Oldest Color Entertainment Videotape Discovered, Preserves the ‘Kraft Music Hall Starring Milton Berle’


What's believed to be the oldest color videotape will be screened at a UCLA program.

The rare two-inch videotape surfaced thanks to the efforts of television distributor and executive producer Paul Brownstein( The Greatest Night in Pop) and independent archivist and documentarian Dan Wingate ( Kaye Ballard: The Show Goes On). The screening will also showcase additional Kraft Music Hall surprises, with superstar guests including Sammy Davis, Jr., Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Jerry Lewis, Harpo Marx, Peter Lorre, and more. Paul Brownstein Productions distributes artist owned network series and specials, including The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and Cher.
