    I am going through the episodes in order from the beginning and am facing two dilemmas. The more immediate is not being sure how I will handle Dorothy's last episode and the first one without her. She has become a valued friend over the months that I've been viewing the show. Although her actual death was more than 50 years ago, there will be a feeling of loss when she is no longer with us. Of course, I will watch those shows but will be saddened just as if she had left us this week.
    The second dilemma will be faced later: whether to start again at the beginning or switch to another show. Ah well, I'll cross that bridge in a couple of months. Meanwhile, thank you so much @What's My Line? for bringing us this wonderful program.

      mikejschin I'm doing exactly the same here (five months after you) and I know exactly what you mean. I am also an admirer of Miss Kilgallen so I will also be grieving during episodes made after what happens on Nov 8th 1965. I have already skipped ahead and watched the episode before (to check her demeanour and mood) as well as the one afterwards (to see the tributes) but the home straight run towards the last episode of the series without Dorothy will be....lacking.
      People talk of Dorothy's decline. With a matter of a few weeks ago, I'm yet to see ANY! And I watch pretty closely, believe me! I happen to know about 'decline' in various forms so I can judge objectively.

      @@davidsanderson5918 Hello Dave. Well, I've faced both situations mentioned in my original post. The episode after Dorothy's death was very painful to watch. They never did find a good replacement, although (unlike many others) I did like Phyllis Newman.
      Right after watching the final episode, I decided to start again at the beginning. It's fascinating in a lot of ways: catching things that went past me the first time, enjoying again some of the great moments, and most of all getting a different impression of some things than the first time through.

      Sean Connery spent his entire career emulating Ralph Meeker, from his walk, his stance to his facial expressions and snarl. His whole Bond performance was a Ralph Meeker lift, especially from Kiss Me Deadly. As the Bond character was a lift of American pulp fiction, comic magazine and film noire characters, from Dick Tracy, Doc Savage and The Shadow to Mike Hammer, Connery was a lift of the actors who played them. There was more to the reason why they had him on when he was a host.

    RE: Meeker's comment that Fonda never missed a performance of "Mr.
    Roberts" when Meeker was his understudy. [1948 - 1951 is the period in question] Fonda's tenacity on that point included performing the very evening after his wife [Jane's

    Great to see Sean Connery, at the hight of his Bond fame, on this show! I've never seen "A Fine Madness", but I highly recommend "The Hill" to those who might not have seen it. I think it's his best movie and it feels very modern still. In a way it reminds me of something Christopher Nolan might make today in that it's very rigorous; the military setting dictates the pacing of the story, and it's visually inventive and just exquisite cinematically. It's a shame more of that kind of work alluded his career, especially later on..."Meteor"..."The Rock"...etc, and, of course, although I love Roger Moore and Daniel Craig, he will always be the most perfect James Bond!

    • @jakemay637
      @jakemay637 2 года назад

      I always thought Connery was the best Bond until rewatching them. He was a little too greasy Lippies in the first three..with the mmmms sounding like a strange man in a trench coat. In Thunderball he was becoming more of a person rather than caricature. His best Bond was You Only Live Twice. Bond was actually likeable, someone you would have a pint with. He had chemistry with sidekick Tiger and the Bond girls.
      Moore's first Bond rivals Connery's YOLT...perfect balance of fun Bond as well as serious in necessary parts.
      Both films share pluses like witty script, scenery, iconic music, funny sidekicks, beautiful Bond girls, great villains (LALD with several). Moore lost the balance in the later films.
      Brosnan was very good in Goldeneye...his Bond was much like Moore's first Bond....but he held his swagger back. He had more Bond in The Matador.
      Craig hated the role and admitted he did it for the cash. He insisted Bond be killed off. Plus, offscreen he wasn't an ambassador for the 007 brand, unlike Roger and Pierce.

    The play Arlene and Ralph were appearing in, MRS. DALLY by William Hanley, was originally an off-Broadway play
    that introduced Estelle Parsons as a serious actress in 1962. Hanley added a second one-act that featured the
    wife's insenstive husband as opposed to her young lover in the first script. Always on the lookout for a decent
    script, Arlene tested the show in summer stock with Ralph and young Robert Forrester. Acting as producer,
    Arlene's husband Martin Gabel produced the play (with Arlene's money?) in New York in September of 1965.
    Though the critics praised Arlene for playing an atypical, middle-class woman, the evening couldn't overcome
    its modest one-act inspiration and closed in about six weeks, a financial failure. Arlene showed up a year
    later on Broadway in an all-star revival of the old comedy DINNER AT EIGHT, which ran a nice four months.

    I like that Arlene is familiar with the worst poem ever published, Joyce Kilmer's "Trees." I also like the way Arlene went out of her way to include Dorothy in the fun when John was making so much of the fact that Arlene was there tonight with both her stage husband and her actual husband. Arlene Francis might have been the classiest American woman who ever lived.

    • @Beson-SE

    The UK had "Carry On Spying", part of the Carry On series, and the Harry Palmer series with Michael Caine.
    The US had shows like "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." and its Chick spinoff "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.", "Get Smart" and "Mission: Impossible", and films such as the "Flint" series with James Coburn, and the Matt Helm series with Dean Martin.

      I notice it's common now for younger people to expect things in history to be how they are now...."how come they're doing this? how come that's happening?". I find it striking because not that long ago I was also their age and I remember understanding naturally that whatever was normal to me was modern while not necessarily normal in the past.
      I think this has come about with the apparent concurrence of EVERYTHING via the internet. Younger people who don't remember a time prior to it have difficulty considering things for being 'of their time'. Very VERY strange, I don't like it...but that's what's happened.

But in all seriousness, this was a stop made following a Papal visit to the UN and from there, following the Mass at Yankee Stadium, the Pope then went to the Vatican Pavilion at the New York World's Fair, which was in its final week (and was one of the most attended pavilions because Michelangelo's Pieta was on display there) and from there flew out from JFK Airport.

I wonder where it did come from and when they taped it. Even though the panel had no Smart Phones back then, on which they could receive texts informing them immediately of the identity of the just advertised mystery guest, it still just feels a bit risky to me to have the MG announced before the panel is blindfolded and ready for him and with a few minutes of show left before that would happen.

      SaveThe TPC By "texts" do you mean telegrams? Is it true that the only time the mystery Guest was blindfolded was when Eleanor Roosevelt was on?

    From movies I watch I’m used to Sean Connery old and Henry Fonda young. Nice to see them both here.

    Only post-1952 episode with prologue. It was meant to get all the young audiences for Sean Connery and the Bond films.

    I like the speculation that Connery's agent insisted on that voice over opening introduction of Sean -- the only time I can think of this sort of introduction happening on WML. It would Be darned interesting to know who got the voice over assignment since it is not Johnny Olsen. What did Franklin Heller or Bob Bach sound like?

      It sort of reminds me of the 1974-75 shows where they would briefly tease one of the contestants.

      It might have been Ralph Meeker because, of course, he was right there.
