With hardly any waste motion behind the scenes, Liebman gets plenty of movement on the TV screen. In 27-year-old Sid Caesar he has a TV-raised multi-dimensional comedian who is equally convincing as a slot machine, a head-lolling infant, a British general or a Freudian psychiatrist just off the plane from Vienna. Caesar's comedy partner is pint-sized Imogene Coca ("No one knows how old she is"), who can switch from a prim Victorian to a stripteaser to a Wagnerian Valkyrie without missing a nuance or a laugh...
...citadel of Eastern-originated television was threatened last week by a routine Silver Theater show (Mon. 8 p.m., CBS-TV). The half-hour presentation, His Brother's Keeper, unusual only because it was shot entirely in film, was the first example of a multi-camera filming method devised by Hollywood's short-subject veteran Jerry Fairbanks, assisted by Silver Theater Producer-Director Frank Telford...

Aside from "Buffalo Bill's" Technicolor, they were pretty similar. Both used stock shots of bison chomping grass, both featured hundreds of war-painted extras in multi-feathered athletic supporters, both showed a genuine social concern for the plight of the Indian. More than this, "Buffalo Bill" included some scenes of a burning camp, and these--possibly discovered lying around loose on the cutting room floor--were reprinted in black-and-white in the second picture...
