This was a treat. We have 16-year-old Tuesday Weld and 59-year-old Agnes Moorehead, both Oscar nominees. Marvin Miller (46 years old here) really had a handle on the "Michael Anthony" character but his acting/narration career spanned four decades, working right up to his death in 1985 at 72 years of age. His early on-screen work in movies were mostly dark, malevolent characters. Thanks for posting this!
Marvin Miller who played the part of Michael Anthony in this series was a well noted announcer of many radio programs prior to the days of television. He had one of those golden voices that worked well on vintage radio shows and he didn't do badly in television either, although in smaller roles such as the one of Michael Anthony in "The Millionaire"..
This was a very popular show during its' entire run, and odd its' last season was in 1960 when still a very popular television show with a very devoted audience.
This is one of the few times I ever recall "our next millionaire" inviting Michael Anthony in, maybe the only time. Seems somebody could have asked him if he'd like a cup of coffee while they went over the details surrounding the signing of the check.
I wish that they would do more shows like this they were simple good stories well written a joy to watch everyone could watch can you say that about the shows today debra jane lerner
I can't imagine a teen of today being as polite and accommodating in this day and age, but teens of any era are often just as impulsive. Today they wouldn't leave a note... I know from personal experience.
I believe this series was inspired by the great feature film “If I Had a Million” which featured several segments of diverse million-dollar-recipients and a fantastic cast including Gary Cooper, Charles Laughton, W. C. Fields, Allison Skipworth, Charlie Ruggles, Mary Boland, May Robson and others. It’s a real treat!
Originally telecast on April 19, 1960. During its final season, "THE MILLIONAIRE" was sponsored on alternate weeks by Colgate-Palmolive.....and The Singer Company (who sustained this episode).
There is a possible discrepancy in the number of episodes in the series. Most sources say that there were 206 episodes, but several online sources (who, admittedly could be mistaken) point to an episode (S03E07-The Denny Havens Story) that was originally broadcast on either 17OCT1956 or 24OCT1956. Checking back on the TV sections of various newspapers of that era, I find that there is indeed an unaccounted for "extra" episode of The Millionaire broadcast then, however none of the TV Schedule sources I've found give specifics about which episode it was. As the rest of the time/dates for episodes ARE accounted for, I am very inclined to believe that that Denny Havens episode DID exist, but has slipped through the cracks. When moved into syndication, 16 episodes were kept back ("removed from syndication") and the Denny Havens episode would make a total of 17 "unavailable" episodes. So, unless there is a change in status, there are 190 episodes available, I have 185 of them.....so far. The 17 REMO(removed) episodes are: S01E02 S02E13 S03E07 S04E09 S05E14 S06E25 S02E26 S03E28 S04E11 S05E21 S06E27 S04E24 S05E24 S06E33 S04E28 S05E33 S04E30
@@bobthetvfan Both Paul Frees, Marvin Miller and many others were staples during the Golden Age of Radio, especially as it neared its end around 1960. Many as noted here worked both on radio and television. I doubt many lost jobs due to the changeover from radio to television. The popular radio shows were left on the doorstep like an unwanted child and the new television executives at the various networks were more interested in the economics of the business as opposed to the art and talent that had been known in radio's "The Theater of the Mind". "Gunsmoke" was the last dramatic radio show to air from Hollywood in June of 1961 (having begun April 26, 1952 with William Conrad, Parley Baer, Howard McNear and Georgia Ellis). Both the radio show and the television version aired conjunctively until 1961, during their long runs, especially the television version.
@@HCHxxiv Another person I think has a terrific speaking voice and could have made a career of just doing narrations is Rowan Atkinson -- but he chose comedy. Same with John Cleese.
If you're a true fan, please check out more of her other roles in "Lord Love A Duck" w/Roddy Mcdowall! Kind of a cult classic "modeling" her gift sweaters! A riot! "Thief" w/James Cahn, Jim Belushi and Willie Nelson! (great cameo). "Once Upon a Time In America", an epic unsung 'Jewish' mobster crime story w/Deniro, James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern, Jennifer Connely.and more! Peace
And remember Crest (with fluoristat): "...an effective decay preventive dentifrice that can be of significant value when used in a conscientiously applied program of oral hygiene and regular professional care." I actually memorized that when I was a kid. It cracked the other kids up when I recited it. Oh, and let's not forget Bucky Beaver and Ipana: It stands on its head!
"Brusha-brusha-brusha, with the new Ipana, it's dandy for your teeth!" (Jimmie Dodd of the original "Mickey Mouse Club" was the voice of Bucky Beaver...)
At 00:50 it sounds like announcer Ralph Paul introducing the show . He did similar intros for Warren Hulls Strike It Rich before they were cancelled and replaced with this show. He also worked for Ed Sullivan on his show pitching Colgate Palmolive's products on all three. By the way , unlike some women of today, Agnes Moorehead has a nice face and figure for a 59 year old woman. It must be her clean spartan living.
Interesting how Michael Anthony seems to have evolved into a host; catch the ending when he previews next week's millionaire and says "see you next week." Or was that cut from the reruns on CBS daytime and later syndication?
Since "The Millionaire" was re-run as a five-a-week, Monday-through-Friday strip as mentioned above, I suspect the closing and "see you next week" were edited out...so it was fascinating to see the show as it originally aired, complete with commercials...I was a couple months short of eight years old when this aired in 1960
I remember watching this as a kid. The only interesting part for me was when Michael Nowland delivered the check. After that it was plot, drama, conflict between good and evil, the human condition. You know, boring stuff.
Today from all of her plans would be millions of dollars to do lol. So she just blew the whole million just that quick. She should have purchased a store front or something and then went into relastate selling her house or renting it out. and buy a new one then plan the PARDY there. Lol people forget if All U have is a million dollars U have to circulate it because it disappears just like each new day.
Once I meet this woman she knew her Day's we're coming to End , Anyway she mentioned she wanted.to donate $$$$ To people in need and Asked for my opinion I said you must know. People, friends, or Family members. You can donate, But Also there's many ... Organization of children in need of food , She thank me. Wen she. Left she left Me and envelope w $20,000 ???? I was so. Surprised 😯😯 It took Me a week to deposit The check. I was afraid 😟 that could have been a set up. . I hire a lawyer to protect my self????
Perhaps you should wonder what people in 70 years will be writing comments about the products, chemicals, including all the “safe ones” and drugs of today. It makes you wonder doesn’t it?

