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.
