New from The Archive of American Television Presents DVD Series:

EVENING PRIMROSE – Digitally Restored & Re-Mastered

Starring Anthony Perkins and Charmian Carr

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim • Teleplay by James Goldman

This long-lost treasure is now available on DVD (through the Archive of American Television Presents series) for the first time ever – impeccably restored and re-mastered from a pristine kinescope print. Created especially for television, Evening Primrose aired only once on ABC Stage 67. Starring Anthony Perkins and Charmian Carr, the production featured a teleplay adapted by James Goldman (from a short story by John Collier) and a score that included some of Stephen Sondheim's most hauntingly beautiful songs – among them "If You Can Find Me, I'm Here" and "Take Me to the World".

• Newly recorded audio interview with Charmian Carr
