    Odds Against Tomorrow, the film noir picture they mentioned as currently running on Broadway, was directed by Robt Wise and starred Harry Belafonte, Robert Ryan, and Ed Begley with Shelley Winters and Gloria Grahame in supporting roles. If you love great movies this one goes at the top of your list..

The “cameraman” contestant is far more attractive but her job brings to mind the thought that if a casting director were called for an attractive woman, suggesting Dorothy would be career ending.

    I think it was a matter of perspective. To a layperson, a ferris wheel moves mechanically on its own witnout being aided/moved/pushed by a person. To an engineer who makes them, a ferris wheel moves only when a human operator activates it.

      Beth Di Bartolomeo I have to guess that the guest and John were thinking of "who would hire her to operate a camera" rather than "who would enjoy indirectly the results of her work" (audience). Your suggested test case of child performers on a TV show is a good one, but rare enough that I'd be surprised if that were the basis of the panel's objection at the time.

    • @rmelin13231
      @rmelin13231 Год назад +3

      I think I read somewhere that Louis was scolded for that. In this episode, Harry started to explain why he couldn't ("...my contract...") as performers were often limited in their ability to perform specifics outside of a contracted venue. (Those are my words, and probably not precise).

    • @waldolydecker8118
      @waldolydecker8118 6 месяцев назад +2

      We all love Arlene, but she had a bad habit (her only visible one) of imposing on multiple guests during the run of this show to "perform" on their way off stage. You would think that as a performer herself she'd be more aware that performers either contractually can't perform or do not want to perform unexpectedly, unprepared, or simply on their day "off." Her requests superficially appear "cute" but are actually inconsiderate and unnecessary. Most guests rightfully disregarded the impositions; Louis Armstrong accommodating and thereby encouraging it to continue was unfortunate.

    Ah, the uptight fifties. When Arlene asks. "Are you beautiful?" There's an awkward pause until they clarify it to mean handsome leading man. Of course he was beautiful, but people were afraid to use that term for a man then. If Matt Bomer were on today, everyone would just say yes.

      "Beautiful" wasn't the issue. The issue was of modesty. Whenever someone is asked if they are "vivacious" "handsome" "a major star" "a blonde bombshell" John Daly answers in the affirmative so the guest doesn't have to to avoid being prideful.

      At that time many kinds of jobs were closed to women - and some unions de facto excluded women. If you weren't a man, you couldn't join the union, and you couldn't get a job in a union shop. The same kinds of things were done to exclude minorities from many fields of work. But - she could get a part time job in a small non-union TV station, because it probably paid too little to live on. And she probably made significantly less money than a man would make in the same job.
