Back when our whole family was together, my mom used to (innocently) kid my grandma that she had a crush on Arlene Francis. My grandma always admired Arlene's elegant dresses and hair and said she was pretty.🥰
I just realized exactly when this was when Phil asked, "How about tomorrow?"... Tomorrow in this case was one of the most famous games in baseball history: game 5 of the 1956 World Series, in which Sal pitched well but lost to Don Larsen's Perfect Game.
In case you're not a baseball fan, panelist Phil Rizzuto was the Yankees' shortstop in the forties. About 20 years after this show, he did the baseball announcer's narration in Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light."
Phil was the regular play by play broadcaster for WPIX, channel 11, in NY. I grew up listening to him. He was great. I wasn't born in time to catch him as a player, but know he was an awesome shortstop. Good to see him again.
@MrDuds1984 I've always sorta fancied the 18th century.All those buttons, breeches, buckles, and boots.Carriages,pistols,wigs... I would however definitely wanted to have large quantities of cash....
Love to have them in color. Although the syndicated versions are in color , but, this group together ( Arlene, Benett, John and Dorothy) were basically never seen in color. This is amazing 😊👍🏻
This is one technology more than anything I hope really progresses during this decade...b/w pics/films just come to life when colorized right! Hopefully the AI/programs/etc will progress towards being able to easily automatically colorized whatever pic/film we want and not get that weird purple effect.
@@michaelmayoh656 I totally get why in the late 80s when colorization was first tried some considered it a form of sacrilige but that is no longer true today. Every DVD of every colorized movie I know of also includes the original b/w version if you prefer. Best of both worlds.
A good colorization takes a lot of time and is best done with the clearest source footage. CBS recently did some amazing colorizations for The Dick Van Dyke Show and I Love Lucy. But they had high definition files from the original film masters to work with. Of course with WML being broadcast on video, there are no original pristine film masters for WML, just the poor quality kinescopes recorded off a TV screen like you see here. There isn't likely to be technology that will be able to overlay crisp color over mushy footage.
@@4seeableTV Even mushy (but accurate!) color is better than nothing. I am definitely looking forward to seeing how this colorization technology progresses in the upcoming years.
I have seen more than a few. Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman and Shirley Jones among others. Always felt a little bad for them. As a Mystery guest I think you want them to guess you.
I was always a Dodgers fan and got to see them play at Seals Stadium in San Francisco when they first came to California. I felt bad for Brooklyn’s losing the team.
Maglie pitched well in the Series but little did he know that the next day he pitched against Yankee's Don Larsen's perfect game. The only in World Series history.
Daly helped too much with the maternity clothes, but Dorothy was definitely well on the scent, I believe anyway? She's wicked smart. We lost her way too young. Mad respect! btw, mystery guests received $500 for appearing, and if they managed to stump the panelists, just $50 more. So, they left happy no matter what. Easier said than done though, the panelists were all crazy good. That last $50 was like a badge of honor to win.
This is good, but they have colorized and speed corrected some very old films, that make them look almost modern. I’d love to see that done to What’s My Line.
really? Her career lasted a lomg time and she was one of the great tap dancers. She toured for many years with Mickey Rooney. Google her name with "Great American Soup" and you can see an example of her work.
For many years Phil Rizzuto was the shortstop for the Yankees. But in August of 1956 he was unceremoniously cut from the team. Phil was quite popular and many Yankee fans were outraged. However the team did put Phil in their broadcast booth and he remained there for almost 40 years.
The only thing about the ' colorized' is that it really lacks the true colors. It's ok I guess but not the same. Loved the show b&w. Anyway I can see it! Lol.
In case you like that sort of thing: I just uploaded another colorized episode that I also interpolated to 60fps and I intend to do more (What's my line or even movies) once I figure out how to do colorisation myself.
Of course it is and not the best job. But it still helps to imagine what it could have been like at the time. No real colour version of the original series exists.

