So fortunate to have spoken with him at the WWII Memorial dedication. What an amazing man he was. Kind and soft spoken, but with such a commanding presence.
I saw him on Johnny Carson when he recited a poem about a favorite cow of his. Brought me to tears 😭 it was so tender and compassionate 💘 He was one of the great all around actors.
Jack Palance gave one of the greatest filmed performances I've ever seen in "Requium of a Heavyweight." Written by Rod Serling. Heartbreakingly beautiful performance.
I thought so too...he brought out Serling's character in a genuine heart-rendering way, but with a quiet dignity as well...just a terrific performance.
I met Jack Palance in 1979, when he shot an episode of 'Ripley's Believe it Or Not' at the US Army Corps of Engineers-Waterways Exerperiment Station-Environmental Research and Simulation Laboratory in Vicksburg, Mississippi where I worked. He sat under our one-of-a-kind rainfall simulator in a yellow raincoat and hat.
Former Heayweight boxing pro, with a record of 12 - 2. An errant punch got him his major Broadway debut replacing Brando as Stanley Kowalski. I wouldn't mess with Jack. R.I.P.
Almost impossible to fool this incredibly intelligent panel, especially the celebrity guest. They didn’t get them all but they got the majority of the professions. Great show that I enjoyed as a child
I will always remember Jack Palance hosting "Ripleys's believe it or not". He always added to the stories with his unique voice and flair. That was a fantastic show.
No one has mentioned Mr. Palance in the western movie - SHANE /1953 ... playing the bad guy real well, and the gun fight near the end, taking place in a saloon is one of the best, as is the movie ... with Alan Ladd, Van Heflin, Jean Arthur, and a young, but talented Brandon De Wilde.
That's right... and that's what made it real macho ... looking to the right at all the other videos I see an old Password show with Jack Palance & Lauren Bacall ... what a combo ... ruclips.net/video/-FdL1ITW11I/видео.html
At one time he was a heavyweight boxer under the name Jack Brazzo. During his career he had a run of 15 straight victories, 12 of which were by KO. He lost a close decision in 1940 to a rising young boxer who was eventually the #2 ranked heavyweight (Joe Baksi) who at some point lost a bout to Ezzard Charles. Had he won, Baksi would have fought Joe Louis for the heavyweight title. So that gives you an idea of Palance's athleticism.
@@taraxacum He did some during an awards show. Can't remember what one it was off the top of my head, but I think it was either the Emmy's or the Academy awards.
I absolutely ADORE the ladies' dresses in this episode - Arlene's flowing dress was elegant and glamorous, while Dorothy's sleek black dress was ever so chic!
After reading Lee Israel's bio of dorothy Kilgallen I respect her. Anyone who is interested in this woman who was way before her time should read this book.
+Jimmy Flanagan A really informative and entertaining read : I've told people how Dorothy had an incredible career before the first episode of WML . Do you have a sister Nancy and are you from Virginia ? just wonderin' ...
I have read many biographies on Dorothy Kilgallen. This most brilliant journalist was said to be “ the woman who knew too much”regarding the Warren Commission final conclusion regarding the Kennedy assignation, was murdered to silence her from divulging her conclusions. Do the research!
Maybe you gotta just take my word for it as a long standing fan, this was not at all who Fred Allen was as a person, or what his comedy was like for that matter, at least when he was in control of his material and format (which he definitely wasn't on WML). If you read bios of him, it's astounding to read what everyone who knew him had to say about him as a *person*; he was a universally loved man (by all but network and ad agency executives), one who lived humbly and gave away huge, unknown portions of his income supporting countless strangers and ex vaudevillians down on their luck. He used to walk around with wads of bills in different denominations to give out to the regulars on his walks, to the extent that he would pay in advance if he knew he would be out of town for some reason, knowing that these folks depended on him that much. His radio comedy was notably aggressive for its time, very acidly satirical in particular towards radio and radio executives, but as a person, he was a pussycat. So maybe it's what I know about him outside the show, but when I hear Fred Allen say something inappropriate on WML-- which definitely happens, I certainly don't deny that-- I hear a guy who wasn't good at the game flailing around trying to be funny or at least to latch onto to any observation that would nudge him towards a relevant question. When I hear Hal Block say something inappropriate on WML-- which happened *constantly*-- all I hear is a boob. As I've said elsewhere, you just can't get a good feel for who Fred Allen was if all you've been exposed to is seeing him struggle through WML. :( Fred Allen defense rant over!
