Dorothy is so clever. Arlene knew who the mystery guest was right away and passed. When her turn came around again, she was couldn't pass again and asked John what she should do, so Dorothy said, "Ask a question that'll help us." They all worked so well together.
He and Pamela Tiffin were young lovers in 'One Two Three' which we saw in our annual class party when I was a junior in high school. Neither one emerged as a major star, surprising because of their good looks.

gacj2010 Funny thing then, that Martin Gabel was five years younger than Arlene 😉 Looks are of course something subjective, but I disagree with you here, too. I personally don‘t think that Martin was ugly. As for opportunist, he certainly did introduce her to a whole other group of people, as Arlene said herself in her autobiography, but by the time they got married she already had made quite a career for herself on the stage and in radio, hosting her own radio-show, blind date. Also, I really don‘t think you can call someone an opportunist if they then spend 40 years with that partner. About her first husband, sure, he was quite a bit older than her, but there is a section of the column Dorothy wrote (that predates WML by several years), where she talks about Arlene and how she doesn‘t take any offers where she suspects that her husband (Neil Agnew) might have had something to do with it. arlenefrancisandwhatsmyline.tumblr.com/post/189193500624/it-is-so-funny-reading-something-that-is-obviously

She is a good looking and very charming, witty, slightly saucy, vivacious , elegant woman. It is great fun to watch her. Mr Gable is a nice, intelligent man, but, sorry, not the outward match for Arlene which you would have expected... But their long marriage proved their harmony eventually, didn't it?
Bucholtz was the youngest member of The Magnificent Seven. He said it was HEAVEN for a little German boy to play cowboy! In fact, lots of big stars are like little boys when they get into a Western.
The Germans had an affinity for the American old west and Indians (our natives) in particular. My dad was full (Mom was all white) and when we were stationed off-base in Germany in the early '60s, the older town folk loved talking to him and doing things for him.
I have TIGER BAY but it's in another region. I wonder if it could be converted ? Or I'll have to get another player. I'm looking for THE ADVENTURES OF FELIX KRULL with Bucholz.
Tiger Bay has been freeon RUclips for a long time. WONDERFUL. Hayley said she had a major crush on Horst - he just treated her like the little girl she was.
When Henry Barnes was the traffic commissioner of Denver, he developed "Barnes' Dance." That occurs when all traffic lights at an intersection go red and pedestrians can cross pretty much any way they like, including diagonally. For years, downtown Denver traffic lights had on each corner three pedestrian walk signs -- N-S, E-W, and diagonal.
We had the Barnes Dance here in Baltimore too. Barnes also hated streetcars stating that the only thing wrong with them is that they were in the street.

In the cast were Ralph Bellamy, Inger Stevens, Cliff Robertson, Lee Grant, Doro Merande, Katherine Meskill, and Ted Beniades. The play was directed by Tom Donovan and produced by Marshall Jamison. (The executive producer was Leland Hayward.) That's why there is no 25 February 1962 episode in this playlist.

Traffic men like Mr. Barnes are of the mind that the more lanes you have and the more roads you build, the better the problem of traffic jams are alleviated. Not so fast, pardner; time has shown that building new highways and widening streets (which often entails destroying entire neighborhoods and more) results in more people and more cars flooding the new avenues and interstates. The old conception of redevelopment and Urban Renewal, which often took away entire districts was a failure in so many ways and deprived people of housing and businesses that had existed for many years.
Joe Postove - You are absolutely right. I've known of entire historic neighborhoods being destroyed in the name of "progress." Even know of residents' attending city council meetings to try to stop planned major thoroughfares being built that crisscrossed and destroyed the cohesiveness of the neighborhoods. Big business always win out and neighborhoods always lose.

One,Two,Three is one of my favorite movies. Arlene Francis, Jimmy Cagney, Horst Buccholz, and Leon Askin, who played Gen. Buchalter in Hogan's Heroes. Horst Buccholz also starred as a terrorist in a version of Raid on Entebee.
