaced carefully and noise reduced with frame editing to remove difficult spots.
