New Faces

The 1954 film "New Faces" is a musical revue based on its Broadway predecessor, featuring songs and comedy skits tied together by a thin plot. It was filmed in Cinemascope and Eastmancolor, with Ronny Graham as the producer and performer, whose show needs to be saved by a wealthy Texan backer. The film also stars Eartha Kitt, Alice Ghostley, Robert Clary, Carol Lawrence, and others reprising their stage roles, including Mel Brooks, who wrote several sketches for the revue.