Buddy Hackett was surprisingly good and serious as a guest on the panel. He stuck to his line of questioning when the audience were laughing at him and probably not with him - about the colour of mushrooms being closer to white than yellow.
Transportation engineering was the field I originally wanted to have as a career. Alas, it was the upper level theoretical physics and calculus courses that did me in. In calculus, the eigenvalues of n-dimensional matrices that had me stymied. And in physics, it was probably that I took Werner Heisenberg too much to heart. We engineers were fond of claiming that at one time he said, "I am certain that I am uncertain." And from that a principle was named after him! So I was never able to help solve the traffic problems in NYC (especially Manhattan) which are still a mess. Sometimes there's even a traffic jam in Harlem that's backed up to Jackson Heights.
YOu need to move to California and you can discuss our freeway problems the way we do. We always have a new twist on how you can avoid freeway problems by finding the best one for the time you want to go somewhere. Or just keep going west on 110 until you just drive off the off ramp into the ocean. There. Problem solved.
Eigenvalues - a function such that inputting a vector results in the same vector times a constant [F(x)=xc] - is a differential equation which would have followed you into physics and with String or n-Bane theory might as well have become n-dimensional.
@@loissimmons6558 Be optimistic. It’s not too late to return to school. Something that amazes me is QM and relativity are over 100 years old but the general public knows little about these fundamental concepts, and worse, some math concepts known for hundreds, maybe thousands of years, are considered too complicated to be taught. Go figure
Buddy Hackett was really one of the brightest panelists in the history of WML. Funny but also a good game player as illustrated by his brilliant solving of the second contestant's line. Technically mushrooms are fungus. I used to show this to my college English classes as an example of technical definitions. Dorothy gets so bogged down in technical definitions of vegetable growing positions that it's pretty funny.
+soulierinvestments ...er, I am somewhat reticent to correct - let's say I'm REMINDING you, shall we ? - that, in your words ( should'a been , anyways ) : TECHNICALLY, MUSHROOMS ARE FUNGI .... how I shudder in hesitation and shiver in satisfaction at my remark to you, the English instructor.
Couldn't have said it better. Just because he plays the "goofy one" doesn't mean you shouldn't take him seriously, he's a comic relief all right, but he's certainly not dumb.
Complicated terms indeed, as mushrooms are not plants botanically; fungi are in a kingdom of their own. In culinary terms they are treated as a vegetable, but the part of common mushrooms that we generally eat is the "fruiting body" from which the spores are dispersed. And of course this is the part that grows above the surface of the soil, despite the misleading answers; otherwise the spores couldn't go anywhere to propagate.
I met Mister Buchholz in 1997 on a television program (morning show). He seemed to be in thought. He was drinking then. He was very well and elegantly dressed. He often turned down good offers of roles and was stubborn in his younger years. The film portrait of his son is very critical. but, he really had charisma.
After reading some comments with regard to Buddy Hackett and that he was more intelligent than he appeared to be, I wish I could remember where I saw this, but in an interview he talked about always having trouble sleeping, so he would read a lot. To hear him say that, "mushrooms aren't phototropic" was just awesome. Of course he followed it up with a great line about them "not being photogenic either."
Arlene didn't make too many films, TV and stage were more her home. When we think of her film roles, we think of One, Two, Three and The Thrill of It All, which were of course made when she was a WML panelist. But she made her film debut in 1932, with no previous acting experience in a film called "Murders in the Rue Morgue." She plays the "woman of the street." Her dialog consists mostly of crying and screaming, but she does say a few sentences. She is easily recognizable. Her costar is Bela Lugosi, making his first film after "Dracula." Spoiler alert: he kills her and his assistant then makes her body fall through a trap door into unseen water.
I'm waiting for TIGAR BAY IN MAIL (DVD) The one I can play in the USA. I haven't seen it since it came out in '59 ? I had the DVD but it was not playable on my player, but would be on another in England .