Thanks for that info. Very informative. As for Hal Bloch, you'd have a hard time selling me that he was well liked outside the show. He seemed like a jerk through and through
Galileocan g Check out Fred's autobiography MUCH ADO ABOUT ME, if you can. It's a wonderful love letter to old-time vaudeville and relates the large amount of dues Allen payed to become a star. He literally had to go halfway around the world to Australia and New Zealand to get bookings!
+Galileocan g I've read many comments on these videos about remarks that WML panelists made which would be considered very inappropriate these days. Having grown up during the 1950's and 60's, I can tell you that such remarks were not meant in a mean-spirited way and it was quite common for people (especially male buddies) to give as well as they took in that area. After all, very few of us don't have some feature that isn't picture perfect. (That's how caricaturists get their subject matter.) Among friends, if they knew someone was sensitive about it, they'd lay off. But being able to take a ribbing and give one back in good humor was considered a very positive trait in such circles. And it was the basis for comedians like Don Rickles: no group got singled out or skipped over, including the ones that were part of Rickles' identity.
Watching these in sequential order, I've noticed that's often the case. He's a very rude person. I can read fans talking about how wonderful he is, but just based on WML (and I don't know him from anywhere else), he comes across as so brusque and curt and insensitive. I know the times were different, but some of this is just dignity and common sense in public. I think he's rude. He also makes fun of people's gainful employment. Not cool.
Fred Allen's quip at 5:40, "Do you think the President is giving the country another Gettysburg address?" needs a bit of explanation. After retiring from the military, General Eisenhower bought a farm near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, about 1950; he had a heart attack during his first presidential term in September 1955 and spent some time at the farm recuperating after his six-week hospital stay was over, so his "address" was newsworthy at this time. "Giving the country" proved true after all: the Eisenhowers donated the farm to the National Park Service in 1967.
Neil Midkiff Thanks for that. I was just trying to dig for the information myself (as the reaction to Allen's ill-managed quip signified some sort of edginess to it). Couldn't find it so I resorted to scrolling down the comments which I do anyway. Have to say, now I know the background courtesy of you, Allen's pathetic gag is even more distasteful. I wonder how Allen would feel about jokes made about him after HIS heart attack, had he survived it!
I really enjoy this show. I was 4 when this one was shown, but don't remember it. But it does bring back memories of the 50's when I was growing up. Thanks for sharing.
What's My Line? I also want to thank you for sharing these. I was 8 and it is great to see all the people I grew up with and some I didn't know. I started from the first show and it has been an eye opener.
The Amish Umpire It's been a real pleasure for me sharing the shows here on RUclips. Nothing pleases me more than to read about newcomers to the show getting hooked!
« Where do you think you’re going ? » said Jack Palance to Elisha Cook Jr ... But poor Elisha kept walking... So he got shot !!! The film SHAYNE, directed by George Stevens, with Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin, Brandon de Wilde, Jack Palance... A CLASSIC !!! The kind of movie they don’t make anymore...
My favorite of all time. Saw it in the theater when I was 6. Watch it apres ski every January, now. The location is a magnificent supporting character.
Good save, when John coughed to cover up a momentary lapse of memory when he forgot the dog catchers name. Then he glanced down at his desk and came up the name. 11:58 He is so smooth!
This is the first show that the panelists make separate entrances in the center. This was suggested by Arlene to "show the dresses" on a prior show and the letters from the audience must have been overwhelmingly in favor. 2 episodes later, the "What's My Line?" shown at the beginning is superimposed over the picture, finalizing the beginning of the show.
And the superimposed "What's My Line?" two episodes later is in upper-and-lower case letters, unlike the logo on this show which is all uppercase. It's the same typeface and similarly uneven placement and angles of the letters, but it's not really the same logo.
