Arlene is so sweet to raise her voice and enunciate for the man that can't hear well. She is such a sweetheart.
Mr. Schlein might be the best non-mystery guest this show has ever had on. He was great. What a natural character.
He talked like a Western movie character, I loved it.
Oh, there’s a deeply southern meteorologist who’s quite a character too.
@@CAP198462 Always an honorable mention for the little guy who was an optician for chickens. He could not see (as it were) why anyone would find that funny.
The gold prospector !!! What a character..enjoyed him
Loved the gold prospector! A very wonderful sense of humour!
The Gold prospector is one of the best guest yet! LOL
+Purple Capricorn I thought he was terrible. Couldn't hear and kept saying yes when he should have said no.
jasper15276
He was hilarious to me.
I agree with you about that Hick Prospector. Yeah he very rarely said "No" and the poor guy couldn't hear "a lick". They shouldn't have had him on!
LOL this guy didn't have a clue about anything....
He's a handsome old codger!
Mr. Schlein the gold prospector was straight out of central casting!
Well said!
There was so much laughter during this episode, both in the theater and behind this computer screen! I loved it! XD XD XD
Ended when Darryl F. Zanuck came on.
The sheep 'plucker' was an absolute doll.. charming as she could be!
sure was...would have let her pluck me anytime
I love John Daly
I think im in love w him!!!
Bennett Cerf's word choice mistake with the second contestant is among his very funniest moments in his whole WML history.. 17:40 >>> LOLOF I used to show this clip to my college English composition students as an example of the importance of correct word choice -- and it always met with hilarity. The image in the mind is just too funny.
soulierinvestments Almost as funny - though no one picks up on it - happens at 19:40, when John Daly, attempting to mock Cerf, mistakenly refers to sheep having fur. The WML performers generally were just hopeless about biology generally, and agriculture in particular. Every inch city folk.
"...pluck sheep?" The panelists seem clueless in knowing about the farm.
@@TyrSkyFatherOfTheGods Oh city folk: that explains how they are so clueless about animals!
Bennett may be excused for thinking you could pluck sheep. I suppose his alma mater, Townsend Harris High School in Queens, doesn't offer an FFA program.
So wonderful to see these shows. I laughed so hard on this one. Thank you.
It was great having Sir Cedric Hardwicke on the panel. I thought he was great in the Ten Commandments and also as the narrator on the film War of the Worlds.
Dorothy calls him 'Seedric' but the usual pronunciation is 'Sedric' with a short E.
He was also magnificent in King Solomon's Mines and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
@@altonpitts5303 And as the anti-modernity sculptor in HG Wells's 'Things to Come'. Three alpha-male authority figures battling it out: Raymond Massey, Hardwicke and Ralph Richardson.
That gold prospector seriously needed a hearing aid.
What a sweet character! 😜☺️
Er...what did you say?
I’m being fitted for one soon, and my beard makes his look like stubble!
Sir Cedrick Hardwick one of the greatest actors! I was hoping he’d be a mystery guest!
Arlene is so beautiful tonight.
Pluck sheep!?! Bennett Cerf is truly dense about the world around him. 🤯
Well...the ovine world, anyway! But I agree - pluck WAS an odd choice of words for Mister Know-It-All Dictionary publisher to use.
"It may not have fur but I bet its got fuzz."
Cerf " Do you pluck Sheep?"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What a city boy...I lmao!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
best episode i have seen.. thanks for the upload
There's something amazing in the way Kilgallen pauses upon entry into a sort of courtsey-without-a-courtsey - a simple _pause_ in the movement of her legs serves to say "hello"... See 00:48. Francis stops completely to acknowledge the audience and nods her head, but it's somehow very different!
Poor boyish Bennett. Never saw him look so ashamed. "Plucked!" Big hug to him in heaven
What a guy, Darryl F. was. He bedded a lot of women, had many mistresses...career faltered toward the end...but...what a guy!
What an overbite! If he bedded a lot of women, he must have kissed them with only one lip.
@@drzarkov39 It's not what your mouth may look like....it's what you can do with it....of course, he had a lot of money to put where his mouth was.....
Much like myself in every respect.
Mr. Pproducer, Daryl is an honest man, no matter his running a studio.
The Prospector, fit the bill to a tee, he was pure Gold, lol.
I bet that ol’ soup strainer was a bit claggy …
The prospector would have made Monty Woolley jealous.
Funnily enough, he looks like George Bernard Shaw. Cedric Hardwicke became famous as Shaw's go-to star, knighted when barely 40. GBS said Hardwicke was his favorite actor except for the Marx Brothers.
