Great pic and a terrific timeless film, I watched it a couple weeks ago, still funny with so many comedy stars.
CN tower being built. You can also see the Royal York hotel, Commerce Court, or TD centre, etc.
With the inimitable Rummy Bishop as the comedian between the girls. He was actually quite funny. He did a lot of accents and great dirty jokes, some of which I still use a half-century later. I remember the girls coming out with their lavish costumes, strip over four songs and we sex-starved acolytes were delighted. Today, the burlesque routine is dated.
I took a pic of the Sikorski helicopter fitting the top of the CN Tower but I can't find it on my files. Too bad.
I was also there with to witness the Sikorsky put the antennae in place, what a spectacle. Before the antennae was put atop the tower, my younger sister signed her name on it, as school children were invited to the base of the tower to autograph it.