@@hertzair1186 I got the right one in the mail. It is an excellent movie. Hayley Mills is excellent. It was worth the wait. The director did a great job. Great story.
@@philiphalpenny9761 If they didn't get on, it certainly helped their performances, as their characters didn't get on. My favorite line from Cagney: "Put your pants on, Spartacus!"
Miss Frances lived a long time and had such a positive drive about her. Even with Alzheimers she probably was delightful. I've worked with Alzheimers residents over 28 years who were very cheerful despite the condition and remained so till the end. My mom was one, I cared for her the last 6 months of her life and she had Alzheimers. They also have very lucid moments from time to time triggered by different activities.
I can't stand him ever since I heard about that, knowing that Jimmy was one of the nicest, kindest people in the industry. He literally quit acting until "Ragtime" after this experience.
I have to confess that I've never heard of Horst Bucholtz. He definitely had the looks to be a leading man, so I'm curious why he apparently didn't become a star.
According to wikipedia, Horst Bucholtz was offered the role that Omar Sharif ultimately played in "Lawrence of Arabia," but turned it down because he had committed to do "One, Two, Three." For multiple reasons, Sharif was a far better choice for the role and it is all for the better that Buzholtz was unavailable.
NO ONE COULD HAVE DONE IT BETTER THEN OMAR...They use to say when Omar walk or rode onto the screen you could hear panties drop in the theatre! not my quote- Herb Caen I think, when Omar was on screen you could hear sighs
Yes, this is just one of the MANY errors in basic biology that were made routinely on WML over the years. I just posted a brand new clips video compiling dozens of examples like this (and which includes this very segment!) Check it out! ruclips.net/video/oPSejh5E7BQ/видео.html
They mention at the end of this segment that it is a fungus. But in terms of food sales in the produce aisle and food preparation, mushrooms are included in the vegetable category. In a similar way, tomatoes are categorized as a vegetable even though in biology terms it is a fruit. (While watching this episode, I just drank some V-8, not a V-7/F-1. The juice is made from tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, watercress and spinach.)
Horst looks like he's about to burst into tears over Arlene's introduction of him. Frankly, I don't know when she had time to get to know him during production. He acted mostly with James Cagney and Pamela Tiffin in 1-2-3. I don't remember his crossing paths with Arlene's character.
Most likely because the entire cast was on location shooting in Berlin. I recall reading that they all stayed in the same hotel/apartment building, or some such. So they basically had production "family" time whilst filming, meals together and touring around.
Horst handed Arlene something as he exited the stage, and then turned back to take it out of her hand. She looked so disappointed. Wonder what it was. A program from "One Two Three?"
One, Two Three is one of the funniest movies I've seen, and I've seen tons. This was James Cagney's funniest movie. And if you are an anti-communist, this is even funnier, because it's so true.
As much as I like Horst Buccholz, I've read that James Cagney hated his guts while they were working on the movie they did with Arlene, "One-Two-Three." Horst was purportedly pulling every scene-stealing scene in the book -- as if it were possible for anyone to steal a scene from Cagney! -- and Cagney said he wanted to kick Horst's a--. I believe that's more or less an exact quote.
I thought Buchholz also looked somewhat similar to Arnold Schwartzenegger. And when I googled his name, up came a pic of him during his more mature years where he looked as if he was Arnold! (To boot, he's also German. And even though the spelling of his last name was "Americanized" it originally meant 'wooden book" ( ! ), I believe.
"But i hate Lenny Bruce" does anyone know the story? And buddy Hackett was a storyteller like Michael Richards was a visual comic. Buddy stuck to it I wish Michael had. He was really funny
@gcjerryusc it is much easier to act like a nice guy for a few minutes on camera than it is to actually be a nice guy. Many celebrities' images are completely different from their reality as people. Not all, but many.
