A special Carol Burnett tribute to the Beatles which pre-empts THE ENTERTAINERS a weekly CBS variety Friday night series (September 24, 1964 - March 27, 1965). 

This air check contains only the first half of this one hour special. 

Carol introduces this little known program from her home, explaining a departure from the expected ENTERTAINERS broadcast and telecasting a surprise program confirming her adulation for  the Beetles. Carol Burnett narrates interesting Beatle transitional  information over footage filmed by Albert Maysles and recorded by David Maysles' appearing in  their direct cinema feature documentary, WHAT'S HAPPENING!THE BEATLES IN THE USA (1964) which was devoid of all narration. 

Included excerpts, interviews with the Beatles by Murray Kaufman,
the Beatles in their hotel room listening to WINS radio...Sam Cooke recording, other. We hear press interviews, interactions with fans, on the phone talking to the UK. At one  point Murray the K mentions to his WINS audience, broadcasting from the Beatles hotel room, to stay tune in 44 minutes for a WINS documentary special, Meet The Beatles (see ATA #699A).  

NOTE: A very unusual use of employing visual material from a  yet to be released USA documentary using ample footage and narration by Carol Burnett over it for this television broadcast special. The Maysles Brothers 83 minute feature documentary was released in the USA December 14, 1965, a month after this Carol Burnett Special aired on television. 

Assumption is that selling footage by the Maysles Brothers to Carol Burnett's production company from their documentary was a way of promoting the complete documentary about to be released. 

Possibly the reason why there is no reference to this broadcast anywhere including, IMDb, Internet, TV Guide, Ross Reports TV Index, TV Reference books or its listing not found in any of the  major entertainment museums, is that it was not a scheduled television program but a last minute preemption filling the regular time spot for THE ENTERTAINERS.

Musical special starring singer Lena Horne.

Guest: James Mason. 

In London, James Mason makes his TV singing debut on this one-hour special featuring Lena Horne and lots of her favorite tunes.
Lena opens the show singing "I Want to Be Happy," "It's All Right with Me," "I've Got the World on a String," "Deed I Do," I've Got it Bad," "Love Me or Leave Me," "The Lady Is a Tramp" and "Love."

Ms. Horne is accompanied on the piano by her husband, composer-arranger Lennie Hayton, who's also the musical director and conductor of this show. 

Leading her own "tour" of London, Lena meets a handsome Beefeater guard (James Mason), who sings "With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm."

Other Selections by Lena include:
"Lost in the Stars," "Come Sunday," "The Eagle and Me," "He Loves Me," "the Man I Love," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top," "Day in, Day Out" and "Stormy Weather."

Lena Horne describes her career in terms of tunes. She recalls her early days at the Cotton Club, and gives tribute to drummer Sid Catlett who taught her rhythmic refinement . And to Billy Strayorn who gave Lena some of her outstanding arrangements in her career. 

In an interesting segment Lena emotes a grief parody of Liz Taylor's recent tv perambulation around London. 

Concluding the broadcast  Lena Horne does a superb medley of Negro spirituals, which she says touches her personally.   

NOTE: This video taped show was originally broadcast in London last November.
