"Cleopatra" was a heck of a long way down the road from what Joe Mankiewicz did best as a producer "Philadelphia Story" "Woman of the Year" and as a writer director "Letter to Three Wives" and "All About Eve" -- highly literature sophisticated comedies.
Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Oscar wins were also quite a few years ago, as he alludes to in the post-game "chat" - but not as far distant as those won by the previous week's Mystery Guest, Bette Davis. In fact, his four Oscars were bunched together: two in 1950 (Best Director and Best Writing, Screenplay, for "A Letter to Three Wives") and two in 1951 (Best Director and Best Writing, Screenplay, for "All About Eve"). He and Lesser Samuels were also nominated for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay (which has become "Best Original Screenplay" today), for "No Way Out" in 1951. His other Academy Award nominations over the years were in 1931 (Best Writing, Adaptation for "Skippy" - along with Sam Mintz), 1941 (Best Picture, for "The Philadelphia Story"), 1953 (Best Director, for "5 Fingers"), 1955 (Best Writing, Story and Screenplay, for "The Barefoot Contessa") and 1973 (Best Director, for "Sleuth").
Joseph L. Mankiewicz: a "triple threat" man in Hollywood. Started as a writer in 1929, with the advent of the "all-sound" era (aka the "Pre-Code" era) in Hollywood, began producing films in the mid-1930s, began directing films after World War II. After "Cleopatra," he produced and directed a "United Nations Special" (sponsored by Xerox) for TV titled "A Carol for Another Christimas," an updating of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" by Rod Serling, in 1964; he wrote and directed the film "The Honey Pot," a modern version of "Volpone," in 1967; he produced and directed the film "There Was A Crooked Man....." in 1970; and he directed the film version of "Sleuth" in 1972. Contrary to what John Daly says, the title of the musical in which Jane Russell was starring (as Ella Peterson, I assume) in Westchester is "Bells Are Ringing," not "The Bells Are Ringing." While Miss Russell certainly did stage work hither, thither, and yon, her only Broadway performances were as Joanne in the original Broadway run of "Company" in 1971. (She entered the show as of 13 May 1971, replacing Elaine Stritch in the role; but IBDB is unclear as to how many performances she appeared in, and by the beginning of November Vivian Blaine was playing Joanne on Broadway.) And, once again, Jane Russell completely stumped the panel in the Mystery Guest segment! That's a great "false voice" that she uses. I'm sure that she was as pleased to stump them this time as she certainly was in 1957. Great to see Steve Allen back on the panel, too. The panel has a great time and a lot of fun with Steve there. But his next appearance on the show will be anything but "soon" - not until 19 January 1964, as guest panelist. (After that, of course, he appeared regularly as guest panelist (every month or couple of months) through the end of the show's run on CBS.)
These are great people with class and composer with an innate sense of morality , I miss this generation of people , as a child I remember feeling safe and secure because of them .
Arlene spoke of how she stretched her wardrobe by wear the same outfit different ways and by borrowing from friends. Here she is wearing a coat over the outfit she wore earlier without the jacket. One of my favorite looks of hers.
After the demise of the studio system the stars had to find a way to carry on, hence Jane's appearances in supper clubs. By 1962 the Hollywood studios were a mere shell of themselves.
Rest In Peace Mrs. Kilgallen, you shone too bright and the dim snuffed you out in your prime. One of the worst tragedies to happen to literature and humanity
Jane Russell's mystery guest appearance is one of the most memorable ever. First of all, she looks a treat all the way around. And that palooka voice with a head cold. LOL My favorite comment about Howard Hughes ' film "The Outlaw" in which Hughes . . . . uh -- obsessed over her to bring her to greater public attention came from Andrew Sarris who wrote of it, in essence: There are three reasons why every red-blooded American boy should see this film. Two are obvious. The third exploded over Hiroshima in 1945.
Rumor has it that the film she starred in with Frank Sinatra and Groucho was retitled "Double Dynamite" in reference to her. . . physique. Cause it has absolutely no other relationship whatsoever with the film.
In his gossipy (and not in the best sense of the word; I'm sure Samuel Goldwyn's family will agree) book "Hollywood", Garson Kanin wrote that one day in New York, he and George S. Kaufman were walking down Broadway and counted five billboards with an alluring picture of Jane Russell advertising this film, prompting Kaufman to remark: "They ought to call it 'A Sale of Two Titties'."
Jane Russell... she did all these commercials for “cross your heart” bras or something like that. Obviously not something I needed (!) but the commercials were very memorable. She was very beautiful here too
Not "SOMETHING LIKE THAT", but exactly that....the Playtex Cross Your Heart bra. I think that was a clever stroke of inspiration on the part of the Playtex advertising department. Good memory, Gary!