I'm assuming the answer is "yes", but can anyone confirm if the goofy way Buddy Hackett spoke, was a put on, and was part of his act the similar way that Jerry Lewis' similar silly voice was a part of his own "act"?
For now, yes, I'm skipping that show. All I have is the mystery guest segment, which is very short. Another collector sent it to me very recently and I haven't looked at it yet, or checked to see if it's already been posted to RUclips. I'd rather wait to get the full show if I can find it than upload a clip, and I would never post a clip if I could determine that someone else already posted it.
When Gil Fates's book on WML was published c 1978, he appeared as a guest on “The Tonight Show” starring Johnny Carson. He brought this particular mystery guest clip with him. Really one of the most funny things Carson ever did on WML.
+sweiland75 John Daly was a bit high with his estimate of the NYC population. According to the 1960 census, the NYC population was 7.8 million, down from 7.9 million in 1950. It picked up that lost 100,000 in the 1960's but high crime in the 1970's and suburban flight pushed down the population to about 7.1 million by 1980. Since then the population has increased with every census and the estimate in 2017 was about 8.6 million. There is still usually a net outflow from NYC in terms of moves within the U.S., but the number of immigrants arriving here and settling in NYC more than makes up for it.
Omar Gonzalez - I agree. We think that police officers have to make their quota by giving out a certain number of tickets per day. That's why depending upon the time of day you might or might not get a ticket for a specific behavior.
If you watch "One, Two, Three" you see that Arlene and Horst have almost no screen time together at all. So I'm not sure just how well she got to know him.
It's interesting that they don't share the screen so much but no surprise to me that they bonded. They all seem to become like a family these people when they make a movie. I would imagine Arlene was even best mates with the makeup girls and the key grip too. Look at De Niro and Pacino....didn't share the screen over the course of three hours in Godfather II....but the closest of buddies off-camera.
Arlene was very jealous of beautiful women contestants when Martin was a panelist. On the other hand, she was quite flirtatious with the good looking men contestants.
"It's a fungus, but it's part of the vegetable family." No, John. No, it is not. It's a fungus. It's part of the fungus family. The ignorance of John Daly and the regular panelists regarding basic facts of biology never ceases to astound me. Perhaps the most risible example was when Dorothy Kilgallen referred to eggs as a "dairy product."
+Ernie Galvan Very true. "The best known groups of cryptogams are algae, lichens, mosses and ferns, but it also includes non-photosynthetic organisms traditionally classified as plants, such as fungi, slime molds, and bacteria. The classification is now deprecated in Linnaean taxonomy."
+fishhead06 I believe she referred to eggs as a dairy product because they were often delivered by the milk man and are also found in the dairy section of many supermarkets.
When my uncle Lester would put this show on, we would always take cellophane and put it on the screen and draw mustaches on Bennett surf and my uncle would get really mad at us and then we would tie his shoes together and give them a hot foot and when he ran after us, he would trip and fall right on his face and we would call him a sack of shit shit

Or just keep going west on 110 until you just drive off the off ramp into the ocean. There. Problem solved.
Eigenvalues - a function such that inputting a vector results in the same vector times a constant [F(x)=xc] - is a differential equation which would have followed you into physics and with String or n-Bane theory might as well have become n-dimensional.

Something that amazes me is QM and relativity are over 100 years old but the general public knows little about these fundamental concepts, and worse, some math concepts known for hundreds, maybe thousands of years, are considered too complicated to be taught.

A mushroom isn’t a fruit or vegetable, it’s a fungus, and it grows above the ground.
Surprising that the picker wouldn't know that.
John clearly makes the distinction of mushrooms technically being a fungus in the conversation with the contestant at the end of her segment.
Buddy Hackett was really one of the brightest panelists in the history
of WML. Funny but also a good game player as illustrated by his
brilliant solving of the second contestant's line. Technically mushrooms
are fungus.
I used to show this to my college English classes as an example of
technical definitions. Dorothy gets so bogged down in technical
definitions of vegetable growing positions that it's pretty funny.
