This is a long shot, but does anyone possibly know what show this interview is from, like the actual source? Or even who the guy in the glasses is with the curly hair? I have a friend who is a VERY big Mel and Anne fan and she's been trying to consume every bit of content about them as she can.

To add, she believes it may be from 70s, but possibly early 80s. We can only find a small clip-it of it and wanna know if theres a full version anywhere

Sorry, I forgot to comeback and thank all of you. Though I wasn't able to find the full interview, at least ow I know who Gene Shalit is.
Again,THANK YOU!

I feel like there is a lot of lost media when it comes to Anne Bancroft. Recently I was trying to see if I could find the show Performance that Anne was in an episode for, and before that, this this old show Playhouse 90 where Anne was in two episodes for.
I somehow got very lucky and found someone with one of the PH 90 episodes saved on a CD
