Peter Pan

Based On the book by J. M. Barrie

Peter Pan is a 1976 British-American made-for-television musical film adaptation of J.M. Barrie's 1904 play and 1911 novel Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up starring Mia Farrow as Peter Pan and Danny Kaye as Captain Hook, and with Sir John Gielgud narrating. Julie Andrews sang one of the songs, "Once Upon a Bedtime", off-camera over the opening credits. It was first shown in the UK on Sunday, 29 February 1976 on ITV. It then aired as a presentation of Hallmark Hall of Fame on NBC at 7:30pm on Sunday, December 12, 1976, capping off the program's 25th year on the air. The program did not use the score written for the highly successful Mary Martin version which had previously been televised many times on NBC. Instead, it featured 14 new and now forgotten songs, written for the production by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse.
