Trivia
This first television showing of the Mary Martin "Peter Pan" became the highest rated TV production seen up to that time. It aired live a mere ten days after it had closed on Broadway. It was so successful that it was re-broadcast live with most of the same cast only ten months later. Four years after that, it was videotaped with most of the same cast and presented on TV again in December 1960. The 1960 version has since been rebroadcast several times and released on video cassette and DVD. The DVD has since gone out of print and is only available at a hugely expensive price.

Connections
Remade as Peter Pan (1960)

I remember seeing this as a child in 1955 and being completely fascinated by it. The flying sequences in it made me absolutely certain that humans could fly. I went on a ques to find fairy dust the next day so that i might join Peter and his cohorts in the air. I wish that I could see it now.
