Presented on "SATURDAY COLOR CARNIVAL" Nanette Fabray recreates her starring role in the 1947 musical about a charming con-man and his attempt to convince a young couple that they will profit from the sale of their family property.
This television Special opens with announcer, Don Pardo, exclaiming:
"Ladies and gentlemen. The following program is being brought to you live, from New York, in COMPATIBLE COLOR, pioneered and developed by RCA."
Two songs, "I Still Get Jealous" and "Papa, Won't You Dance with Me?" have served to keep in mind "High Button Shoes," the 1947 Broadway show they come from. The style of shoe suggests the period - 1913. the place is New Brunswick, New Jersey, home of Rutgers University. And the central figure of the plot is one Harrison Floy, a charming con man who has returned to New Brunswick, his home town, where live some of the few people left who don't know him for what he is.
As Sara, Nanette Fabray re-creates her 1947 role; Joey Faye is also back as Pondue, Floy's partner in crime.
Book by Stephen Longstreet.
Music and Lyrics by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn.

NOTE: This "Saturday Spectacular" presentation was broadcast only six days prior to the usage/ application, for the FIRST time, of 2" QUAD video tape which would be used to reproduce a Live quality replay time delayed television program ("Douglas Edwards with the CBS Evening News" - November 30, 1956).
Such reproduction usage would soon change the way television would be broadcast in the future. By 1960 such usage of Video Tape greatly relegated most of television' prime time broadcasting from LIVE to VIDEO TAPE.