Yes, I'm a Marxist too...
@@rogerlephoque3704 'Je suis marxiste, tendance Groucho.' (Paris, mai 1968)
Ms. Kurtz the sheep shearer is charming
A plucky little plucker who had to think about how many legs a sheep had and whether it had an arse!
Darryl Zanuck worked for Warner Bros. before he left to create his own studio which today is called 20th Century Fox.
Or _was_ "20th Century Fox" until recently.
Brendan Richards: What is it now called? Is it now 21th Century Fox?
@@johnpickford4222 Unless you're being an outright idiot, no.
It's 20th Century Studios.
I believe today it's now called 20th Century Studios.
@@aztro4010 stoopid! if it ain't broke ...
Its the Pharaoh from The Ten Commandments . His voice was so very familiar. But yet I couldn't place it for the longest time.
Yes, Seti...
More importantly, he was Constance Ford's abusive "Uncle Simon" in a classic Twilight Zone episode.
They got Zanuck suspiciously quickly.
Either those blindfolds are transparent, or the panel and so-called ‘mystery guest’ along with John ‘the forehead’ Daly, were knocking back the bourbon in the green room.
He 6
He had an easy voice to detact for anyone who knew the film business.
@@williamsnyder5616 He was 6? Interesting. What, by the way, is ‘to detact’?
This was aired on my first birthday.
That producer was a drag
🌹💙 Bennet Cerf, “Do you ‘pluck’ sheep?” 😆😆😆
I could listen to Cedric Hardwicke all day long.
Daryl Zanuck. The man who was hated by most of the leading ladies who were contracted to him...Alice Faye, Betty Grable, Marilyn, etc. I'll bet if Alice were watching this show the night it was broadcast, she quickly flipped the channel.
The problem was that Zanuck, always a writer first and foremost, prioritized scripts and subjects over glamor and spectacle. He regarded women as playthings, or as decorative cash cows in the popular films he needed to bankroll prestige product such as Wilson, The Razor's Edge or The Longest Day- what he called 'thinking men's blockbusters.' Whereas Mayer at MGM, for example, probably loved and valued his cavalcade of female stars- Garbo, Jeanette MacDonald, Eleanor Powell, Judy Garland, Lana Turner, Greer Garson- more than his male leads. Zanuck was the least successful mogul when it came to finding and shaping on-screen talent (except Sonia Henie😁) and his predatory habits did not endear him to them.
Shirley Temple lost the role of Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz because she wouldn't go to bed with with Slimeball Zanuck.
Interesting that Arlene has a horse with fur. 😮 Wool is more closely related to hair than fur, in that it continuously grows, while fur has a set length.
Bennett got Zanuck. In 1954, he told Louis Jourdan that Jourdan must have picked up his terrific American accent from playing croquet with Zanuck. But it must have been a joke because there is no resemblance.
I like the way the sheep shearer woman had to think about how many legs a sheep has!
The infamous "pluck sheep" episode.
Great fun! I wonder how many more men there are in the world, if any, who have a Father Christmas beard and moustache and are called Rudolph? Maybe he was unique!
The furry horse … straight out of one of my favourite nightmares!
Bless you, Darryl = with all those millions, you never got your teeth fixed
Zanuck's casting couch got a major workout when he was in charge.
Zanuck. One of the very best movie producers of that time. Not terribly amusing, though.
soulierinvestments Wikipedia correctly describes him as "an egotistical tyrant and voracious womanizer."
Practically Random House Dictionary's third definition of a Hollywood studio director in those days.
+soulierinvestments maybe he was good producer but I don't like his attitude of controlling the stars of the Studio. Ore is there any good reason to forbid a star to make records of the famous songs from the movies? as he did with Alice Faye.
Imho this may be a good advertise for the movies and not a reason to miss a movie. Alas, because he was such an .... there a now really good records from Alice, only the takes from the movies an her radio shows as Chesterfield Girl and the Shows with her husband Phil Harris. But here is quality often miserable.
+soulierinvestments Not particularly, but since I'd never seen him speak, it was pretty interesting. (I imagine he talked faster when dealing in his element.)
"The Roots Of Heaven" was a critical and financial disaster in 1958 but I think it is a remarkable film. It is 40-50 years ahead of its time. It's about a group of lost souls in need of redemption who band together to save the African elephant from poachers. The themes are radically pro-environmental, and I do mean radically. I've wondered how Zanuck was persuaded to back this film, as he reportedly told the screen writer Patrick Leigh Fermor that it was "a load of humanitarian hooey." It used to be on You Tube and is worth checking out however you can find it.
