Bobby Darin's exceptionally high IQ was higher than that of Einstein.... Bobby has a very sharp wit, very charismatic and sexy too.... Loved watching this again, thanks for post.
The original "Password" was not a 'dumb show,' nor lowest common denominator programming. As an elementary school student, I found the show highly entertaining, and learned much vocabulary, plus quick critical thinking, in the process.
It was an excellent show watching this video( excellent video) & very surprised it has not been brought back, actually! It definitely was an intelligent game show, expanding your vocabulary! Loved watching this! UTube is the best, bringing us exceptional programs, people, movies & music that would be list forever. If not for this amazing site/blog!❤️
Mom was somewhat of a high strung person. I was in my early teens in the 60s. She loved Password and Alan Luden. When she plopped down in her easy chair and turned on Password, I knew she would soon be in a good mood the rest of the day. Alan served as my barometer. Today I enjoy Password reruns and find pleasure in allowing these celebrity guests into my living room.
He was! So sad he died so young. He & Sandra Dee made such a adorable looking couple too. Bobby is just so handsome though, you are so right & witty( funny)!
@@agataf1320 Yes, I know and I'm not disputing that he had a high IQ at all. The man was brilliant! What I posted was that one can't conclude he has any higher IQ from the other contestants just by watching the show. Because he participates no differently than the other contestants, For all I know, some of them may have just as high an IQ. But we already know Bobby has a high IQ. You yourself show that by referencing his high numbers which are already publicly known obviously. That was the point I was trying to make to the original post.
@@39thala Certainly I agree with you, you cannot determine in advance who has a high IQ just by watching the show. Mine was just a clarification, his high IQ is not deduced from the broadcast but all his brilliant work as a musician, composer etc ... in addition to the fact that he was a skilled chess player.
I so loved Bobby Darin( my mom adored him & had all the movie magazines on both him& Sandra). I was a little girl but remember how handsome I thought he was. I remember the name Rosemary Clooney but unfortunately being so young, I don’t remember anything about her but I know she was a big star back then. This show Password & Perry Mason were my beloved Nana’s favorite shows! She never missed them & I can still picture her, sitting on the edge of the sofa, leaning as much as she could towards the TV set, yelling the answer to the clues!🤣🤣🤣Nama would be so funny, repeatedly yelling at the TV set the “answer to the clue” being given in tv, as if the contestants could hear her & use Nana’s clue/answer! I miss her so much! My dear mom( in heaven with Nana, sadly) loved this show to & all game shows! I could have cared less ha! for I was a little girl but watching this great video, this was a fun & interesting show! I love Bobby Darin so much( what a thrill for these two people coming on the show to get Bobby Darin as their partner! He is so intelligent too! Love both Bobby & Rosemary on this show!❤️
Rosemary Clooney had divorced José Ferrer in 1961 and would re-marry him in 1964. Ferrer directed Bobby Darin in the 1962 movie State Fair. Blessings from San Juan PR !!!
He seems politely attentive to me. The secretary seemed quite distracted by Bobby's charms when he was providing clues, she wasn't responsive at all. Starstruck.
I thought he was very composed & thoughtful, to tell you the truth, not distracted at all.After all Bobby Darin has been with some pretty big name stars ⭐️ in Hollywood, later on married Sandra Dee so I don’t believe, as sweet as the stewardess & other women were, it took any of his attention or concentration away 😂ha! but “that’s just me!” Now, on the other hand...”I BELIEVE THE SECRETARY WAS DUMBSTRUCK HA! & OTHER CONTESTANTS WERE AWESTRUCK HAVING BOBBY DARIN FOR THEIR PARTNER. I mean, who can blame them??? lol! 😆I know I sure would be,having BOBBY sitting only a mere few inches from me!😂The secretary seemed awestruck & kind of staring blankly at times. She probably couldn’t believe her good fortune, getting BOBBY DARIN AS HER PARTNER! I would be sitting there amazed at my good fortune too! What a great video this is & I so appreciate UTUBE FOR THE CONSISTENT, EXTRAORDINARY JOB THEY UNFAILINGLY DO WITH ALL THEIR VIDEOS!
poetcomic1 A NICE LOOKING MALE “PERIOD”......is a “HANDSOME MALE”🤣but being a musician, vocalist , actor & “person” just adds to his charm( & distraction!😆)! Just love him on this show!
@@karenstrycharz1499 As a guy I admire Bobby's courage living every day from his teens on with the certain knowledge that any day his damaged heart could give out. THAT is 'beautiful'.
Yes he was! She has said many times, she never remarried for he was her one “true love/soul mate” & she could never find another like him. She never remarried after his death either. Dated yrs later but never married or moved in with anyone. Betty White is an extraordinary woman too!❤️
Good question. I've not seen any film of them, but they'd have done well together, for sure. I'm also wondering, did Bobby ever get to duet with Bing??
English is not my mother tongue, so I cannot tell: does Bobby have any speech defect or idiosyncrasy that makes him difficult to understand? Or is it the girl who cannot hear very well?
Thanks, Catherine. Even though the US are so huge, and so many different accents exist there, I didn't think Mr. Darin had a thick accent. I can understand him pretty well (but I DID understand 'stream' the second time he said it).
Bobby did have some unclear pronounciations, outside of the Bronx. He indicated here (twice), that the "d" on the end of "closed" was difficult for him to make heard. I notice in live performances that he "lithpths" (lisps) sometimes on words that end in s, as well. I had the same problem as a kid, and always hear it in others. When he performs, if you watch/listen carefully, you can tell he's working very consciously at annunciating.
Thanks a lot for explaining that! I'll pay attention to that lisp of his (though my ear is not good, now that I know what to look for I may notice it). Do you think that "d" on "closed" is a problem of his, or is it just the Bronx accent? I've often read that Bobby spoke (sang) very clearly, and it's probably because, as you say, he was trying very consciously to do so. I'm somewhat mystified at the almost violent way in which he pronounces his p's (something I notice more on watching him singing than on hearing him). I don't know whether he did this all his life, since all instances I seem to remember are from the seventies, but if you look up him singing "Simple Song of Freedom" you'll see what I mean ("we the PeoPle here don't want a war").
I haven't seen too many episodes, but it seems like it's always the male guest star (not the female guest star) who says, "We're all here to say 'Password.'"

