Songs and schtick.

Harvey performs Shakespeare. Vegas stalwarts Jackie and Roy perform "Mountain Greenery" and "Side by Side". Interesting experimental dance number by The Tony Charmoli Dancers utilized color negative and color key effects. The show's finale is a medley of wartime song favorites sung by Van Dyke, Shore, and Harvey.
