The Ed Sullivan Show YouTube channel has celebrated the hit movie Licorice Pizza by sharing the original segment that was recreated in the film.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s coming-of-age movie follows the lives of 25-year-old Alana Kane (played by Alana Haim) and 15-year-old Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) in the San Fernando Valley in 1973.