This was the best 24 minutes of my life. Bobby Darin and Rosmary clooney😍
Bobby's reaction at being called cute was actually adorable
He was adorable. I loved when he kissed his partner contestant.

Einstein's IQ actually wasn't that off-the-wall high. I think I read it was 160 or 165. Certainly genius level, but not 175+ like one might expect.
And he had a heart problem all his life from his early youth and knew he could die at any time.
It is a fabulous video & site! So loved this!❤️
Thanks, James Power. This is a treat! Never enough BD, and any chance to return to the MUCH BETTER CENTURY.

This is why I have real trouble playing this game with today's students. :( Very unfortunatel
I just HAD to have my fill of 'Password', and wish they would bring this back.

Bobby is smart, sexy, talented and personable. The complete package. :)

Bobby is so smart!!! You can tell that he had a very high IQ.
No, you just already knew that he had a high IQ. In this show, he plays the game no smarter than the rest of the contestants.
@@39thala Darin had a high IQ in fact he was a member of the Mensa, which counts people with an IQ from 143 onwards, only 2% of the population.

Look how bobby kisses his play partner so MUCH of a gentleman
I like Bobby Darin's reaction on the CUTE portion
Love this ❤️
Bobby’s fast and smart and so is Rosemary 👍🏻
Darin was really upset for not getting the Oscar. And should have been.
They gave Bobby Darin a really cute stewardess, alluring private secretary and cute nurse as partners. He seemed a little distracted at times!

Bobby reminds me of Julian Lennon in the early 1980's
I was thinking the other evening how much he similar to John Lennon, Julian Lennon's Father..
The airline stewardess is the best, clearly.
Back then every boy was a gentleman😘🥰
Ain´t that the truth. Men were men. Not like now.
Nonsense
It was nice back then when you were free to react and say what you wanted.
$50 in 1963 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $425.29 in 2020.
Rosemary was very pretty.
And thin!
Exactly what I was thinking. (edit) That's partly because she was only 35 or so at the time.
She is so pretty & smart too. Loved watching her & Bobby!❤️

I wonder if Bob and Rosie ever sang together.
Good question. I've not seen any film of them, but they'd have done well together, for sure. I'm also wondering, did Bobby ever get to duet with Bing??
Were people more innocent or humble in 1963 or does it just appear that way?
It just seemed that way.
No, they were
I though it couldn't be proper names. Coburn shouldn't have been allowed as a clue.
Proper names can be used as a clue. But proper names are never passwords.
English is not my mother tongue, so I cannot tell: does Bobby have any speech defect or idiosyncrasy that makes him difficult to understand? Or is it the girl who cannot hear very well?
different accents in USA. Darin sounds like he has a very hip New York accent. Don't quote me on it.

Maybe I’ve been sitting home in quarantine all this time, but they seem to be sitting awfully close together.
4:39 she cheated with her facial expression
Wow! I remember “stewardesses”. They were wonderful. And Bobby called her lovely, which she is. Today he be called a sexist. I sure miss that time.
The password was Tony Thomas the last thing that would expect!
