All the little intangible elements of WML, from the formalities to the panel’s chemistry to the outstanding contestant research made the game great. Mark Goodson spoke of these qualities as textures and thicknesses.
Watching these shows in order makes me feel like a part of the group. John and the panelists are, if not friends, close acquaintances with whom I have developed a bond. While that makes the show all the more enjoyable to watch, it has its downside too. This episode and the next few are tinged with a certain sadness, knowing that Fred is near the end of his life. When Fred replaced Steve, I was disappointed because Steve was my favorite panelist. The first few episodes with Fred seemed to confirm that the show had lost some of its luster. But as Fred settled into his role, his tremendous wit shone more and more. By this point, I don't particularly miss Steve; Fred is marvelous. When he is gone, the show will indeed have lost something valuable, and even more, I will have lost someone who has grown close to me.
I've been watching these WML shows in order and Fred Allen has really grown on me--I love his low-key approach. He's never "in your face"; he tosses out hilarious remarks effortlessly, in a stream of consciousness manner. I feel he added a great deal to WML, to put it mildly. I know (from reading all the comments) that he wasn't long for this world, unfortunately :(
Fred Allen was absolutely wonderful on radio, but bombed on TV. Something about him in person isn't likeable. If you like Fred Allen here, look up and listen to his OTR (old time radio) show. You'll love that.
@@El_Ophelia You must be crass and stupid. Your comment pretty much proves it. Portland remarried in 1959, was married for 25 years, but chose to be buried with Fred Allen, enough said!!
It's interesting figuring out the time frame when watching all these episodes of "What's My Line?" I hadn't thought about it until the humorous question was asked of the Monegasque consulate "Are you going to kiss the bride?" But, of course, later in 1956, Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier of Monaco. The necessary civil ceremony took place on April 18, 1956, followed by the religious rite the following day on April 19, 1956. Same rules as in France -- only civil marriages are legal and religious matrimonial rites are optional and of no legal force or effect. So the famous marriage happened a little less than three months after the date of the broadcast of this episode of WML.
For those of us having a hard time hearing this video, just open the stream in VLC Player and the volume will be boosted a great deal. It takes a moment for it to process before it plays, but it's a perfect solution.
The Lodge family was the political dynasty in Massachusetts that was succeeded by the Kennedy family. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr, holds the record for serving the longest (7½ years) as the U.S. Ambassador to the UN. About three years after the 1960 Presidential election, he.was appointed as Ambassador to South Vietnam by President Kennedy, not exactly the cushiest job in the world at the time. He served in that role two separate times and was later Ambassador at Large and Ambassador to West Germany.
1:00 In her introduction of Fred, Dorothy mentions that they are in the Mansifield Theatre. It is now called Brooks Atkinson Theatre and is located at 256 West 47th Street Manhattan. brooksatkinsontheater.com/
I have always thought it terribly ironic that on this episode Fred Allen says, "I am extinct and my friends think I look extinct on TV." While in less than one month from the date of this show Fred would be taken from this world!
From the moment I saw him I thought that he looked too old and unwell for his age. He was only 61 but looked at least 80. As if he had some early ageing related syndrome.
@@eldiputacio7753 The life expectancy for someone born in 1895 was only about 45. And even though it had increased quite a bit by 1955 most people back then not only lived shorter lives than today but also looked older than someone today would generally speaking.
@@danaturnmire3835 need to be careful about these sorts of averages, as they include infant mortality. If you made it to five years old, you were likely to live to be 65 in those days. If you lived to be 20 you were likely to live into your 70s. So it's not strictly true that people lived shorter lives, depending on what age you start counting from.
Our society has been increasingly obsessed with "looking young" over the past few decades. Countless products crowd the shelves promising to erase years from faces and bodies. No longer are we proud of the lengths of our lives, the experiences we've had. All of that to say, people back in those days didn't slather, inject, massage substances into their faces and bodies to the degree we do in current times. They seemed to accept what Time did to them. We fight it tooth and nail and credit card!
Fred admitted in his memoir that he had seriously high blood pressure, and at that time they didn't have many of the modern drugs that help control it.
Bardstown KY is home to a number of distilleries, hosts the annual Kentucky Bourbon Festival and is the trademarked official Bourbon Capital of the World. Other than Fred Allen's quip that he had an uncle who operated a still in that area, none of the questions directed at the second challenger related to that industry. The very first question elicited the information that there was no product involved.
What is ironic is that Lodge was our Ambassador to the UN and his father fought the League of Nations tooth and nail and prevented US ratification of the Treaty of Versailles.
Arlene said a lot of risqué things over the years. She knew what she said. Too bad today’s “talent” can’t figure out strong and sexy. No Botox, no tattoos and a level of class nobody in Hollywood even understands now. She’s about 50 in this episode. Wow.
My pleasure! I'm curious, if you can fill me in, when the American WML was shown in Australia. Do you mean contemporaneously to the original series, or within the past 10-20 years?
What's My Line? TV didn't start in Australia offically till 1956 and I don't know exact dates but we would have had reruns well US reruns first runs here in the 1970's Our government didnt want to introduce colour television thinking it would kill off cinema so we didn't get colour till 1976-77 I think so I'm sure we must have got the 1960's series of WML during that time. Sorry I don't have dates but I can try and find out. An Australian version hosted by John Barnes debuted on station TCN-9 in 1956 during the opening week of Australian television and ran until 1958. It was replaced by a long-running version of To Tell the Truth. Much of the early days of Aust tv is lost due to the habit of wiping

