    I was about 4 years old when this show was done, and McQueen was talking about making The Sand Pebbles at this time, and my dad, a WWII vet loved that movie and told me it was very realistic to a lot of what he had to deal with on the ship in the Navy and overseas. I miss him every day, and I miss McQueen too. Great actor and one of my favorites.

      My 92 year old Dad was a Marine and served in Korea during the war. Steve McQueen was and is his favorite actor and The Sand Pebbles is his favorite movie. He watches that movie at least 3 or 4 times a year. I know the day is coming when he will be leaving this life and I will always cherish the memory of Steve McQueen and that movie because of him. Your father and my Dad are of the same breed of men that shall always be remembered. Steve McQueen was the best.

      Sand Pebbles was controversial when released, due to the manner of how the servicemen were portrayed. This was during the Vietnam War. It's not one of the movies that come to many people's mind whenever they bring up McQueen, but it should be. He was superb in the film. A very young Candice Bergen also appeared with him in the film.

      You are missing WHY they keep guessing the famous actors. These shows pick actors who are premiering a new movie that week in New York. The panel reads a new movie opening that week and who stars in it. Over and over this happens. That's Jews for you. Always cheating. I've seen Joan Crawford, Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Fonda, and Woody Allen. All had new movies in New York opening sometimes that very night. Look for yourself. They ruin everything.

      Joe Postove Gables was a good actor and I'm not taking that away from him, but much of his fame was the old Hollywood studio propaganda which hyped many of the actors of that era. By earnings and number of "fans" due to the post war baby boomers, McQueen wins out hands down - McQueen was the first actor to be paid over $1 million a film and his estate upon his death was over $30 million which is over $70 million in today's money AND his name is still earning $7 million a year 35 years after his death. Can you say the same about Clark Gable?

      ... except for when the MG was in a hit Broadway play, or was starring in a television show (preferably on CBS) or was a popular singer (they never guessed Julie London in her multiple appearances), or a star sports figure or a famous political figure.
      Bennett had said that it was a fun job and relatively easy money (no lines to learn or rehearsals to attend). But doesn't mean there was no preparation for the show. Dorothy was up to date on the entertainment world because of her column and Arlene because of her radio program. Bennett kept abreast of things no doubt in part because celebrities often write (w/ or w/o a ghost writer) books that sell, but also because he was competitive. Also he (and Martin when he was on as well as some of the other male panelists) were expected to provide sports expertise for the panel.
      It has also been revealed in interviews that the panelists would warm up before the show. Part of that was for one of them to think of an occupation and the others would try to guess it. The other part was that they would discuss who was likely to be the MG that evening. On a couple of occasions, I have heard Bennett or Arlene say, "Shall we say it all at once?"

      yellowdeer 7 Steve ended up divorcing his wife, and marry Ali after that film.

      Cool. I really enjoyed The Getaway, both were excellent in it. Also, the great Ben Johnson and Al Letieri. I think it's an undervalued film, from Sam Peckinpaugh.

    Steve McQueen couldn't fool the panel ! When I was a teen during the 1970's I had a friend who always said he wanted to drive like Steve McQueen !

    Today marks the 101st anniversary of John Daly's birth. Happy birthday, JCD!
    Check out the opening of this episode for a special birthday tribute paid to John, just after Arlene's introduction (about 1 minute and 40 secs into the video, in case the link doesn't start the vido playing where it's supposed to:):

      ***** Even Ezio Pinza couldn't manage to squeeze all the syllables of John's full name into the Happy Birthday song. :)

    Hot damn, Steve McQueen. He sure sounded like Walter Brennan.

    If you're a Steve McQueen fan & haven't read the 1972 book about him called "Star On Wheels," by William Nolan, it's a very interesting read. It's mostly about his racing, but there's also an unexpected story about a can of beans & a campfire that's pretty funny. *it's out of print, but you can still find used copies of it on eBay & Amazon
