Monkeying Around With The Cameras…April 9, 1961

Here’s great short clip of Zippy The Chimp on Ed Sullivan’s stage giving the cameramen a moving target and us, some great shots of the RCA TK11s. At least one has a Zoomar lens and at the end, a HF TD 1 pedestal gets a new use. Enjoy and share!

    thinks the entire soundtrack for this appearance was replaced for the home video release. The music isn’t the ‘live’ Ray Bloch orchestration and the applause is definitely canned. The reason? To save royalty payments. Same reason applies to the “Best of Sullivan” theme song, a bland replacement for the aired version (based on a Broadway tune, as I recall).