I always loved the clarity of Daly's voice...
Arlene Francis was a classy, captivating, gorgeous woman...
I wish there were more episodes colorized like this!

Dorothy Kilgallen, Arlene Francis, and Ann Miller! Hubba hubba 🤩
in any color Arlene is very beautiful!!!!......
This is my comment......Love it!
This was a great episode. TY!

And, I believe Micky Mantle made a spectacular catch in centerfield, keeping Larson's perfect game intact.
Phil's face was on camera when the question was asked but I think it was actually Bennett who asked it. Either way I like your comment.
Sitting down the maternity clothes would not show
If they only had asked about dancing they would known it was Ann Miller. No one thought for a second about dance.
Then Don Larsen was a Yankee. What a thrill to have seen that game.
Arlene Francis is absolutely the best ever.
Pretty too
Color me different, but I prefer this show in black and white.

Nice to see the clothes colors and make up etc...

About time they had coloured people on the panel
Wait what
Stupid, morbid joke!
@@RonGerstein I think that you lack both a sense of humour and a basic knowledge of the english language. "morbid" ?

Black people in show biz on television were not invented until Sammy Davis, Jr and Louis Armstrong about 1957.
Wow! thank you for colorizing!
A treat to see this in color!
The color is awful. All the folks look dead.
@@USA24541 They are, sadly.
@@USA24541 I wouldn't call this "color". What a waste of time doing this; the black and white is/was fine.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kitty Carlyle in person a few times. I noticed Arlene Francis voice is identical to Kitty! Its incredible!
They were pretty good friends.
It didn't occur to me until you mentioned it. Voice-wise, I couldn't tell one from the other.
This is the only early episode I've seen in color, I i must see more! Lol
This was from when people had dignity and decorum.
Some of us still have. 🤵♂️
An age 'gone with the wind', long before I was very born.
I was exactly 9 months old when this program aired. I remember watching this series. It was a rather long lived series,I imagine.
HOLY COW the SCOOTER...
What a peculiar thing colorization is with everything black, white & grey, while people share the same skin tone: an absurd endeavor.
The colorization makes them look like they are caked in makeup.
They probably were
Ann Miller is such a spectacular dancer in film that you can fail to notice just what a beautiful woman she really is.
Somewhere I saw a photo of Arlene when she was around 20 years old. Total "fox".
I can imagine. (-:
This aired exactly one week before my 3rd birthday 😳
I enjoy seeing Sal Maglie and Phil Rizutto on the same show.

@@JohnSmith-zw8vp Color just for the sake of color, no matter how the horrible the quality of the black and white is, adds absolutely nothing.
Classy women. Ann Miller was so beautiful.
Poor colorization. Hurts my eyes just watching it. Colorization is much better today. That might be good to see!
This is the first time I've seen an episode where they haven't guessed the mystery person, namely an actor.
See the Julie London episodes, they never guessed her. Anyway, once they knew Miller was a dancer they should have pursued that line.
John gave it away when he said a situation would have to be obtained. I do think Dorothy was clearly on the right track though
I have seen more than a few. Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman and Shirley Jones among others. Always felt a little bad for them. As a Mystery guest I think you want them to guess you.
No sound, but Ann Miller looks beautiful.

I really like her, Ann❤❤❤
Maglie pitched well in the Series but little did he know that the next day he pitched against Yankee's Don Larsen's perfect game. The only in World Series history.
Sorry Ted Maire, I see you have posted with reference to the perfect game.
And it would not be until 2010 that another no-hitter would ever be pitched in ANY round of postseason.
The day before Larsen's perfect game where "The Barber" took the loss.
Handsome pitcher!
Arlene's dress and the ads plastered across the front of the panels' podium. Priceless.
Oh, it’s a dress. I thought it as an open-top oil drum.
Uncanny unbelievable 75years ago incredible and so very sad that they are all gone to heaven lolx 😀❤😀
I doubt that THEY are sad they have gone to heaven!!! ;)

