An Evening With Fred Astaire was a hour-long television special starring Fred Astaire
which broadcast on NBC on October 17, 1958.
Produced at NBC's Color City studios in Burbank, California,
it was the first major television show to be prerecorded on color videotape.
The show was sponsored by Chrysler Corporation, and typical for advertising of the era, Chrysler cars featured prominently in the show; Astaire's final words were "I only hope the show is as good as the cars."
About Me

- Noah Price
- A poet is an unhappy being whose heart is torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music... and then people crowd about the poet and say to him: "Sing for us soon again;" that is as much as to say, "May new sufferings torment your soul" - Soren Kierkegaard