I just an interview with David Niven who said Zanuck could eat an apple through a tennis racket.
134 degrees is too hot
Zanuck was separated from his infinitely tolerant wife, Virginia, based in Europe (preparing 'The Longest Day') and between proteges, Bella Darvi and Irina Demick.
'The Roots of Heaven' was not a hit, but has won renewed attention as an early film about wildlife preservation. Zanuck was stuck between two aging roisterers, director John Huston and star Errol Flynn, not to mention the egomaniac Orson Welles and Trevor Howard, who liked a drink. DFZ had cast another onetime 'star in the making' who wasn't, Juliette Greco, as his female lead.
He had more reasons than the tropical heat to be grumpy. He barks out his answers in the military manner of the persona he adopted in WW2 as Colonel Zanuck of the Signal Corps.
A rare episode where each of the three contestants were odd and eccentric and slowed down the pacing of the program.
horse and sheep are fur bearing?
darn city people.
I have enjoyed these programs since childhood in the 50s, but it is rather sad that none of Dorothy's friends ever questioned her death or the bogus coroner's report, which was controlled at the time by the mafia.
That prospector was a true "Yes Man" as he just not could say no!
The Sheep Shearer, poor Bennett saying, "Do You Pluck Sheep". Early television and inuendo!
The talk about the Yankees made me curious. I knew in the 58 series the Yankees were down 3 to 1 to the Braves but came back to win. I was wondering what happened this particular day. Per Wikipedia this was the day the Yankees lost game 4 to go down 3 to 1. I'm a life long Yankee fan but, since I was 8 months old at the time, I didn't actually remember.
that's no excuse for not remembering if you are a true Yankees fan.
@@waldolydecker8118 The first real memory I have of the Yankees in the World Series was game one in 1963, when Sandy Koufax struck out 15 I think it was. I was 5. I remember getting tired of seeing the Yankees strike out that much so I went outside to play. You can that when you're five, if something isn't going well you can just stop and go do something else. That of course was a game one loss of a four game sweep. Thankfully, I don't remember the other three games. I'm sure those games were much like this year is turning out to be, not worth remembering.
@@sandydog291 lol, you're right, Koufax struck out 15 in that 1963 first game. He broke fellow Dodgers Karl Erskine's 10 year old record of 14 from 1953. Bob Gibson would break Koufax's record with 17 five years later in 1968, and it still stands 55 years later. Cheers.
@@waldolydecker8118 Admittedly I wasn't aware that day he struck out 15. I was in grammar school, around the 5th or 6th grade, and was reading a book about Koufax. When it came to the part about him striking out 15 Yankees in a World Series game I realized that was the game I had walked out on.
you would think that for all the money that Kellogg's paid the Mad Men they could have gotten a better slogan than "the widest choice of cereals in the whole wide world." With all the words in the whole wide world, you would think the ad agency could have come up with a slogan that didn't use "wide" twice within 8 words.
They probably did at one point, Mr. Preppysocks. But if you had paid closer attention to "Mad Men", you'd know that they have to go along with what the sponsor wants and NOT what they think is the most appropriate choice!
That day, the Braves beat the Yankees 3-0 to take a 3-1 lead in the World Series. The Yanks would subsequently win three straight and take the series.
But how did the Sheep Pluckers do?
This show was broadcast for years and the guest could not hear the panel week after week, year after year. They never fixed the problem.
Rudolph, the first 'guest', looked more like the guy who owned Rudolph
Let's go and pluck some sheep y'all! Lol!
Zanuck was a predatory beast in Hollywood, forcing himself on young actresses. He prided himself on his large anatomy "downstairs" and would brag about it in the most disgusting way. One person who came forward with this was Dame Joan Collins, his underling at 20th Century Fox. Back when this interview was made people knew about his gross behavior but no one publicly denounced him.
WML's 1950s studio had a major acoustic problem -- no less an expert than Frank Lloyd Wright commented on it during his appearance. The director and producer should have realized they were in for trouble with a deaf contestant and done something to better compensate. Interesting that Arlene can get herself understood by Our Ancient Contestant, but the rest of that sequence drags to embarrassment.
I think it was probably a question of monitoring. For example, the worst place to hear a band from, is on the stage itself, so I would say they didn't do enough to allow the contestants to hear the panelists.
There are many potential problems with monitoring too loudly on stage, like feedback. These days fighting feedback is pretty easy with parametric and graphic EQs, but they really hadn't been invented yet in 1958.
Frank Lloyd Wright was an architect, not an acoustician. They are not the same. Plus his hearing was pretty bad at that time in his life, as well.