Very nice to see this run of What's My Line? in color.
Come on colorized them all.
*HOW DOES ONE DE-COLORIZE THE VIDEO???*
I remember as a little kid in the 60s when older women still had those hairstyles 😏

No taxi cab drivers, judges, politicians, doctors, military, bus drivers, pilots, company ceos.
My mom came in October of 1956.
Came where?
Did you literally go frame by frame and color this?
definitely seems like an AI colorized this
@@thewolfkingofla You are right. I don't think it's brilliant but I uploaded it because there wasn't anything like this on YT yet.
Ann miller hablando español..si si, poquito, poco ,poco divina..
Have been waiting for someone to colorize this show. Love it!
Colorizing is a sacrilege!
This is good, but they have colorized and speed corrected some very old films, that make them look almost modern. I’d love to see that done to What’s My Line.
John Daly was born on the CONTINENT of Africa, southern Africa in Johannesburg!
The panel acted like they never heard of Ann Miller.
I've never heard of her but she's gorgeous!

@@ccbsnyc and, she was a babe.
Cool seeing this in color
Could the taxi driver see over the top of the steering wheel?
looks strange in color well this version anyway.
ya the color job was not done very well at all
The next day he lost the perfect game to Don Larsen.

Who colorized this?
Precious Memories Sweetheart's..❤🤍💙⚘🎚🍑
With all due respect to that older lady who was the taxi driver, I don’t think I would’ve been real comfortable having her as my driver. 😳 🚕
Yerra, you'd be grand unless you were in a hurry. She probably drove at 2 miles an hour....
The only thing about the ' colorized' is that it really lacks the true colors. It's ok I guess but not the same. Loved the show b&w. Anyway I can see it! Lol.
No smart remarks on Belly? Wasnt it rare to get a woman taxi driver?
If you put a helmet on Sal he looks like Aaron Rogers.
Even though it is colorized, it is still a study in white and dark ish hues. Is this how people dressed in the 1950s?
It was a black tie show
Iconic Panel.
Was that really color in 1956? I was barely 10 then and don’t recall color televisions then.
Maglie looks like he’s 52.
Dorothy kilgallen " could a man wear this."
Current woke Progressive: yes
In case you like that sort of thing: I just uploaded another colorized episode that I also interpolated to 60fps and I intend to do more (What's my line or even movies) once I figure out how to do colorisation myself.
Another great episode, but a very weak example of colorizing.
Arlene Francis is pretty but wow Ann Miller is so hot
She’s not from Missourah but Misery!
Se for para fazer esta coloração horrorosa, melhor nem fazer
I don’t know or never knew who Sal was!
I know nothing or care about sports.
This is the first time ever that I've seen this game show in color mode
Colorized? Two shades of sepia?
Arlene gorgeous Francis mmmmm lolx 😀❤😀
Not a great colorization job.
I agree. It's strange looking and distracting.
It perfectly suits the era.
@@cjb8010 No. This era deserves the *best* colorization available.
A few booster cushions needed …
Doesn't look good because it's poorly colorized
"colorized"...or gone from black and white to sepia
John said too much in the Maternity designer segment.
Sal Maglie resembles Aaron Rodgers a bit.
I prefer B/W
I prefer B/D.
- Spanks anyway.
Maternity clothing for many years was horrible!
What in the heck is Arlene got on?
CLOTHES !!!!!
Bin liner.
Maternity clothes are not amusing and John said way too much in this episode. Sometimes he needed to keep his mouth shut.
Take your own advice.
Shut your trap.
@@TheBatugan77 He did day too much at times. Obvious. And stretched the truth unfortunately confusing the participants.
Stop colorizing black and white. They look better in their original monochrome.
Don't tell people what to do.
Fck do you think YOU are?
Instead of black and white, it's brown, black, and white. Colorized?
Of course it is and not the best job. But it still helps to imagine what it could have been like at the time. No real colour version of the original series exists.