Agnes Morehead and Tuesday Weld. What's not to enjoy? Two generations of actresses doing their best. Thanks very much for sharing.
1960 TV teaching lessons on 2021 finances. 😁
My favorite was the fabulous slant-o-matic dial!
Love this show! Love the old commercials! Thank you for uploading this show!
Nice to revisit a time when values were not mocked and were instead taught in stories. Even the commercial for the Singer-Slantomatic was watchable.

SO WATT
"Made in America...by American craftsmen..." More than 60 years before it became fashionable...in the Singer Slant-O-Matic commercial
This was a very popular show during its' entire run, and odd its' last season was in 1960 when still a very popular television show with a very devoted audience.
Absolutely great.
Thank you. Wonderful find. Agnes Moorehead and Tuesday Weld, two of my favorites. Good script.
In every movie they take a sip of tea and then they leave😀
This is one of the few times I ever recall "our next millionaire" inviting Michael Anthony in, maybe the only time. Seems somebody could have asked him if he'd like a cup of coffee while they went over the details surrounding the signing of the check.
@@bobthetvfan Tea was definitely more appropriate for Agnes Moorehead than coffee would have been.
Nice vintage television program 🧐✌️
WHAT A GEM TIHIS IS AMAZING I NEVER KNEW OF THIS PERFORMANCE VERY POSH PERFORMANCE

Agreed
I can't imagine a teen of today being as polite and accommodating in this day and age, but teens of any era are often just as impulsive. Today they wouldn't leave a note... I know from personal experience.
I’m curious about your experience with someone leaving without a note. Sounds awful.
It's Always terrible to be Left out of a life you were trying to build. Growth is Always hard.
Appreciated

It is indeed Ralph Paul.
I think I see a rather snug (as it should be) corset.
By the time she was "Endora", she didn't need any.
None of your uploads include a brief description (SYNOPSIS) of the program. Something to consider, I would advise.

Tuesday Weld always had that bad girl image in films.
Tipton, a billionaire in a time when people thought that billionaires were smart, not neo-fascist con men.
I don’t think you can give someone money and pay the taxes on it beforehand...
Tax Law was less intrusive in 1959