I've been trying to understand the motives for the preservation of the kinescopes in the first place, and I'd like to be able to confirm that the series was never run overseas while it was still in its original run in the U.S. (meaning that overseas reruns were an afterthought, not something that was seriously considered when the decision to preserve the films was made). Thanks very much for taking the time to reply!
Reminds me of the Frankie Goes to Hollywood scratch video for 'Two Tribes', with Nixon saying 'Henry Cabot Lodge and I keep the peace- keep the peace.'
Sometimes i think its funny when they disqualify themselves for knowing what the line is or who the person is. Isnt finding out the line the piont of the show? I guess it might me about the run time and entertainment.

In 1960, Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. was Richard M. Nixon's running mate on the Republican ticket for the White House. Of course, John F. Kennedy won the election with Lyndon B. Johnson as his running mate. Mr. Lodge resigned as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations in 1960 to run for Vice President.
Nixon made a poor choice here. He wasn't going to carry Mass. He wasn't going to counter JFK's politically savvy selection of LBJ. He wasn't going to make the election about foreign policy. Had he persuaded Nelson "I never wanted to be Vice President of anything" Rockefeller or someone from the many swing states (not only was the national race very close that year but so were an enormous number of individual states), he might well have won the election.

I like how it evolved into a " nice to meet you" walk, with hellos and handshakes. The guests, tho nervous, looked like they wanted to "meet" the panel, all the glamour. Maybe they should have skipped it at the start, but had them walk by and shake hands at the end like the mystery guest. A nice, "we did a good job together " handshake.
Dorothy always ask such convoluted questions that she makes John spend five minutes giving her 6 other clues. Then she says, would you like me to ask another question!!! Grrrrr
Despite hoping to watch AND LISTEN TO this video, I gave up at minute 11:43 because I COULD NOT EASILY OR CLEARLY HEAR IT! Although I am very grateful for the posting of these vintage WML videos, it is all too often difficult to actually hear them. Accordingly, as has happened all too many regrettable times before, bye bye for now - and some while longer to avoid such frustration!
I agree!! He always said something mean to the guest, in some stupid joke. That sweet jailer, he talked about that of course she would have no authority (female) in "the hills back there, the underbrush, things going on.." in Kentucky. 17:26 Really! John is always so polite but I thnk he looked a bit disgusted - or impatient. Fred just blathered on , wanting airtime and ignoring the game. ANd Fred was just stupid at the game. What a waste of a seat. I always loved Tony Randall, such a gentleman, funny, and smart. And Lilly Beans, nice to see someone here from the last year!
Fred was known to be a generous hearted, kind man. He was a comedian and a quick witted one. I never found him creepy in the least and his value and affection with he was held shortly afterwards when he died suddenly. The story gies that he regularly walked with his wife after dinner, taking their regular walk when he collapsed in the street and died before they could get him to hospital. The panel regulars were visibly moved by his loss.
Mike, you probably know what an embassy or consulate is, an official office of one country (Monaco) located in another country (US). The diplomats do things which effect the political, economic, military, cultural relations between the countries and often help their traveling citizens, for example, if their passport is lost, they are arrested or become a victim of crime, become ill or die. The ambassador is the highest ranking in the Embassy, but the number, who often oversees the staff on a day-to-day basis is the Consul General.
Consul General was the equivalent of an ambassador, but there was no formal ambassador from Monaco since Monaco and the US didn't have formal diplomatic relations at the time. Monaco and the US didn't have full relations until 2006.
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. fue un senador republicano de los Estados Unidos por el estado de Massachusetts, y embajador de los Estados Unidos en las Naciones Unidas, Vietnam y la Santa Sede, fue también nombrado por su partido candidato a vicepresidente en las elecciones presidenciales de 1960.

The diplomats do things which effect the political, economic, military, cultural relations between the countries and often help their traveling citizens, for example, if their passport is lost, they are arrested or become a victim of crime, become ill or die. The ambassador is the highest ranking in the Embassy, but the number, who often oversees the staff on a day-to-day basis is the Consul General.
Consul General was the equivalent of an ambassador, but there was no formal ambassador from Monaco since Monaco and the US didn't have formal diplomatic relations at the time. Monaco and the US didn't have full relations until 2006.
Why are people so utterly clueless that they don't appear to know what they actually do?