For the majority of contestants. Even the overwhelming majority, things went well.
The deaf prospector was able to understand Arlene because her theatrical training had taught her to project her words and to enunciate very precisely, If one listens to her questions in comparison to those of the other contestants, her careful elocution is very evident. Not to deny the notorious acoustics of the theater -- they were indeed horrible -- but actors have to learn to be understood even under poor conditions.
@gcjerryusc Hearing aids were bulky and expensive back then ... They still used tiny vacuum tubes like the portable radios of that time, and needed significant battery power. The unit would fit in the pocket of a man's jacket but not in his shirt pocket until they started using transistors a few years later. My grandfather got one of the first transistor models when I was a very young boy, circa 1960.
Yes. Arlene also chose simpler sentences with her words and slowed down a bit. The others made no effort to accommodate. Also correct about the hearing aides.
@@dizzyology7514 - Spot on...Arlene learned from the failures before her and went to her stage training...the others never bothered
920 sick calls is too many
it was very hot in Africa
I didn't realize you could PLUCK a sheep. Oh Bennett you meant well son. LOL
One of the funniest moments of the whole series, imo!
"Do you pluck sheep?" Oh Bennett!! Somebody please tell me he became a gentleman farmer when he retired from Random House! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
I just now looked up Bennett Cerf and it said that he was a cousin of Vint Cerf, one of the modern inventors of the Internet.
Anyone who thinks sheep are plucked is liable to get fleeced.
And he publishes the Random House Dictionary!
LOL!!hahaha....gold prospector
There is very definitely a product connected with sheep-shearing. That would be raw wool. If it were not so, why would they bother to shear the sheep in the first place?
It is a product especially popular with women. For example, many of us love shear stockings.
Sheep would die of heat exhaustion due to the sheer weight of the wool.
Mr. Schlein needs a hearing aid.
I get the feeling after watching all of the episodes and more that they prepped the contestants very little if any at all. .
It seem like they relied on them having seen the show.
You get the most off beat responses from contestants sometimes which indicates to me that some are rather unfamiliar with WML.
A horse has fur? Oh Arlene.
I keep saying the same thing lol. Its called hair!
No wonder the movie was a flop! Zanuck didn't do much to promote it on this show. All he did was complain!
Watson!
omg dorothy speak up
Daryl. Didn't he play Yul Brenner's father in "The Ten Commandments"?
Mr. Hyttinen, that would be Sir Cedric Hardwicke portraying Seti 1.
According to Hollywood legend, Darryl Zanuck had a bronze cast made of his endowment. He would pull it out of his desk drawer when he wanted to seduce a starlet.
It's certainly a pity that ALL the starlets didn't form a line and take turns introducing that bronze thing to Mr. Zanuck's own pooper hole!
Quite rare even no to have female sheep shearers. In New Zealand they don't like to shear their sheep they don't share them with anyone.. (Bennett groan inserted here)
In 1958, sheep shearing was one of the few jobs in which females could be promoted to be supervisors, also known as Shear Leaders. (Insert another Bennett groan here)
Sheep shearing is an extremely strenuous job and places a tremendous strain on the body, particularly the back. Tough lady, great attitude.
FYI when someone can't hear, take your voice and make it more manly and bring it down a notch.
Wool is not fur! Nothing to think about!
What or where is the hell wahoo?
this show is so entertaining how is wheel of furtune entertainment today. smh
Eh? Eh? Eh?
I don’t think he was happy to be there . He doesn’t seem happy .
Denied the corny corn ads … shame!
The guy is as deaf as a post. So funny.
*_Gold Prospector_*
*_Shears Sheep_*
Is it me or is John getting frustrated with having to repeat every question for the first guest.
He does it for quite a few people. There have been quite a few who couldn't hear properly in that theatre. Especially if they're older and hard of hearing.
Does this animal have a WHAT?!? :)
I liked that first guy!.... but he was kinda deaf!! and not just him, but so many episodes, old and young people alike seemed deaf. WHY? or do they just have selective hearing (hearing what they wanna hear)
thanks for telling us what selective hearing is; not one single one of us had any idea whatsoever...
@@washoe4827 :D
Its the theatre they film in. Obviously the acoustics aren't as good for TV. Unless they move into a studio it will probably continue to be difficult to hear.
darryl looks board.i wonder why
Bored
Sorry to be a spoilsport but I think people who can't hear, can't sign in, can't answer a question correctly as yes or no and can't tell when it's time to leave shouldn't be on the show. What a drag that first guest was!
francis was unable to shut her mouth- she had always keep talking- very rude
Golf prospector was stupid