The first episode to feature separate entrances was November 13, 1955. November 20th had them stationary in their sears again. This is the second time.
The Secret Service man has the most serious and executive look on his face. A no nonsense kinda look. Like "alright, let's get this over with so I can get back to work".
I always liked jack palance.I watched Bronk,when new, and also his movie of Dracula, and Ripley's Believe it or Not.He created an LP, during the 1970's, and it can be had in CD form now.I can barely hear this.
They've had Van Heflin, Brandon deWilde and now Jack Palance......just waiting for Alan Ladd. :) Lovely to see Palance smile so much without a hint any menace for once. :) I NEVER KNEW his real was Ukranian! Also I've pronounced his name incorrectly all my life!!
@@dcasper8514 Elisha was an awesome character actor. Was great in Bogey flicks, especially The Big Sleep. Should have been on WML, too, imo. Too bad Jack did him in.
This is so weird. I turned CC on since it's late and I don't want to turn the volume up but the subtitles are for an entirely different show. It's a poker game going on or something.
you have to go into settings and change it. I have no idea why it is an option. I watched a video of the Swedish chef from the muppets, they intentionally put in funny subtitles as an option. that made sense there, especially since you can't understand the Swedish chef, but here, it makes no sense.
I dig young Palance's X-Men Wolverine style doo, very cool. He broke character a little talking to the light haired lady then the darker haired woman knew his voice, I think lol.
Jack looks like he should have been Batman, that mask was made for his broad face with the prominent cheekbones, his hair is spiked up like the bat ears
These shows started coming up in my recommended because I looked up Dorothy Killgalen in relation to JFK conspiracies. I had never heard of her. I’ve now watched a few of these and I knew who Tony Randall. I’ve never heard of most of the others, in the episodes I watched. I’ve never heard of Jack Palance. Interesting guy though. I love that everyone is dressed up. They seem extremely polite and well mannered. Of course this aired 68 years ago and my grandpa is not even 68 years old. To me this is ancient.
Palance mentions a film he did, "I Died A Thousand Times", a remake of the film "High Sierra". Palance played the role Bogart portrayed in "High Sierra".
Jack Palance plays a really good Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde. 1968. He is excellent as a vicious Southern gang leader during the Civil War in: The Desperadoes 1969, unfortunately the film was hacked to pieces, carelessly censored, and totally ruined, more than any other movie of the time or since, and no complete print seems to be available anywhere.
I think you're right, the volume level is unusually low. I'm sorry to say though I really can't fix this. With my current setup it would take me hours to first fix it and then upload the replacement video. I hope it's not a problem in other shows-- this hasn't come up before.
Yes, I do and I've had similar problems with the last couple (in sequence) prior to this. It's not horrible, but a little low. Certainly not so bad as to spend a lot of time fixing it. I'm was just glad to find out the problem isn't on my end.
Yes, it's true that the audio portion is so low as to be almost incomprehensible. However, in such situations, I always keep a set of earphones handy--such as the ones I'm using right now! (It makes a world of difference.)
In this 1955-1957 collection the last 3 or 4 have been quieter. If you have a video editor open the video, "normalize" the audio and then re-render the video.
Nope. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only one. I saw the comments about people complaining about the low volume, but everything sounds just fine on my end. How strange. . . As always, quite enjoyable.
In my collection I have I DIED A 1000 TIMES (A good Remake of HIGH SEIRRA) & THE BIG KNIFE with Ida Lupino, Rod Steiger etc.) I recommend, SUDDEN FEAR with Joan Crawford, Gloria Graham etc. (Film Noir)
I just learned from the man himself that I've been pronouncing Jack Palance's name wrong all these years. I always thought it was PaLANCE. From now on, it will be PALance.
Yes, I'm right. I'm watching this from episode 1 through in order, and at first I thought it was a fluke, but it's not. There's the same boisterous and blustering guy yelling in the audience as part of the routine, week after week, the same guy. I understand they're plants, to rile the audience up. But yeesh, this is really over the top.
I’d noticed the laugh too and you’re correct that it could be a plant. But having been to a number of TV tapings I’ve seen the warm up guys laugh enthusiastically to try to get the crowd going. It’s also possible that it’s a member of the stage crew since directors and producers are sometimes at stage level during the shows.