+soulierinvestments ...er, I am somewhat reticent to correct - let's say I'm REMINDING you, shall we ? - that, in your words ( should'a been , anyways ) : TECHNICALLY, MUSHROOMS ARE FUNGI .... how I shudder in hesitation and shiver in satisfaction at my remark to you, the English instructor.
Couldn't have said it better. Just because he plays the "goofy one" doesn't mean you shouldn't take him seriously, he's a comic relief all right, but he's certainly not dumb.
A mushroom is a fungus.....mushrooms are fungi
totally agree about buddy and shrooms
Complicated terms indeed, as mushrooms are not plants botanically; fungi are in a kingdom of their own. In culinary terms they are treated as a vegetable, but the part of common mushrooms that we generally eat is the "fruiting body" from which the spores are dispersed. And of course this is the part that grows above the surface of the soil, despite the misleading answers; otherwise the spores couldn't go anywhere to propagate.
Buddy Hackett, another good panelist.
Does any one remember Martin Gabel in Marnie?
Yes. I had to keep reminding myself "He's acting". He was creepy and unpleasant.
Buddy Hackett is really funny but also very smart. A good panelist.
Funny how?
@@peternagy-im4be Funny mouth: a weirdly shaped one. there.
Horst was so handsome.
Johnny Olsen has such a distinctive, wonderful voice.
The latest DNA studies have concluded that Mushrooms/fungus are neither animals or plants but part of their own kingdom.
Psilocybin Mushrooms Bitch.
Mr. Bucholtz was memorable in "The Magnificent Seven".
I actually thought he over acted and was not very good. I have watched the film about 10 times over the years including when it first came out.
4:30 Buddy made the same joke that Ernie Kovacs made on the episode when Danny Thomas was the mystery guest.
For the mystery guest section, John Daly missed turning over a card on a No answer from Dorothy's question "Are you in the children's hour?"
I met Mister Buchholz in 1997 on a television program (morning show).
He seemed to be in thought.
He was drinking then.
He was very well and elegantly dressed.
He often turned down good offers of roles and was stubborn in his younger years.
The film portrait of his son is very critical. but, he really had charisma.
After reading some comments with regard to Buddy Hackett and that he was more intelligent than he appeared to be, I wish I could remember where I saw this, but in an interview he talked about always having trouble sleeping, so he would read a lot. To hear him say that, "mushrooms aren't phototropic" was just awesome. Of course he followed it up with a great line about them "not being photogenic either."
Leonard Hacker became Buddy Hackett
He was in one of my favorite movies, "Fanny"
Loved him in "One two three".
I believe that Horst's last name is spelled Buchholz.
You're right-- thanks for the correction. I've edited the video title and description accordingly.
Arlene didn't make too many films, TV and stage were more her home. When we think of her film roles, we think of One, Two, Three and The Thrill of It All, which were of course made when she was a WML panelist. But she made her film debut in 1932, with no previous acting experience in a film called "Murders in the Rue Morgue." She plays the "woman of the street." Her dialog consists mostly of crying and screaming, but she does say a few sentences. She is easily recognizable. Her costar is Bela Lugosi, making his first film after "Dracula." Spoiler alert: he kills her and his assistant then makes her body fall through a trap door into unseen water.
I wonder who gave the green light to the Mr. Barnes spot?
Ouch. You sound like Bennett.
@@shirleyrombough8173 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm waiting for TIGAR BAY IN MAIL (DVD) The one I can play in the USA. I haven't seen it since it came out in '59 ? I had the DVD but it was not playable on my player, but would be on another in England .
Dan Celli : Tiger Bay, the complete movie, is here on RUclips, watched it last night...very good film. Bucholz and Hayley Mills were excellent.
@@hertzair1186 I got the right one in the mail. It is an excellent movie. Hayley Mills is excellent. It was worth the wait. The director did a great job. Great story.
So gorgeous!
