Burt Lancaster true gentleman, One of my hero's as a kid back then.

I love Burt Lancaster with his crisp, declarative style of speaking.

Burt, what a man and actor...so very, charming and articulate..

Fascinating that back in 69 she was referring to lack of housing as one of the nations critical problems. I can't imagine it was nearly as bad as it is now. I'm a lifelong New Yorker and back in the 90s when I needed to find an affordable decent sized apartment in the boroughs it wasn't that difficult, try that now.

What a fascinating, intelligent discussion about architecture and the impact of buildings and building preservation between these three people! Burt Lancaster was a knowledgeable man. Don't have this in talk shows anymore today.

What a kind understated feminine woman. And feminity has NEVER gone out of style. Ever!

That was her personal preference. I wouldn’t want to be compelled to always speak with a soft, sweet, airy voice and demure demeanor.

@@robinrubendunst869 I don't believe it to be an affectation. We live in an era of fashion, Ms Huxtable is from an era of style.

I agree. When he asked what American city has it "right", and she said she couldn't think of one, I said "what about Chicago". Because I think that city is really impressive, it's so artistic in nature. She agreed when it was brought up, but it's definitely the city in America I've been to where I just kept looking up all the time.

Ms. Huxtable could be referencing the current state of affairs in NYC where every corner on every avenue seems to be a tear down. All the local small business shops are disappearing and they're building these high rise glass monsters that house chain restaurants. I'm a lifer and I remember the city being sarcastically referred to as "Fun City" back in the 60s. Today the term Zombie Apocalypse would be more appropriate.

Um, I think that it's pretty safe to say that you can thank your "houses of ill repute" of Wall Street, which are all located in your Fun City, for not only destroying the place where you live but the entire country through senseless CRAPitalist greed. The best thing that could ever be done is to tear down all of those brokerage houses and the NY stock exchange.

I despair of the closing of all the mom and pop shops, too. Tremendous changes on the UES. But I remember too that many of the moms and pops are retiring after 45-60 years in business. And if the kids, grandkids don’t want to do shoe repair, custom drapes, ladies undergarments (farewell, Lillie’s!!), there’s nothing to be done except close up shop, and/or sell out to the developers…

This show was broadcast over 53 years ago and nothing as far as affordable housing and building preservation in American cities has changed much at all. Terribly sad.

He will say Lancaster is the best city, obviously.

She would make a grown man cry.

Please post the interview with Jonathan Frid.

Ms Huxtable is truly a feminine flower with a microscopic observation of social and environmental idealism, Which granted her a Pulitzer Prize for her unique criticism of architectural development.

This episode aired July 21, 1969

Interesting that ALH comments on the banks going into every new building, same problem half a century later.

Imagine that

No Elton John yet? PLEASE put it up!

How the world has changed since this. It was not the architecture that mattered after all , but the people.

I’m guessing this was recorded about 50 years ago and they were discussing the housing shortage in the U.S. Some things haven’t changed!

I’m having anxieties watching her …I keep thinking her wig is going to fall off her head 😳

She had that pinned on pretty securely, I'm sure. But the dress was fairly mod. Must have been late 60's or early 70's, but cute. Cavett certainly approved, but she wasn't going to take the bait!! Smart commentary from all, unlike today's talk show banter.

Wow, your frame of reference is shallow. And there have been plenty of "hate objects" between Daley and Trump (not to mention before Daley) . Trump has been a local joke since the early 90s. (still is!) (we got the two Roosevelts, we don't need Donald the Dummy for any kind of hometown pride; met someone recently who boasted about growing up across the street from his house and we laughed in his face, he turned red as a tomato, lol.)

He should have bought property back then, imagine how much of a fortune he would have now!!

you can't blame everything on trump.

Too many Indi-ns in Chicago. There is a street that actually stinks of Ind-a. I like Burt Lancaster and what he said about SF!

Imagine what they would think of NEW YORK today