@@cuttersboi08It's my friend Jim Obrian we were teenagers,and would take the train 15 cents each for token, from Brooklyn and watch the show. The theater was built above the train staion very noisy. No fee, we sat in the middle of the audience and Jim would hoot and hollar. Attended 2 x a month 😅
Anna Kaminski I can see a band of orange, green and yellow or whatever it is appear on screen announcing something but I make a point of not reading it. I'm determined to not let them distract me!!
I'm not sure what the deal is but every program since about the beginning of Sep '55, the sound is barely audible. I've got my computer speakers on full blast and can barely hear the program.
Bamberger's parade was in Newark, New Jersey, home of the flagship store of that retail chain. Macy's bought them out but kept the Bamberger's name at this time, then folded them into their own chain later. Hudson's parade was in Detroit and as far as I know is still going on under the name of America's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Due to the volume and missing some amusing banter between Mr. Baughmann and Mr. Daly, I turned CC (captions) on and imagine my surprise to see a conversation re: $2400 and $1500 are the subject matter. One of them is named Gabe. With a few other hints, I'm guessing it has something to do with gambling and cards! Hmm. Could this be the reason audio is so low? With my eyes I SEE WML, I see the text, they just don't fit together as crazy as it sounds, could two different shows be "supernaturally spliced" one over the other? Why yes! Yes, I DO hear the theme of Rod Serling's "The Twighlight Zone" running through my mind..
My late wife recognized him at an airport many years ago. She asked him politely for an autograph and he shook his head no and waved her away with a sneer on his face. She thought he was very rude. He was just sitting there waiting.
The volume on this video is way too low. I do like the series, and have watched a number of episodes, but I had to dump this one, as the only way to hear it clearly would have been to cram the phone against my ear. I already had cancer once, and don't want brain cancer, so I never put the phone against my head. Sorry I can't watch this episode though. I like Jack Palance. I think that the first time I was allowed to stay up really late to watch a TV show, was for a Dracula movie, with Jack Palance doing an excellent job playing the blood sucking fiend. My father was watching it with me, but fell asleep on the sofa. My mother used to watch this show during chores when I was very young. I would often be hanging around while she did the chires, so I am familiar with a number of old shows she watched, and am now enjoying them decades later in my mid sixties, except for the soap operas. I've never liked soap operas. Real life is more than enough of a soap opera for me.
That City Slicker Took A Crap Bigger Than Billy Crystal, LOL ! I'll never forget his one armed pushup on the1992 Oscars. Jack Palance Was What Separated The Men From The Boys . 🌹
Obviously, the 1950's were far less "politically correct" than today (yet, conversely, certainly more mannerly and polite), but it's still a little jarring to hear Fred just come right out and tell the second contestant that he "looks heavy." Usually, the panelists would use polite euphemisms like "robust" or "healthy." Another example of Fred's alleged discomfort at being on the panel manifesting itself in what I'm assuming is unintentional rudeness. On a more pleasant note, Dorothy looks especially lovely tonight, with her black "wiggle" dress making her look unusually curvy.
+Todd Brandt Yeah, concerning DK : her dark locks and her earrings : channeling the va va voom girl of that moment , Gina Lollobrigida ....channeling her most successfully. How do I spell " wolf whistles " ????? rowrrrrr
+gcjerryusc I agree. Dorothy looked very attractive, as usual, but I think it would have been Arlene, whose figure was shown off perfectly by the cut of her gown, who would have been more likely to inspire plenty of "ooh la la" remarks by the guys. I know for certain that "Steve Morgan" would have whistled.

Jack's whispery voice gets me anytime. Brilliant actor and funny man.
Funny how?
Jack could not hide his unique voice. Same thing with Adam Devine.
This was a really great tv show but I don't think an updated version of this would work today.
You are correct, it would not work. As much as I love this show, I would not be interested in watching a 21st century version.

The Secret Service man has the most serious and executive look on his face. A no nonsense kinda look. Like "alright, let's get this over with so I can get back to work".
