New Faces of 1952 is a musical revue with comedy skits tied together by a flimsy plot. Produced by Leonard Sillman, it ran on Broadway for nearly a year and was then remade as a motion picture. It helped jumpstart the careers of several young performers including Paul Lynde, Alice Ghostley, Eartha Kitt, and performer/writer Mel Brooks (as Melvin Brooks).