The Wikipedia entry for "One, Two, Three" says that conflict between stars Bucholz and James Cagney almost came to blows. Cagney hated him.
Aloha Horst
How refreshing to have Martin Gabel on without Bennett Cerf.
Why? Didn't you like Mr. Cerf?
Silverstone L Refreshing maybe but I hope they don't do it again.
They did not mention Cagney who was the star of the film ...
Maybe that was on purpose, as Cagney & Bucholtz did not get on at tall well!
Philip Halpenny Wow nice info. :)
@@philiphalpenny9761 If they didn't get on, it certainly helped their performances, as their characters didn't get on. My favorite line from Cagney: "Put your pants on, Spartacus!"
@@lemorab1 Lol. Great film... sadly, the marvelous Pamela Tiffin died last week. How adorably gauche was she in that movie?vv vv
@@philiphalpenny9761 Yeah, I read that a couple of days ago. Everyone was perfectly cast in "One, Two, Three!"
It's sad Arlene Francis died afflicted with Alzheimers
Allan Shulstad She lived a long long long life though compared to most. Afflictions come to us all. Such is life.
Arlene had an amazing life she was married to Moss Hard the ply write & she lived a good one
@@LadyChloeMarlow Kitty Carlisle was married to Moss Hart. Arlene was married to Martin Gabel.
@@gbrumburgh - Was Martin Gabel her first husband? Did she have children? Seems like a wonderful human being.
Miss Frances lived a long time and had such a positive drive about her. Even with Alzheimers she probably was delightful. I've worked with Alzheimers residents over 28 years who were very cheerful despite the condition and remained so till the end. My mom was one, I cared for her the last 6 months of her life and she had Alzheimers. They also have very lucid moments from time to time triggered by different activities.
Horst Bucholtz: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Buchholz
James Cagney said that Buchholz was the only actor he ever worked with that he thoroughly detested.
Lee Clark Much like the character in The Magnificent Seven then. How pertinent!
Mc Queen was drinking heavily at the time.
I can't stand him ever since I heard about that, knowing that Jimmy was one of the nicest, kindest people in the industry. He literally quit acting until "Ragtime" after this experience.
I'm sure that might have been reversed to Cagney too
Cagney was a bloody dinosaur at that point. He was irrelevant.
I have to confess that I've never heard of Horst Bucholtz. He definitely had the looks to be a leading man, so I'm curious why he apparently didn't become a star.
daaa HE DID
Of course he was a big star in the Fifties, Sixties, Seventies.
he was offered the parts in Lawrence of Arabia and West Side Story.
Mushrooms aren't vegetables. They are fungi
Horst was so handsome, young and enthusiastic
I agree and excellent actor ... ❤
Horst is my favorite communist! And 1, 2, 3 is one of my favorite movies!
Good show, despite presence of repulsive Buddy Hackett.
Mushrooms are a fungus - neither fruit nor vegetable, but that wasn't known at the time.
According to wikipedia, Horst Bucholtz was offered the role that Omar Sharif ultimately played in "Lawrence of Arabia," but turned it down because he had committed to do "One, Two, Three." For multiple reasons, Sharif was a far better choice for the role and it is all for the better that Buzholtz was unavailable.
NO ONE COULD HAVE DONE IT BETTER THEN OMAR...They use to say when Omar walk or rode onto the screen you could hear panties drop in the theatre! not my quote- Herb Caen I think, when Omar was on screen you could hear sighs
In 2024,he's considered one of the two least famous members of the 7-Brad Dexter being the other.
A mushroom is a fungus, not a vegetable.
Yes, this is just one of the MANY errors in basic biology that were made routinely on WML over the years. I just posted a brand new clips video compiling dozens of examples like this (and which includes this very segment!) Check it out! ruclips.net/video/oPSejh5E7BQ/видео.html
What's My Line?
Thanks! I still enjoy watching WML though.
