Product Description
Description
Before he became a star from his performances in BYE-BYE BIRDIE, MARY POPPINS and CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, as well as on his own popular sitcom, Dick Van Dyke honed his comedy chops on television panel and variety shows.
This revelatory and highly entertaining collection of vintage performances -- many not seen since the 1950s -- showcase a comic legend in the making.
"In Rare Form" features classic monologue, pantomime and song & dance routines from the 1958-59 season of THE PAT BOONE CHEVY SHOWROOM. In those days, singer-actor Pat Boone would present fresh new talent to the nation's TV viewers... and he returns to repeat the feat in brand-new introductions made exclusively for this collection.
Highlights include some of Dick's most hilarious and beloved routines: "Babysitting Father", "Mailing A Letter On A Windy Corner", "Daddy's Little Girls", "The Pet Cat", "Sneaking In" and "The Tennis Champ" as well as song performances with Pat Boone and Shirley Jones.

A Classic! Dick Van Dyke the early years, was great as he was later on in his career., April 12 2007
By M. Meah - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dick van Dyke: In Rare Form (DVD)
Really Good Buy. A must have DVD for fans.If you love the comic antics of the Dick Van Dyke Show, then you'll love his earlier material that got him to stardom. Well selected acts that show the true talent of this man. 'Pet Cat' is my favorite where he acts like an old ladys cat. The old time commercials are hilarious and shamelessly plugged into his 1959 panel show 'Laugh Line'. A very unique look into that era.
Two Thumbs UP!

This was a surprisingly amazing DVD. I always knew Dick Van Dyke was a comic genius, but thanks to Pat Boone - you can see that it was just in his nature to be funny, creative and incredibly nimble!This DVD shows the origional broadcast versions of Dick's song and Dance (With Pat and Shirly Jones), skit Comedey (Laurel and Hardy) and the vinettes of story telling with only the imense limberness of Mr. Van Dyke and sound effects.
I can't believe his amazing talents. The sound and video are of the original quality of the original broadcast - but it was preserved well.
Thanks to Pat Boone who obviously released the rights and saved and organized the footage with even intros to explain what and when you are watching.
There are even bonus sketches that show rare sides of how Dick Van Dyke can alter his own comedy and make it even more funnier!
If you like Variety Shows (I.E. Carol Burnett) and watching a great performer doing what he does best - this is your DVD. For the price -it is well worth it!
I am amazed at what this Comedy Genius can do! 4-21-09

Very Early Dick Van Dyke, Feb 21 2010

This review is from: Dick van Dyke: In Rare Form (DVD)
I wasn't sure what to expect. Apparently, Dick Van Dyke was a regular on the Pat Boone show before he got his own show. He was a very talented mime. The bits reminded me of Red Skelton, but more physical. If you would like to see what Dick did before he married Laura, moved to the suburbs, and had Richie, this is for you. Pat Boone hosts the collection and connects the skits. I was never a fan of Pat Boone.
