There were also photoshoots at the time providing more cringe than merriment:

Well if "what wasn't funny then" is on topic, I nominate Buddy Hackett.

The ethnic stuff wouldn't fly nowadays, but even by the standards of the time he was unremittingly cringe-worthy.

Breakfast as Tiffany's could be remade in modern times (as a period piece) as long as an actual Japanese American played Mister Yunioshi.

I suggest George Takei. Of course he'd have to deliver the lines (you should pardon the expression) "straight".
By which I mean his own normal accent, though camping it up a bit would be OK.

I'm sure Truman Capote would approve. 8)

Didn't Sir John Gielgud play the role in London in the 1966 musical?

I seem to recall that there were a couple of Peter Sellers movies that might qualify for ed's intended genre.