They mention at the end of this segment that it is a fungus. But in terms of food sales in the produce aisle and food preparation, mushrooms are included in the vegetable category. In a similar way, tomatoes are categorized as a vegetable even though in biology terms it is a fruit. (While watching this episode, I just drank some V-8, not a V-7/F-1. The juice is made from tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, watercress and spinach.)
*_TRAFFIC COMMISSIONER OF NEW YORK CITY_*
*_MUSHROOM PICKER IN CAVE_* The show was always more fun and lively without Bennett.
Horst looks like he's about to burst into tears over Arlene's introduction of him. Frankly, I don't know when she had time to get to know him during production. He acted mostly with James Cagney and Pamela Tiffin in 1-2-3. I don't remember his crossing paths with Arlene's character.
Most likely because the entire cast was on location shooting in Berlin. I recall reading that they all stayed in the same hotel/apartment building, or some such. So they basically had production "family" time whilst filming, meals together and touring around.
Horst crossed paths with Arlene in the last scene in the airport, when they arrived in that fancy limo.
Interesting how different Arlene's take on Horst Buchholz in "One, Two, Three" was from that of James Cagney, in his autobiography.
lol - pretty sure on movie locations they don't restrict you to only meeting people you're doing a scene with!
What did Cagney say about Horst? He (Horst) seems like a nice guy.
Re mushroom picker: it is NOT a vegetable. Furthermore, she picks them. Doesn't she know how much is above ground at harvest?
You can Really see how far America has Fallen
Nobody supports your foolish comment, you radical redneck.
Horst handed Arlene something as he exited the stage, and then turned back to take it out of her hand. She looked so disappointed. Wonder what it was. A program from "One Two Three?"
Think about the news she revealed about him and then ask yourself what could you show a picture of that would make a woman react like that.
Yes, but I always thought "What's My Line" was such a family show! @@stephaniezimbalist3757
Clap
One, Two Three is one of the funniest movies I've seen, and I've seen tons. This was James Cagney's funniest movie. And if you are an anti-communist, this is even funnier, because it's so true.
Jimmy Cagney didn't have dear, homey feelings for Bucholtz, whom he considered the most unprofessional actor he ever worked with.
Arlene was my favorite 2:54
As much as I like Horst Buccholz, I've read that James Cagney hated his guts while they were working on the movie they did with Arlene, "One-Two-Three." Horst was purportedly pulling every scene-stealing scene in the book -- as if it were possible for anyone to steal a scene from Cagney! -- and Cagney said he wanted to kick Horst's a--. I believe that's more or less an exact quote.
I love Coca-Cola, not Pepsi-Cola, because Pepsi tastes like tar.
Horst Buchholz seems to look, act, and speak a great deal like Tom Cruise. Any who think so too?
I thought Buchholz also looked somewhat similar to Arnold Schwartzenegger. And when I googled his name, up came a pic of him during his more mature years where he looked as if he was Arnold! (To boot, he's also German. And even though the spelling of his last name was "Americanized" it originally meant 'wooden book" ( ! ), I believe.
@@deboraholsen2504 Arnold Schwarzenegger kam aus Osterreich.
"But i hate Lenny Bruce" does anyone know the story? And buddy Hackett was a storyteller like Michael Richards was a visual comic. Buddy stuck to it I wish Michael had. He was really funny
bobgarner44 "I ain't Lenny Bruce".
@Piustwelvetrees: Cf. IMDB
@gcjerryusc it is much easier to act like a nice guy for a few minutes on camera than it is to actually be a nice guy. Many celebrities' images are completely different from their reality as people. Not all, but many.
I agree about Lenny I say him on a Sunday Morning at the old Fillmore , OMG he was awful, I think it is a shame he was treated by the cops so badly,
@@hot88s23 have since cleaned out my ears.But still don’t know the Lenny Bruce reference
I'm assuming the answer is "yes", but can anyone confirm if the goofy way Buddy Hackett spoke, was a put on, and was part of his act the similar way that Jerry Lewis' similar silly voice was a part of his own "act"?
