The Ann-Margaret Special (film #31 in the 1969 section of TVParty). [Category: Outtakes & Obscurities]

Ann-Margaret banters with Dean Martin in this clip from her 1969 TV special. The banter is that typically silly TV special banter, which you know was carefully scripted, but was supposed to come off as ad-libbed. Ann-Margaret and Dino don’t do too badly at it, actually, which indicates how experienced they were as performers. A typical TV special moment from the 60s.
