I think this is one of the more underrated TV special. This, which actually comes from 1970 and not 1971, debuted the week of March 31-April 7,1970 on NBC under the sponsorship of Armstrong-Evans Carpets.
NOW I know where my 70s LP record came from! Although I'm fairly certain I never saw this special, I DO remember that darn record.....
It reminds "Solaris" of Tarkovski. The music, the story, the performances, the atmosphere, the tension are impecable.
I'm very much a Bing Crosby fan, but his TV special "Goldilocks" is nothing special. This is a musical cartoon, retelling the famous story of the Three Bears: a story that really can't sustain itself over a half-hour format, even with the addition of songs and commercials.
