I just love watching these shows. I was born in the 1980's but yet feel like I should have grown up in this era. :( Such class. Love, love , love whats my line!
She is a nice person. I provided a service for her years ago. I was thrilled and extremely nervous at first. She said “I’m Nancy.” I quickly stopped myself before I could say one of my earliest memories was the popularity of her first big hit when I was 3. The gentleman accompanying her gave me a $50 bill which I kept for years.
I saw Nancy Sinatra last year. Believe it or not she performed at a Bob Dylan concert singing "These Boots are made for Walking". Proof that truth is often stranger than fiction.
At this point in her singing career Nancy was in full gear and turned out some very memorable tunes (many written by the now-deceased, lee Hazelwood -- R.I.P.). Nancy was both ear and eye candy for the late Sixties.
I like the way Arlene Francis stood up to shake hands with the first contestant. As a woman, she wasn't required to stand to shake hands with a man, but I'm certain she stood to pay respect to an elderly man. I've seen her do that before when the contestant has been a member of the clergy or a nun. Arlene was always what Johnny Carson referred to as "a class act". That's one reason she could get away with the occasional remark that was slightly risqué. (The other reason was that her slightly racy remarks were always quite funny and made people laugh -- which made all the difference.) Arlene was just the best -- and it was always a pleasure when Martin Gabel was a guest panelist because, then, Arlene could engage in good-natured humor involving Martin. That, and it was and is a pleasure to note how much they enjoyed being married to each other.
Spot on. I concur with all you say. Also that is the first time i have heard her say the correct way 'at my left' and not on my left, which i note in one episode it came up for debate which was the correct way. Very smart woman.
@@jacquelinebell6201 …..yes..,yes….question: not sure if you watch “ To tell the Truth “. ..doesn’t Arlene Francis on this show sounds and looks like “Kitty Carlisle on the current show called “To Tell the Truth”….different dress up though….hmmm
That is such a great shot at the end: the rose company owner giving an Arlene Francis to a pleased and radiant Arlene Francis. It is times like that that I wish the program had gone to color earlier. It would have looked good with Arlene in a dash of red lipstick wearing that arrow dress, whatever color it is, and her and the yellow rose.
Many years ago, I visited a Science Institute, (& later worked at the campus) where one of the featured attractions was called, 'The Bat Zone' which purpose was to enlighten folk primarily about bats but did harbor a few other creatures such as a sloth and a hootie owl rescued after one of its wings was damaged to the point it could never fly again, (he was so neat as his head would follow one round almost a complete 360). Anyway, the bat keeper would give presentations extolling bats and their variations. One of his finales was instructing this impressively sized African fruit bat to walk over to his cage and shut himself in. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes.😳😃

Thanks for pointing it out... I hope my name has not been put on somebody"s else's comment.l don't know if that could happen!!!
Lubowski must be one of those beautiful contestants appeared on WML.. I'm surprised to see Neither Bennett or Gabel made any comments on her exceptionally beautiful looks!!
I wonder why Nancy Sinatra having had a hit song in the 1960's and being the daughter of a famous father did not stay current and kind of drifted away in obscurity while one of her contemporaries, singer Cher who also started in the 1960's is still out there today at the tender age of 74.
The first contestant was born in 1878. He got to experience the invention of things we use in the present day: airplanes, radio, television, computers.......
THE OLDER YOU GET THE EARS GET BIGGER. First guest . P.S. Nancy did well singing with Lee Hazelwood, and her father;"SOMETHING STUPID" & ''THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKING'' Also In an Elvis movie. As of 2020 she is now 80. She sang the theme music of Bond movie.
Those WML names defined in full (continued) Daly - (i) An extremely verbose fellow. (ii) Mildly creepy, especially around beautiful young women (iii) A corn merchant.
Changes are coming to CBS on Sunday. Perry Mason ended it's 9 year run on May 22, 1966, with a final episode in color. In the fall Gary Moore would return to primetime after a two year hiatus with the final version of his variety show (sadly it lasted only 5 month and was replaced by the Smothers Brothers). I don't know what served as the summer replacement between the end of PM and the start of GM. CBS as the other two networks, went to a full color primetime schedule in the fall of 1966. NBC was almost there with a 98% colorcasting sched in 1965-66.