Get back to work arranging the coup D’etat. JFK
Bennett Cerf pronounced "Broadway" the same way that Susan Hayward did in "Valley of the Dolls". Broad-WAY.
Dorothy looks really wonderful on this episode.
R.I.P. Great american-ukrainen Star! Thanks Volodymir. 🇺🇦

I always liked jack palance.I watched Bronk,when new, and also his movie of Dracula, and Ripley's Believe it or Not.He created an LP, during the 1970's, and it can be had in CD form now.I can barely hear this.
He certainly was THE BEST Dracula EVER!!
Close caption 😊
They've had Van Heflin, Brandon deWilde and now Jack Palance......just waiting for Alan Ladd. :)
Lovely to see Palance smile so much without a hint any menace for once. :)
I NEVER KNEW his real was Ukranian! Also I've pronounced his name incorrectly all my life!!
Never Alan Ladd and even more sadly, never Jean Arthur, although I am not surprised given how shy she was.
Elisha Cook Jr. Was the unfortunate sod buster trying to get a drink.
@@dcasper8514 Elisha was an awesome character actor. Was great in Bogey flicks, especially The Big Sleep. Should have been on WML, too, imo. Too bad Jack did him in.
I will always remember Jack Palance as Jack the Ripper..I've seen it many times in a rerun tv show when I was a kid.
Great actor one of my favorites as a boy god bless him
Dorothy looks very chic in basic black and the hoop earrings.
This is so weird. I turned CC on since it's late and I don't want to turn the volume up but the subtitles are for an entirely different show. It's a poker game going on or something.
Same here!
Me, too
you have to go into settings and change it.
I have no idea why it is an option.
I watched a video of the Swedish chef from the muppets, they intentionally put in funny subtitles as an option.
that made sense there, especially since you can't understand the Swedish chef, but here, it makes no sense.
same thing happened to me
It just doesn't look right if Bennet isn't sitting on the far right, introducing John Charles Daley.
leo powers it doesn’t seem right if Bennett is anywhere on the panel.
Recently watched Jack In Shane - excellent acting
I dig young Palance's X-Men Wolverine style doo, very cool. He broke character a little talking to the light haired lady then the darker haired woman knew his voice, I think lol.
Jack was a great actor. Looks like he didn't have to change his hair-style (as seen here) much for his role as Dracula ! - LOL
The volume is barely existent, compared to other WML videos.
Use close caption 😊
I had to put my ear buds on. There is some captions going on during this show unrelated to this program.
same here
Jack looks like he should have been Batman, that mask was made for his broad face with the prominent cheekbones, his hair is spiked up like the bat ears
Check out “I died a thousand times”… A remake of Bogart‘s “High Sierra”
That particular movie died considerably more than a thousand times.
These shows started coming up in my recommended because I looked up Dorothy Killgalen in relation to JFK conspiracies. I had never heard of her. I’ve now watched a few of these and I knew who Tony Randall. I’ve never heard of most of the others, in the episodes I watched. I’ve never heard of Jack Palance. Interesting guy though.
I love that everyone is dressed up. They seem extremely polite and well mannered. Of course this aired 68 years ago and my grandpa is not even 68 years old. To me this is ancient.
Fred Allen was naturally hilarious!
Tell that to the younger generation that dislikes his dry wit😅
22:56 another name Cerf couldn't pronounce. It's Engelke, he calls her Engelcake.. 😂
Jack Palance!!
Palance mentions a film he did, "I Died A Thousand Times", a remake of the film "High Sierra". Palance played the role Bogart portrayed in "High Sierra".
That movie died considerably more than a thousand times.....
Jack Palance plays a really good
Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde. 1968.
He is excellent as a vicious Southern gang leader during the Civil War in:
The Desperadoes 1969,
unfortunately the film was hacked to pieces, carelessly censored, and totally ruined, more than any other movie of the time or since, and no complete print seems to be available anywhere.
What an actor
On utube😊
I can hardly hear this show. Does anyone else have a problem with this specific show?
I think you're right, the volume level is unusually low. I'm sorry to say though I really can't fix this. With my current setup it would take me hours to first fix it and then upload the replacement video. I hope it's not a problem in other shows-- this hasn't come up before.
