Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

One of the most popular shows of that era. You would never see a show like it on television today. Except, now you can watch the original by tuning to the Decades network. If you do be prepared to watch something almost surreal. Opera singers, ballet dancers, stand up comedians, vaudeville acts, mimes, circus acts, ventriloquists, the best rock and pop acts of the day(The Beatles!) and of course weird acts like Senor Wences, and the guy with the spinning dinner plates. Want to feel nostalgic, amused, and beguiled? Check it out.

I saw both shows as a young almost teenager. I had older siblings whose friends crowded our TV room. The girls were shrieking so loud the guys almost could not hear the singing. My mom was right there shrieking with the girls and I remember my dad saying, "What is the big deal?" Well the big deal was the fact that every TV in our town was tuned into to that same show each night. If someone dared to walk outside I bet shrieks would have been heard all over the neighborhood. The kids at school were talking about those shows for weeks. In fact, we knew when the Beatles were going to be on weeks before and parties were planned in advance. On the day of the event, the guests started arriving in the early afternoon. We were seeing musical history right in front of our eyes.

The hottest stars. The number one hits. Ed Sullivan had em all and he had em on Sunday nights. He did nothing more than introduce the acts but that was enough. Was that Sunday night in February of 1964 when he had The Beatles for the first time the most famous night in the history of entertainment on Television? You won't get an argument from me.

I must say that I have become immersed in watching reruns of this awesome television classic as of late. Everything about it is great. It is my opinion that highlights of its series run include guest appearances by Elvis Presley, The Beatles and The Doors. Ed Sullivan was always a truly great and cordial host and it's very easy to see why this show is so fondly remembered even today.