According to Wikipedia there was no summer replacement in the time slot when Perry Mason ended its 9 year run and the beginning of the New Garry Moore Show. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1965%E2%80%9366_United_States_network_television_schedule
I absolutely love John Charles Daly. He deftly says to Nancy Sinatra: “Always carry our thanks for coming and spending some time on What’s My Line.” I wish I had half the grace he had.
And every once in a while, the superimposed text that tells you what the person's line is includes a bit of illustration - like little pictures of bats.
PhilBagels I genuinely think they drew the bats to distinguish that type of bat from a baseball bat....for the less cerebrally provisioned American viewers out there.
Hot time, "Summer in the City" was a big and their only #1 hit (Aug. 13 for 3 weeks), by John Sebastian, and The Lovin' Spoonful (released on July 4), in that wonderful Summer of 1966. I watched WML? from mid-1965 to when it ended on Sep. 3, 1967.
Had to be the sixties with Suzy big bouffant do. I wore then too. Just not that high Crazy hairdos. The bee hive later was even worse. I wire that too once
Bennett obviously opened the door to guessing Nancy Sinatra with his question about a well-known father; however, Suzy snubbed Bennett and claimed the win all for herself, saying she was “going for broke.” There was a tradition amongst the panelists to always give credit and thanks to any fellow panelist who paves the way for the correct guess. Alas, Suzy never got the memo.
Recorded on May 22, 1966, along with the next episode. It's all glitchy at Johnny Olson's intro, because it was originally on videotape. There's also what appears to be a jump cut at Bennett's intro. I can't tell if it is like that on all existing versions or not.
Is it in the Gil Fates book as to why WML stayed live in an era when almost everything at night was taped or filmed and had been for some years. Other than Ed Sullivan and "Line" was there any live regularly scheduled entertainment programming on any of the networks past 1963 or so abouts? By the way, I'm glad they did stay live. But would it have mattered to the public at this point?
I thought it was neat that even though ir seemed apparent that Arlene pretty much figured out the mystery guest, thanks to Bennett's question.. she and Martin both kind of threw it off, seemingly to let him name the name. (Until Suzie jumped in and stole it! 😜)
I wish I was paying more attention in those days. I came across Jackson recently lovbed it. and I think as tears go by, her voice was remarkable the music sucked. Late 80's there was a all girl band name the Nancy Sinatras around Toronto bars/clubs they had a great live sound. Cheers
Just heard the original version of these boots. Man Nancy Sinatra would have been famous by any name but if you got it, you got it! Also, a rose by any other name wouldn’t be an Arlene Francis Rose!
yeah absolutely I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless.. I miss her everyday. Mothers are the glue that holds everyone together. seeing this makes me miss her even more 🥺
I'm not sure what to make of the fringe on Suzy's gown. 6:14 -- for those west of the Hudson, the director provides a title identifying her and what she does. I wish they had done this with Sue Oakland.
I looked online, and Audubon Raceway in Henderson, KY (across the Ohio river from Evansville, IN), ceased to operate in the early 2000's after a checkered financial history. There is a nearby thoroughbred track that was more popular than the harness racing track.

I agree with some comments that Arlene's dress looked like a nightwear robe when she came out on camera. But I can imagine the Internet buzz today. Did you see the up arrows first or the down arrows or both? (I saw the down arrows.)
The first contestant is adorable. Harness or trotter racing always seems to throw the panel, which apparently thinks that racing means the jockeys actually.sitting right down on the actual horse. That episode that featured Adolph Monjou and Greer Garson in 1957 had a trotter racer contestant with a huge beard; and they got nowhere with him.
And the next thing you know, Your son is playing for money In a pinch-back suit, And listening to some big out of town Jasper, Hearing him tell about horse-race gambling. Not a wholesome trotting race, no, But a race where they set down right on the horse! Like to see some stuck-up jockey-boy Sitting on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil? Well, I should say. --Meredith Willson in "The Music Man"
People did seem to be much more formal (verbally) back in the days, there's not much slang being tossed around here. Things has changed so much it's almost foreign.
GZA There was PLENTY of slang everywhere although television networks (and indeed certainly the BBC here in the UK) kept things very 'down the middle' and 'one size fits all' language-wise. For some reason they seemed to think the public couldn't cope with how real people spoke. It makes for elegant and quaint viewing now but frankly I think it's one of the biggest mistakes made by mainstream media of those decades. I lived through it and thought it very weird even then!!
