New Faces (1954): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 1954, New Faces is a comedia and música film directed by Harry Horner, running about 98 minutes. “A front row seat for the FIRST musical revue in CinemaScope with STEREOPHONIC SOUND.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. New Faces was a musical revue with songs and comedy skits tied together by a quirky plot. It ran on Broadway for nearly a year in 1952 and was then made into a motion picture in 1954. It helped jump start the careers of several young performers including Paul Lynde, Alice Ghostley, Eartha Kitt, Carol Lawrence, performer/writer Mel Brooks (as Melvin Brooks), and lyricist Sheldon Harnick. The film was basically a reproduction of the stage revue with a thin plot added. The plot involved a producer and performer (Ronny Graham) in financial trouble and is trying to stave off an angry creditor long enough to open his show. A wealthy Texan offers to help out, on the condition that his daughter be in the show.

Who’s in it. New Faces stars Eartha Kitt as Eartha Kitt, Ronny Graham as Ronny Graham, Robert Clary as Robert Clary and Alice Ghostley as Alice Ghostley, among others.
