Fragment from ''The Big Beat''
From circa 1959, this is a fragment from an episode of "The Big Beat", a New York City local program that aired on WNEW. The existing fragment begins and ends very abruptly. This particular episode was hosted by Bobby Darin, and includes segments of teens dancing to records, contestants for a beauty contest, and commercials. If you decide to upload this to another website, I request that you make it clear that this is only a fragment and not a complete episode. I don't know if any additional footage survives of the show.