I know right, people just had class! And they are smarter too...big proponents of books and reading back then. Now the kids don’t get books in reading, math, science, and social! We are currently dumbing people down. Sad
I don't know anything about it, but my first reaction to it was that it looked like some type of robe or dressing gown -- not nearly as elegant as Arlene's usual style. I thought it looked like an attractive blouse when she was sitting down, but I didn't think the cut, style and fit of it, seen in full length (00:53), flattered Arlene at all. I'm actually glad to know you liked it, though, as I would guess that means that probably others did too, so perhaps it was not a source of embarrassment for Arlene, regardless of my opinion. :)
SaveThe TPC I was JUST about to make a comment about the dress which echoed yours almost exactly. The fit and cut wasn't flattering, and her choice of multiple necklaces was too busy with that bold print, IMO. (Also, the dark shoes with what looks like a light colored dress stood out too much for my taste.) Arlene got it right much more often than she got it wrong, so I give her a pass on this. ;)
If you've seen Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill Vol. 1", like I have, chances are you've heard the opening song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", from Nancy's second album, "How Does That Grab You?". I mean, listen to how haunting and beautiful it is. Only like one or two instruments on the track, and Nancy's vocals. ruclips.net/video/qgDrpWWxuto/видео.html
Much slower and more eerie than Cher's more famous version of this song. Cher's version also fits in with the gypsy image she was sometimes associated with. Not having seen the movie I don't know why Nancy Sinatra's version would have been chosen. Did it fit the tone of the movie better or was it for financial reasons (Cher and/or the publishing company) wanted more money for the rights to use it. ruclips.net/video/x2mBCVejzSM/видео.html
@@rmelin13231 No, until this century all the major recordings were by men. Tony Bennett, John Coltrane, Ray Charles, Cannonball Adderley. Nancy could have changed the lyrics to "Bessie with the Laughing Face" - the original name before Phil changed it before giving it to Frank.
I hate to say it, but there just some people on tv who you thought might drop dead at any moment. Kudos to Mr. Mullen (the first contestant) for staying upright for the whole segment!
Joe Postove Since this episode was pretaped, had something like that actually happened, I'm sure they would have shelved it, like they did with the episode of "The Dick Cavett Show", where Dick interviewed J.I. Rodale, Rodale dies, and Cavett, unaware he died, asks him "Are we boring you, Mr. Rodale?".
***** Do you think they would have shelved the whole show or just his segment? It would have been quite unsettling so I can see how they would have closed for the night. My God, what if something had happened on a live show? Were they prepared to put on something bedsides a "technical difficulties" sign?
Re the bat woman who raises bats for research: Arlene Francis: "Does it have 4 legs?" Contestant: "Yes." What??? Bats do not have 4 legs. They have 2 legs and 2 wings.
After the “bat girl” signed in John Daly asked her - in routine I guess - whether she was Ms. or Mrs. and she said Mrs. In the interview after her performance he said that her husband was a dentist-to-be if I remember well. So John knew already in the beginning that he should call her Mrs. ....
Psst. He also knows their name, occupation, and where they're from before they reveal it. The questions are for the audience's and panelist's benefit, not his. You dim-witted twat.
@@martinvanr.545 Just a low tolerance for idiocy. If you can't think things through before hitting "Reply" you shouldn't be writing anything to begin with.
Suzy is so perky and smart.. She would have been a great permanent panelist. My Nancy Sinatra records later became CDs and in 2022 I am still.playing them.
Things got a bit muddled here. The host said bats are not rodents, they are mammals. Rodents ARE mammals. Bats are mammals but are not rodents. Therefore saying "they are not rodents, they are mammals" is technically true but doesn't follow logically since rodents = mammals. .
I just watched the part of the episode I skipped last night, the second contestant. I had all kinds of respect for John Charles Daly! Fingernails on a chalkboard, It is not the University of Indiana, it is Indiana University! The medical center is still there and getting bigger and bigger!

That was all part of her ventriloquist act, with her favourite dummy.

Arlene looks genuinely moved when the final contestant's line is revealed, and especially when he presents her with her namesake rose.
So fortunate to grow up in the 50's. Remembering this show brings back fond memories of the era! Arlene Frances was one of a kind! Loved by all!

Since always. Did you even research it before asking? They have 4 "limbs"
@@broughtbackin How many 'LEGS' do YOU have?...How many 'LIMBS' do YOU have?.....:>)
@@largemember Lol animals are different.
The panel could not believe that this old guy was actually a jockey, of sorts!
Almost 88 years old and he had a good hearing for that age.
