   Sometime after this was filmed, apparently, Mel and Judy had a falling-out and she fired him from her show. He got even years later with a nasty tell-all book (which I read 50 or so years ago), THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAINBOW.

   According to the description of this video on the YouTube website, this clip first aired in 1963. It’s sad to know about the falling out. After it happened, we only got Torme’s side of the story, not Judy’s.
