A look at the Golden Age of filmmaking. 

Host: Dick Cavett. 

A sentimental journey down Hollywood's memory lane. Touring Paramount Studios, Dick Cavett is the guide for the hour which blends musical numbers and conversations with stars to recall the old days of movie-making. Cavett meets Mickey Rooney on a city-street lot, where Rooney and a children's chorus sing and dance to "We Got Us." On an old west set, John Wayne recalls his career, and there's also a comic sketch with Gene Kelly. The highlight of the show is a closing segment with Miss Mae West who is costumed as Diamond Lil, in one of her '30s roles. The 82 year old Miss West sings sultry versions of "Frankie and Johnny," and "After You've Gone."