Yes, I do and I've had similar problems with the last couple (in sequence) prior to this. It's not horrible, but a little low. Certainly not so bad as to spend a lot of time fixing it. I'm was just glad to find out the problem isn't on my end.
Yes, it's true that the audio portion is so low as to be almost incomprehensible. However, in such situations, I always keep a set of earphones handy--such as the ones I'm using right now! (It makes a world of difference.)
In this 1955-1957 collection the last 3 or 4 have been quieter. If you have a video editor open the video, "normalize" the audio and then re-render the video.
Nope. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only one. I saw the comments about people complaining about the low volume, but everything sounds just fine on my end. How strange. . . As always, quite enjoyable.
Please fix the sound on this video. Had my volume cranked up to max, and could barely understand what they were saying. Furthermore, I'm not deaf.

Jack, nice hair
🤣
Such clever quips!
Jack Palance's hair😳
Count Dracula
Edmund Baughman must be spinning in his grave over the problems with the Secret Service............
I wonder if the SS still deals with counterfit money?
@@libertyann439 Yes, it does.
In my collection I have I DIED A 1000 TIMES (A good Remake of HIGH SEIRRA) & THE BIG KNIFE with Ida Lupino, Rod Steiger etc.) I recommend, SUDDEN FEAR with Joan Crawford, Gloria Graham etc. (Film Noir)
All can be watched on utube😊
I just learned from the man himself that I've been pronouncing Jack Palance's name wrong all these years. I always thought it was PaLANCE. From now on, it will be PALance.
Yes, I'm right. I'm watching this from episode 1 through in order, and at first I thought it was a fluke, but it's not. There's the same boisterous and blustering guy yelling in the audience as part of the routine, week after week, the same guy. I understand they're plants, to rile the audience up. But yeesh, this is really over the top.
I’d noticed the laugh too and you’re correct that it could be a plant. But having been to a number of TV tapings I’ve seen the warm up guys laugh enthusiastically to try to get the crowd going. It’s also possible that it’s a member of the stage crew since directors and producers are sometimes at stage level during the shows.
@@cuttersboi08It's my friend Jim Obrian we were teenagers,and would take the train 15 cents each for token, from Brooklyn and watch the show. The theater was built above the train staion very noisy. No fee, we sat in the middle of the audience and Jim would hoot and hollar. Attended 2 x a month 😅
The GSN captions are sooooo distracting! Damn!
Anna Kaminski I can see a band of orange, green and yellow or whatever it is appear on screen announcing something but I make a point of not reading it. I'm determined to not let them distract me!!
Be thankful we can enjoy these precious memories 😊
jack palance is a tough cookie.
The Hollywood satire mentioned in the Jack Palance segment must be "The Big Knife" (1955), www.imdb.com/title/tt0047880/
Volume is to low on here and some others .
I'm not sure what the deal is but every program since about the beginning of Sep '55, the sound is barely audible. I've got my computer speakers on full blast and can barely hear the program.

There used to be 3 Thanksgiving parades? On the same day? Must have really tied up traffic! I guess they loved their parades back then.
Bamberger's parade was in Newark, New Jersey, home of the flagship store of that retail chain. Macy's bought them out but kept the Bamberger's name at this time, then folded them into their own chain later. Hudson's parade was in Detroit and as far as I know is still going on under the name of America's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Being it was a holiday very few people were going to work😊
Jack Palance is a good looking man.
Strange looking to me, Count Dracula
Jack Palance looks like Count Chocula
Lee Van Cliff and Jack Palance, my top "Bad Guys".
I think my favorite Palance movie was 'ATTACK!'
Due to the volume and missing some amusing banter between Mr. Baughmann and Mr. Daly, I turned CC (captions) on and imagine my surprise to see a conversation re: $2400 and $1500 are the subject matter. One of them is named Gabe. With a few other hints, I'm guessing it has something to do with gambling and cards! Hmm. Could this be the reason audio is so low? With my eyes I SEE WML, I see the text, they just don't fit together as crazy as it sounds, could two different shows be "supernaturally spliced" one over the other?
