Monday Afternoon @ the Movies: In Honor of Black History Month – “Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan” (2025)

Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan (2025). The Ed Sullivan Show was the most-watched program in America, where he turned up-and-coming acts like Elvis and The Beatles into overnight sensations. But above heralding new stars, his show sent an important, unspoken, radical message of integration – in the midst of Jim Crow-era segregation – that went far beyond entertainment, challenging the nation to do the same. Sunday Best traces rise of the greatest names in music through the barrier-breaking host that introduced them to the world, featuring some of the rarest, first-ever TV performances from artists like Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, James Brown, The Jackson 5, Nat King Cole and more.  Rated TV-14/PG-13: 1 hour 30 minutes.
