Product Description
He s been called The Great Dane and The Clown Prince of Denmark but most know him simply as Victor Borge whose seamless blending of clever comedy and classical compositions led to colossal success on records radio television and sold-out concert tours for more than 75 years. In 1951 Victor Borge was given his own weekly television show cleverly titled The Victor Borge Show - which was broadcast live on NBC but lasted less than six months. Here is a symphonic smorgas-Borge of 14 ultra-rare episodes that capture Victor at his funniest sometimes alongside a pre-Honeymooners Art Carney! These are not the later concert appearances which have been released on tape and disc. These are rare kinescopes of Borge s 1951 live TV show that have remained largely unseen for more than half a century! As a bonus this 3-disc collection also contains rare appearances by Victor Borge on other variety shows of the 50s and 60s and even a car commercial! An extraordinary collection for fans of classical comedy everywhere!System Requirements:Running Time: 405 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 025493332599 Manufacturer No: PIP-DV-3325

 bad sound January 14, 2008
Lee B. Zoloto (Scottsdale, Arizona United States)
It's very hard to hear what is being said. The film is just too old to reproduce properly.

I would not have ordered had I known it was merely a collection of dated black & white video clips from early TV.It even includes the original ads for Kellogs cereal!In fact there is more footage of Kellogs than of Borge.
Someone put this together on the cheap & markets it to the unsuspecting public.It isn't worth a dime as entertainment. It belongs nowhere but in a TV museum

My elderly mother is a huge Borge fan and I gave this to her for Christmas, but after watching one, was sorry I had. There wasn't enough piano/comedy, too much lame sketch "comedy," and through one entire DVD, I didn't so much as chuckle once. If I had been able to view it before buying, I would definitely have moved on to something else.
Oddly, the one thing I found interesting was the early 50s Kellogg commercials.
Rough around the edges, but a few bright spots August 31, 2007
D. Hutcheson (Brightwood, VA)
Audio quality is sporadic (what do you expect from 50-yr old film?), so expect to ride the volume control while watching these. Victor was a great pianist and the addition of humor made him a great entertainer. These shows repeat the same "how modern composers create new tunes" skit several times, and some of the other skits lacked humor. Otherwise, nice to see Victor's humor and piano artistry in action many years ago.
 Great Victor recordings July 16, 2007

This is vintage Victor!! It is great for anyone wanting to hear Victor at his best. It has all of the favorites. Must buy for Victor Borge fans.