Why yes! Yes, I DO hear the theme of Rod Serling's "The Twighlight Zone" running through my mind..
holy jellyroll! Nice hair. :D
Is it just my imagination or is the CC for this episode from one of GSN poker games?
My late wife recognized him at an airport many years ago. She asked him politely for an autograph and he shook his head no and waved her away with a sneer on his face. She thought he was very rude. He was just sitting there waiting.
It gets extremely exhausting to be pestered by hundreds of😢 fans for a autograph
10:32 love his Muttley laugh!
Has anybody pressed subtitles on this? High stake poker game going on lol
That's really funny and strange! Wonder where those captions came from.
R.D. Dragon RUclips auto-generates them. But this time I think there was a bug in their software.
@@alskndlaskndal Game Show Network, they have their programs mixed up.
I've only seen him in City Slickers.
Back before they called it Animal Control
Jack Palance like Steve McQueen exudes raw sexuality!
Volodymyr Pahlaniuk (Ukrainian) was the original name of Jack Palance.
The volume on this video is way too low. I do like the series, and have watched a number of episodes, but I had to dump this one, as the only way to hear it clearly would have been to cram the phone against my ear. I already had cancer once, and don't want brain cancer, so I never put the phone against my head. Sorry I can't watch this episode though. I like Jack Palance. I think that the first time I was allowed to stay up really late to watch a TV show, was for a Dracula movie, with Jack Palance doing an excellent job playing the blood sucking fiend. My father was watching it with me, but fell asleep on the sofa.
My mother used to watch this show during chores when I was very young. I would often be hanging around while she did the chires, so I am familiar with a number of old shows she watched, and am now enjoying them decades later in my mid sixties, except for the soap operas. I've never liked soap operas. Real life is more than enough of a soap opera for me.

That City Slicker Took A Crap Bigger Than Billy Crystal, LOL !
I'll never forget his one armed pushup on the1992 Oscars. Jack Palance Was What Separated The Men From The Boys . 🌹
Obviously, the 1950's were far less "politically correct" than today (yet, conversely, certainly more mannerly and polite), but it's still a little jarring to hear Fred just come right out and tell the second contestant that he "looks heavy." Usually, the panelists would use polite euphemisms like "robust" or "healthy." Another example of Fred's alleged discomfort at being on the panel manifesting itself in what I'm assuming is unintentional rudeness.
On a more pleasant note, Dorothy looks especially lovely tonight, with her black "wiggle" dress making her look unusually curvy.
Todd Brandt True Todd, but you gotta admit that Fred's aside "he come to them...if it's downhill" is hilarious
+Todd Brandt Yeah, concerning DK : her dark locks and her earrings : channeling the va va voom girl of that moment , Gina Lollobrigida ....channeling her most successfully. How do I spell " wolf whistles " ????? rowrrrrr
+gcjerryusc
I agree. Dorothy looked very attractive, as usual, but I think it would have been Arlene, whose figure was shown off perfectly by the cut of her gown, who would have been more likely to inspire plenty of "ooh la la" remarks by the guys. I know for certain that "Steve Morgan" would have whistled.
I think Dorothy looks very chic here.
But he doesn’t look healthy, he’s fat. We could use some more of that honesty in 2022
Fred Allen sounds exactly like Humphrey Bogart. Sad the volume is so low.
Ho! Ho! Bennett admitted he was arrested for speeding!
Fred Allen: . . . but the dogs can't read your credentials.
The catcher read them to the dogs.
The closed captions are bizarre.
Jack Palance reminds me of Norm Macdonald
Really? There is only one Jack Palance. And too many Norm McDonald's.
I can see the resemblance.
Can't see the resemblance..
No
I see it
Hey it's a young Carl Grissom.
Jack Palance in Batman 1989 with Jack Nicholson
Can't understand why there is no modern version of this classic TV show, I'm sure it would be a hit again
Not without the same cast
Jack was a professional boxer in the 1930’s!
Hardly clever to have the Chief of the U.S. Secret Service on a TV game show
My grandma looks like Jack Palance.
Looks are deceiving. Can she do push-ups?
😂
