I have the Harris/Bussert version - was Burton's ever filmed?


I have the stage version with Richard Harris & Meg Bussert on dvd. Does anyone know if the Richard Burton/Julie Andrew version was ever captured on film? I only have a snipet of them singing together when they performed on the Ed Sullivan Show. [email protected]

One can probably only find it in the archives at Lincoln Center (http://catnyp.nypl.org/screens/loc_p.html), which isn't exactly open to the public.

Lincoln Center did not start filming theater productions until the 1970s. There is no film of the original Broadway cast, but I have and audio of the show that was recorded from the audience. It is the complete Original Broadway cast (Burton, Andrews, Goulet, McDowell) and is quite good. Not just the songs but the whole play.

I also have a fairly good video of Burton in the 1980 revival, prior to his leaving the show and being replaced by Harris.
