GOLDIE & LIZA TOGETHER (TV)
Summary
This musical special is presented as a series of
segments leading up to a final production featuring
Goldie Hawn and Liza Minnelli. Hawn and Minnelli begin
on their first day of production singing two separate
songs about working together that become a duet by
virtue of a split screen. On their third day of
rehearsal, the two stars showcase their solo routines
for each other with the help of back up-singers and
dancers; Hawn performs "Y.M.C.A." in a locker room with
resident athletes, and Minnelli croons "Bad Girls" with
the help of some ladies of the evening. While rummaging
through the studio's wardrobe department, the stars find
some mismatched clown-like outfits and sing and dance
to a whimsical rendition of "One Step." Their next
day's activity takes place in the recording studio,
where, after numerous false starts, they perform the
duet "The Other Woman." During a lunch break the two
pals reminisce about their idea of doing a play in which
two roommates come to blows and an ultimate
understanding when one of them decides to marry. In the
finale, presented as an actual performance, Hawn and
Minnelli sing and dance to "It's What You Can," followed
by "All That Jazz" from "Chicago." They end the evening
cementing their friendship with "Gypsy's" "Together,
Wherever We Go."
Cataloging of this program was made possible by The
