Vivien Leigh in The Skin of Our Teeth (1/2) 

Leigh is so straight forward and simple in her performance she makes it look like anyone could do what she is doing - which is the sign of a true master.

Vivien Leigh was RIDICULOUSLY talented.

Can we just talk abt how goddamn amazing it is to see these actors, especially VIV to know ALL her lines without cuts? Damn.

Vivien was so gorgeous and how she can remember all those lines perfectly is amazing!

The genius of the great Vivien Leigh is so brilliant that the missing part of the broadcast is almost irrelevant!

I must have watched these two acts a dozen times by now. Vivien Leigh is totally bewitching. She is so talented and so charming. We'll not see her like again.

Vivien Leigh, one of the greatest and most beautiful of actresses. Still love her Scarlett O'Hara and Blanche du Bois. We will not experience her like again.

Thank you so so much for sharing. As always, Ms Leigh was great!!!👍👍👍

What a talented performer ..notwithstanding her passing some 54 years ago, on 7th July, 1967 to be exact, the world has yet to discover someone as gifted as Lady Vivien Leigh in her very very unique ways...

Vivien has a very plesant speaking voice. Love Love Vivien!

What a gem of a performance! Thanks for the upload.

She was genius

So wonderful Vivien ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

RIP David McCallum 09/2023 - (here as Henry Antrobus)...

Vivien Leigh grande ❤

Viv was brilliant and just so charming to watch. Thank you so very much for posting this.

I loved the play.

Vivien Leigh is hilarious when she breaks character and talks about how she hates the play and doesn't understand it. It's not an *easy* play but enjoyable.

For those of you saying she wasn't convincing, honest question, have you read the play? Because I thought she makes a brilliant Sabina.

I read this play when I was in my teens. Never got over it.

What a jewel! Thank you so much for uploading it.

OH PLEASE CANT WE HAVE THE WHOLE PLAY?

This is remarkably good.

Thanks for this

Originally telecast on March 17, 1959.

I can picture Tallulah turning to the audience and saying, "I don't understand a word of this play!"

It's a shame that the third act of this version is lost.

A wonderful adaptation of a great play. As relevant as ever with the Coronavirus. Alas, it seems part 3 is missing.

Vivien is brilliant - as is the whole cast. And is that young David McCallum playing the son?

Year this aired was never listed. It was 1959.

When I was in high school, I was a bit-player in The Skin of Our Teeth. To be frank, I don't think the director even knew what the hell he was doing. Many of us thought his interpretation was wrong. Ah, well!

Does Act 3 exist? Sad there is no film recording of Tallulah.

Are these two parts the entire play? Or have there been many cuts?

1959

Ruth Dunning was incredible.

What year is this performance? Sometime in the 60's?

im only here for theatre class.

I came for Ducky

Monty Clift was the original telegraph boy.

Came here from bf5 Easter egg

At 05:59 is that really the cameraman's butt? JEEZ! And is Vivien Leigh deliberately doing a Una Merkel impression?

What kind of accent is that?

At least *something* good came out of Joyce's "Finnegan's Wake". Terrible book that a true talent wasted 17 years on and Thornton Wilder plagiarized to write this play.

Vivien Leigh as an American housemaid!!! Not convincing!!! But charming!!!

WTF was that? Drugs must have had a role.
