Marty, thank you for bumping this thread. It prompted me to do some overdue rainy Sunday afternoon viewing. I should note that the DVD set contains the complete Frank Sinatra interview which, at 13 minutes, is even more complete than the one which appeared on YouTube last year (and which has since been removed).

It is fascinating to watch these interviews with celebrities in their own homes. The look of love on the face of Sammy Davis Jr. while introducing his grandmother, or of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis when introducing their wives and children, is alone worth the price of this 3-DVD set.

For the record, these are the interview subjects on Edward R. Murrow: The Best of 'Person To Person'. Each disc contains approx. 2 hours and 25 minutes of video:

Disc 1: AMERICAN ICONS
Dick Clark / Billy Graham / Andy Griffith / Oscar Hammerstein / John F. Kennedy / Robert Kennedy / Norman Rockwell / Eleanor Roosevelt / Danny Thomas / Art Linkletter / Esther Williams
Disc 2: HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS
Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall / Marlon Brando / Tony Curtis & Janet Leigh / Bette Davis / Kirk Douglas / Charlton Heston / Sophia Loren / Gene Kelly / Marilyn Monroe / Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward / Elizabeth Taylor & Mike Todd
Disc 3: LEGENDARY ENTERTAINERS
Milton Berle / Jonathan Winters / Sammy Davis, Jr. / Jerry Lewis / Dean Martin / Frank Sinatra / Sid Caesar / Liberace / Carol Channing / Helen Hayes