Johan Bengtsson Yes, Johan, I noticed that. He barely turned to John for a repeat of the question like so many younger patients do.
Joe Postove It puzzles me that John, who sat further away from the panel, always heard what was said whereas the contestants did not.
+Johan Bengtsson With ears as big as his, I suspect he rarely misses a word from anyone. ;)
I agree with some comments that Arlene's dress looked like a nightwear robe when she came out on camera. But I can imagine the Internet buzz today. Did you see the up arrows first or the down arrows or both? (I saw the down arrows.)
There were down arrows? :)
Martin Gabel is the bees.
He is the dummy in Arlene’s ventriloquist act. Offstage, it’s the suitcase for him.
@@LANCSKID No, the only dummy is you.
Bats have two legs, not four.
Nancy Sinatra was gorgeous here...
So cute the Arlene Francis rose. Too bad that segment was rushed.
Several people have commented that Nancy didn't try to disguise her voice.
Perhaps because we only knew her through her singing voice...?
The first contestant is adorable. Harness or trotter racing always seems to throw the panel, which apparently thinks that racing means the jockeys actually.sitting right down on the actual horse. That episode that featured Adolph Monjou and Greer Garson in 1957 had a trotter racer contestant with a huge beard; and they got nowhere with him.
The first contestants ears were huge.
druidbros Truly huge. Yes. I couldn't stop noticing it.
druidbros
The ears never stop growing.
MillionthUsername Nature has a sadistic sense of humor.
And the next thing you know,
Your son is playing for money
In a pinch-back suit,
And listening to some big out of town Jasper,
Hearing him tell about horse-race gambling.
Not a wholesome trotting race, no,
But a race where they set down right on the horse!
Like to see some stuck-up jockey-boy
Sitting on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil?
Well, I should say.
--Meredith Willson in "The Music Man"
Wow - 1966 - I love the full, beautiful hair from that era.
People did seem to be much more formal (verbally) back in the days, there's not much slang being tossed around here. Things has changed so much it's almost foreign.
GZA There was PLENTY of slang everywhere although television networks (and indeed certainly the BBC here in the UK) kept things very 'down the middle' and 'one size fits all' language-wise. For some reason they seemed to think the public couldn't cope with how real people spoke. It makes for elegant and quaint viewing now but frankly I think it's one of the biggest mistakes made by mainstream media of those decades. I lived through it and thought it very weird even then!!
it's called decorum , it does not exsist anymore
I know right, people just had class! And they are smarter too...big proponents of books and reading back then. Now the kids don’t get books in reading, math, science, and social! We are currently dumbing people down. Sad
This is Martin's first appearance in a while isn't it?
Joe Postove Yes, it is. He was last seen on the February 20, 1966 episode.
Nice to see that he got rid of the long hairstyle he wore as professor Moriarty.
Johan Bengtsson Agreed! I think he looked very good last night, even with the weight loss. Maybe the hair redo helped.
Joe Postove
I was just about to comment on Marty's appearance, too. He looks very good. The hair definitely is a plus.
Yeah he rowed with Arlene on the last episode which might have had something to do with his prolonged absence
John was friends with Frank Sinatra? Kind of hard to picture him hanging with the Rat Pack...
R.D. Dragon Well he knew about LSD before The Beatles did.
The Twat Pack.
OK. who knows about Arlene's arrow gown because I like it a lot.
I don't know anything about it, but my first reaction to it was that it looked like some type of robe or dressing gown -- not nearly as elegant as Arlene's usual style. I thought it looked like an attractive blouse when she was sitting down, but I didn't think the cut, style and fit of it, seen in full length (00:53), flattered Arlene at all. I'm actually glad to know you liked it, though, as I would guess that means that probably others did too, so perhaps it was not a source of embarrassment for Arlene, regardless of my opinion. :)
SaveThe TPC I was JUST about to make a comment about the dress which echoed yours almost exactly. The fit and cut wasn't flattering, and her choice of multiple necklaces was too busy with that bold print, IMO. (Also, the dark shoes with what looks like a light colored dress stood out too much for my taste.) Arlene got it right much more often than she got it wrong, so I give her a pass on this. ;)
I liked it too. The arrow pattern is neat. I can't really comment on the "fit and cut" as Todd says, but I liked the pattern of the fabric.
Anybody know about its color? Somehow. I have green in my head.
If you've seen Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill Vol. 1", like I have, chances are you've heard the opening song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", from Nancy's second album, "How Does That Grab You?". I mean, listen to how haunting and beautiful it is. Only like one or two instruments on the track, and Nancy's vocals.