It's a put-on. It was part of his "shtick."
Are you missing the previous episode (2/11/62)? That one had Johnny Carson as a mystery guest.
For now, yes, I'm skipping that show. All I have is the mystery guest segment, which is very short. Another collector sent it to me very recently and I haven't looked at it yet, or checked to see if it's already been posted to RUclips. I'd rather wait to get the full show if I can find it than upload a clip, and I would never post a clip if I could determine that someone else already posted it.
When Gil Fates's book on WML was published c 1978, he appeared as a guest on “The Tonight Show” starring Johnny Carson. He brought this particular mystery guest clip with him. Really one of the most funny things Carson ever did on WML.
soulierinvestments You've made me really want to see the segment.
isn't the current population of NYC about 8.5 million? that seems odd
amazingly the nyc population hovered between 7-8 mil from the 1940s until the late 90s
+sweiland75
John Daly was a bit high with his estimate of the NYC population. According to the 1960 census, the NYC population was 7.8 million, down from 7.9 million in 1950. It picked up that lost 100,000 in the 1960's but high crime in the 1970's and suburban flight pushed down the population to about 7.1 million by 1980. Since then the population has increased with every census and the estimate in 2017 was about 8.6 million. There is still usually a net outflow from NYC in terms of moves within the U.S., but the number of immigrants arriving here and settling in NYC more than makes up for it.
Nice piece of television,after a short time after the war Germany begann a normal relationship with amerika......very good!
Traffic tickets are abusive. No wonder it Leeds to none compliance. Unless you're caught.
Omar Gonzalez - I agree. We think that police officers have to make their quota by giving out a certain number of tickets per day. That's why depending upon the time of day you might or might not get a ticket for a specific behavior.
Was there something wrong with Buddy Hackett? He seems to be "challenged."
Nope it’s an act he was very smart
You are the retard, you freaking know nothing.
If you watch "One, Two, Three" you see that Arlene and Horst have almost no screen time together at all. So I'm not sure just how well she got to know him.
It's interesting that they don't share the screen so much but no surprise to me that they bonded. They all seem to become like a family these people when they make a movie. I would imagine Arlene was even best mates with the makeup girls and the key grip too.
Look at De Niro and Pacino....didn't share the screen over the course of three hours in Godfather II....but the closest of buddies off-camera.
Arlene knew everyone,
1 2 3 Funny Movie😂😂😂😂😂😂
Arlene was very jealous of beautiful women contestants when Martin was a panelist. On the other hand, she was quite flirtatious with the good looking men contestants.
"It's a fungus, but it's part of the vegetable family." No, John. No, it is not. It's a fungus. It's part of the fungus family. The ignorance of John Daly and the regular panelists regarding basic facts of biology never ceases to astound me. Perhaps the most risible example was when Dorothy Kilgallen referred to eggs as a "dairy product."
+fishhead06 Back in those days fungi were believed to be plants and were generally classified as cryptograms, today we know they are another kingdom.
+Ernie Galvan Very true. "The best known groups of cryptogams are algae, lichens, mosses and ferns, but it also includes non-photosynthetic organisms traditionally classified as plants, such as fungi, slime molds, and bacteria. The classification is now deprecated in Linnaean taxonomy."
+fishhead06 I believe she referred to eggs as a dairy product because they were often delivered by the milk man and are also found in the dairy section of many supermarkets.
What r eggs then?
Well then, I'm an ignorant slob too because I would have lined with their thinking.
Does Horst Buchholz look a little like the older Davy Jones?
Horst reaching for flat American accents
The host gives me the irrits.
OMG a mushroom IS a fruit, by definition.
When my uncle Lester would put this show on, we would always take cellophane and put it on the screen and draw mustaches on Bennett surf and my uncle would get really mad at us and then we would tie his shoes together and give them a hot foot and when he ran after us, he would trip and fall right on his face and we would call him a sack of shit shit