After an abortion nearly killed her at age 18, Jane Russell became a devout Christian for the rest of her life. At the height of her fame as a Hollywood glamor girl she was hosting a weekly Bible study group at her home.
bigwave2003 what almost killed her was an "illegal" abortion, one performed without any medical oversight. russell is typical of a guilt ridden ex-alcoholic, trying to overcompensate by making life difficult on everyone else.
@@bweatherman3345 Abortion is a sad reality and often times a necessity.and women died when it was illegal. It is neither a baby or a child at that stage. I suggest we take care of the children who ARE born that are neglected and suffering and stay out of other people's private lives of which the rest.of us have no vested interest whatsoever.

It was so nice having Steve back and having at last for over 40 shows having a proper special guest panelist, not just a joke. I wish they would keep him on. The joke panelists are getting beyond a joke.
Those guest panelists who think they are (being) funny are annoying, and they can often waste a lot of unnecessary program time by way of "engaging" in these non-descript facial expressions and "pregnant pauses" in their attempt at being funny.
When I hear their violin theme song, I think they are taking something that makes them play so fast! :) They sure move! Those strings must be pretty hot!
Mankiewicz thought he was done with Cleo at this point, but he wasn't. He would throw a fit when he saw the editing job and would convince then-Fox head Zanuck to rehire him to re-edit. Mankiewicz restored some scenes and then went to Europe for even more shooting in early '63, including a major battle scene with 2,000 extras. When the endless production finally ended, it was a miracle that Mankiewicz and Wanger had something that was critically praised and turned a small profit.
I love watching these reruns. But I absolutely hate when they squeeze the last contestant in. They wasted so many great professions by rushing the last guest.
RE: "Cleopatra." (Fox 1963) Sometimes referred to as that 4-hour vehicle for the Burton-Taylor affair. At this point it had been in production for three years, had nearly killed Liz Taylor, and did her marriage to Eddie Fisher no earthly good. Mankiewicz was the second director and also somehow managed to become the head writer of the whole blessed undertaking. Ideally, the project should have been a two part movie "Caesar and Cleopatra 1963" then "Anthony and Cleopatra 1964" but Daryl Zanuck panicked about its finances and whether it would recover its monument outlay of cash. So he butchered it into one big four-hour movie. It did eventually make money -- but it would be better as two films.
I was in high school when it came out, and I remember that two different critics wrote, "It would have been a great silent movie." Still, showing Cleopatra entering Rome through the Arch of Constantine...
Eventually Cleopatra made a profit, but that was years later. It would be darned interesting to know if enough of the 6 hours survives for a two-part restoration
The Fisher/Taylor marriage deserved the world's most horrible death exclusively because of the way Eddie deserted his wife Debbie Reynolds to be with Little Lizzie. And I'm glad Fisher's singing career tanked, too. Like they say: Karma's a B*tch!
Since the gorgeous Jane Russell appeared on this episode of 'What's My Line', I wonder if her equally stunning 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' co-star Marilyn Monroe was ever on it, too? Can anyone here tell me if she did?
What's My Line? soulierinvestments ***** Do any of you have any idea what prompted Bennett's introduction of John Daly as "My son, the moderator?" It seemed to be an inside joke between them, and perhaps it related to something that had been said in the media during the week, but there was no explanation about it during this episode (unless I missed it somehow), though they referred jokingly to that father-son relationship several times.
***** Yes, I'm sure that album title inspired the way he phrased the introduction, but I'm puzzled about the context that led him to joke about a father-son relationship between them.
SaveThe TPC I don't think there was any further context, honestly. I think this is just another case of your grasping to find any meaning beyond a totally shallow one in one of Bennett's "jokes". Just a play on the album title, I think. ;)
I wonder if the audience knew who Joe Mankiewicz was even after his line was shown? NY crowds were hip, yeah, but I think you would either have to be a real film buff back then, or at least keep track of the trade papers to know who he was. Good choice, though, as everyone on the panel should have been able to guess (I'm only 3:28 in) his identity.
Joe Postove I would suspect most people in those days would know who he was whether they were film buffs or not. He was a writer, director and producer of numerous big name films and was a 4 time Oscar winner.
@@shirleyrombough8173 There is an entire military uniform with one of those interesting caps with straps and all sorts of paraphernalia that actually meant the moustache gave away what he does.

Scotland and bagpipes go together very well, maybe Mr. Daly shouldn't have mentioned where the young man was from. Well at least he didn't have on the traditional garb, dead giveaway.
I think a bagpipe is in the same category as a banjo. But a bagpipe is played very loudly, and it literally hurts my head when I (have to...or otherwise) listen to one; and it seems to play nondescript melodies. I think the only successful song that a bagpipe can get through is "Amazing Grace," a title that certainly does NOT define a bagpipe!