Much slower and more eerie than Cher's more famous version of this song. Cher's version also fits in with the gypsy image she was sometimes associated with.
Not having seen the movie I don't know why Nancy Sinatra's version would have been chosen. Did it fit the tone of the movie better or was it for financial reasons (Cher and/or the publishing company) wanted more money for the rights to use it.

Sweet Rose !
With plenty of manure.
I still consider that the very best Nancy Sinatra song was written by Phil Silvers.
Although never recorded by Nancy?
@@rmelin13231 No, until this century all the major recordings were by men. Tony Bennett, John Coltrane, Ray Charles, Cannonball Adderley. Nancy could have changed the lyrics to "Bessie with the Laughing Face" - the original name before Phil changed it before giving it to Frank.
I hate to say it, but there just some people on tv who you thought might drop dead at any moment. Kudos to Mr. Mullen (the first contestant) for staying upright for the whole segment!
Joe Postove Since this episode was pretaped, had something like that actually happened, I'm sure they would have shelved it, like they did with the episode of "The Dick Cavett Show", where Dick interviewed J.I. Rodale, Rodale dies, and Cavett, unaware he died, asks him "Are we boring you, Mr. Rodale?".
***** Do you think they would have shelved the whole show or just his segment? It would have been quite unsettling so I can see how they would have closed for the night. My God, what if something had happened on a live show? Were they prepared to put on something bedsides a "technical difficulties" sign?
***** About the Cavett incident; very tragic but also, I must admit, a bit droll. :/
Joe Postove Not sure.
He always won a race with a tail wind. He was raised by elephants.
Is Claude still alive? Anyone know.
MiketheYung God Yes. He still lives at a rest home in Florida.
Yeah..he just got married for the 5th time.
This was my great great grandfather Claud. He passed away in 1971
She was the inspiration for Deborah Harry of Blondies hair.
@Reyna Herichan: I agree! She was well spoken.
Were any of the Sinatras guests prior to the death of Dorothy Kilgallen in 1965, since she and Frank hated each other?
Re the bat woman who raises bats for research:
Arlene Francis: "Does it have 4 legs?"
Contestant: "Yes."
What??? Bats do not have 4 legs. They have 2 legs and 2 wings.
Their wings also function as legs/hands.
The wings aren't legs but ARE arms and hands with skin stretched between them.
@@mathewfullerton8577 Think coronavirus.. eww
@@DocFunkenstein If they don't walk on them, they're not legs.
@@kentetalman9008 Your point? Cause bats do use their wings to walk, too.
💖 Nancy & Lee
After the “bat girl” signed in John Daly asked her - in routine I guess - whether she was Ms. or Mrs. and she said Mrs.
In the interview after her performance he said that her husband was a dentist-to-be if I remember well.
So John knew already in the beginning that he should call her Mrs. ....
Psst. He also knows their name, occupation, and where they're from before they reveal it. The questions are for the audience's and panelist's benefit, not his. You dim-witted twat.
Funkenstein
Good Point, Firestone. But what’s the use of calling me names?
@@martinvanr.545
Just a low tolerance for idiocy. If you can't think things through before hitting "Reply" you shouldn't be writing anything to begin with.
Funkenstein
@ Funkenstein. And I am allergic to smartasses.
@@martinvanr.545
I'd much rather be a smartass than an ignorant twat. So that works out.
Where's Dorothy?
Sadly, deceased.
Are you new here? She died on November 8, 1965.
"Raises bats for research"?
Did she ever works at Labs in Wuhan?
A bat is in the rodent family ignorance rules☮️
Suzy is so perky and smart.. She would have been a great permanent panelist. My Nancy Sinatra records later became CDs and in 2022 I am still.playing them.
The ears on Mr. Mullen are extraordinary. Surprised Cerf didn't know bats were a mammal.
Things got a bit muddled here. The host said bats are not rodents, they are mammals. Rodents ARE mammals. Bats are mammals but are not rodents. Therefore saying "they are not rodents, they are mammals" is technically true but doesn't follow logically since rodents = mammals. .
Excellent video, babe!
Oh God she was so cute! ♥
I just watched the part of the episode I skipped last night, the second contestant. I had all kinds of respect for John Charles Daly! Fingernails on a chalkboard, It is not the University of Indiana, it is Indiana University! The medical center is still there and getting bigger and bigger!
