"Anthony Quinn, the compelling actor with a face
compared to a relief map of the Alps, and Peggy Lee, the sultry
singer, were paired last night on the Kraft Music Hall
over the NBC network... A performer such as Mr. Quinn can hold
his own with Miss Lee, no slouch herself in understanding that
lyrics are no less important than a beat. In their climactic rendition,
the duet manager to capture the elusive durability of love, no
matter what the reasons. It was a strangely effective and poignant
oddity, well worth the waiting. Most of the rest of the show was
uneven, not to say dull. Mr. Quinn was cast in some sketches on
the woman-and-man relationship and did a reprise of his film role
in Requiem for a Heavyweight. But Miss Lee is a winning
and experienced hand in retrieving awkward moments by drifting
into a song that eases the strain. If Dwight Hemion, the director,
had a hand in matching Mr. Quinn and Miss Lee, more power to him.
The infrequent spark is never caught without experimentation."
- Jack Gould, New York Times, 9/24/70
Petula*
12/9/70, ABC
Songs included: I'm a Woman (w/ Petula Clark) / Wedding Bell Blues
(w/ Petula Clark) / What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life? /
When Johnny Comes Marching Home (w/ Petula Clark)
"Marvelously directed by Dwight Hemion, Petula
featured another rare talent, Peggy Lee. The two teamed for 'I'm
a Woman,' 'Wedding Bell Blues' and and extremely moving 'When
Johnny Comes Marching Home,' performed as the two women stood
dressed in pure white, rooted in mist and behind barbed wire...
It must have been one of those moments everyone waits for; the
correct time and setting, three perfectionist cameramen on the
floor, and two performers of such excellence... Watching Peggy
Lee lying propped up in a brass bed, rain dropping from the windows
and a man sleeping silently beside her as she sings 'What Are
You Doing the Rest of Your Life?' is nothing short of truly beautiful.
One doesn't even dare breathe loudly or even sigh. When professionalism
like hers is put to use like this it is a joy. Miss Lee is a prime
target for a high-ranking special of her own." - Hollywood

Soul.
"Tailoring scripts to fit guest stars is not an
especially common practice in television, but when a star is of
the magnitude of Peggy Lee, you can be sure reservations will
be made. This will be precisely the case February 17 when the
songstress stars in an ABC Owen Marshall episode, "Smiles
from Yesterday." Miss Lee, over 50 now, but still soft, sweet
and womanly, will portray a former singer-songwriter ho becomes
involved in a music plagiarism suit in the teleplay by John cGreevy.
Co-starring with her and Arthur Hill are Hoagy Carmichael and
Joe Camponello. The title song... will receive a voice-over rendition
by Miss Lee, who otherwise will confine herself to acting in the
hour drama." - Kay Gardella, New York Daily News, 2/10/72

ability with lyrics.' That's how a New Yorker article summed
up the talent of Peggy Lee, who is making her first appearance
with the [Boston] Pops. In a half-hour set, she sings numbers
old and new and mostly on the torch side." - TV Guide,
