Mark Harrison, were you there? Why are you certain of your claims? Either way, the pregnancy did not break them up. Patricia Neal has previously stated how she "deeply loved Cooper", these are her own words I quote, unlike you. In any event, the pregnancy and how the couple involved (meaning not you) dealt with it is and was their own business. Are you without sin? Then don't throw stones. MYOB.
Genuine applause for a genuine star- a legend. The whispers in the audience say it all. Sad to say Mr Cooper was gone soon after, about a year and a half in fact. He went out with class.
Even when he knew he was dying, he still made movies, went on vacations, hosted parties, and played golf. He had exquisite taste in clothes and cars. His friends were Hemingway, Picasso, Ferrari, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, The Pope! He was fabulously wealthy. He was a suoerstar.
@@MarkHarrison733 ....According to some questionable reports, and, really, who gives a fuck if he might have favoured a cock as a change from all his many sexual dalliances with women? Big deal.
Gary is my favorite. Loved him in Pride of the Yankees. He made me cry in that one. I loved him in Sgt. York, and he was amazing in High Noon. God rest him
Ithink it's a mark of a great actor that they can convey so much without needing to open speak. Cooper was one. I wish he'd lived his allotted span and let us more work instead of dying early.
Note how warmly Coop greats the panelists, including stopping to shake Anthony Perkins' hand with both his hands. (Coop played Jess Birdwell in Friendly Persuasion from 1956 and Tony played his son, Josh.)
"Friendly Persuasion" was such a great family film, the likes of which we don't see today. And it's filled with such humour: the forbidden (to Quakers, at least in the movie) organ in the attic, the (forbidden/frowned-upon) horse and buggy races to church on Sundays, and the feud between the younger son and the mother's (the beautiful Dorothy McGuire) pet goose. Seeing the movie at age 11, I thought Anthony Perkins was the cat's meow. Michael Wilson adapted the screenplay from the novel (though some amendments were later made), but his name wasn't allowed to be included on the Academy Awards ballot because he was blacklisted for rightly refusing to co-operate with the House Un-American Activities Committee.
The first time I saw Mr Cooper was High Noon. I was only 12. And most of the story went over my head But over the years I have seen all his work. In a word outstanding Well acted and written. He was not just a cowboy
One movie that followed the novel very closely was To Kill a Mockingbird. One of my favorite movies. If I see it is to be shown on Turner Classic Movies or any other venue I am sure to make time to see it.
The respect everyone has for each other is wonderful. The so called movie stars of today could learn a lot from these pple. Love watching this program.

There wasn't much media back then. More media exposure today. Don't but this, they were better back. More hidden back then, like the church. Not aimed personally at you BTW.
@Anna Kaminski 🌿 Yes, Anna they were polite and friendly across the board...you might even say blindly so. All except for Tony Perkins who asked the WHALER if he worked to make life better for the animals. Tony would be the one who'd be tuned in to looking at whaling as a heinous business first. I'm sure the rest of the stars became aware soon after. It was disgusting to see the self-satisfied grin on the "captain's" face. So happy most of us have aligned with the whales and other creatures. 🐳🐬🦈💜
@@williamlawlor7445 🌿 Your comment explains perfectly why the WHALING "CAPTAIN" was greeted with blind hospitality. Most of the world's people were not in sync with or as understanding of animals as we are now. Tony Perkins touched on awareness with his question about whether or not the occupation was geared at helping the animals involved. I hope it wasn't long before someone wiped that self-satisfied grin off the guest's face. 🐳🦈🐬💜
Both the ladies look so elegant this evening. I just love Arlene's gown & gloves, I would love to have a place to go that I could wear that! Her hair is amazing too!!! ❤️
Mr. Cooper was my idol as a young lad watching his heroics on the silver screen. He NEVER let me down, and I learned a great deal by just observing him on screen. A young lad never had a better example to follow than this exemplary human being.
My heart goes out here because Gary Cooper at this point in time soon took ill and ended up leaving this world far too soon. Class act one of the true greats a real movie star.
Mr. Cooper would die from Cancer a year and a half after this show. I believe I read somewhere that he weighed 85 pounds when he passed away. He looked pretty strong here put Cancer has a way of sneaking up on you and progressing very fast, a very inhuman disease to say the least......may he rest in peace. I am a Cancer survivor
Not only had the Mystery Guest and the Guest Panelist starred together in a movie, both of them had already portrayed well-known Major League Baseball players who became known for their medical situation in addition to their talent on the field.
I agree. She does look lovely and I think she’s a little more “sassy” tonight! I read recently (I think Wikipedia) that she was mugged some time in the 80’s and the theif stole her heart pendant necklace the she wears frequently on the show. 😞
I saw Tony Perkins standing in front of me in a grocery line in Gelsons, it was a few years before he passed around 1986. I hardly recognized him at first.
Cooper was someone who recognized that he had been blessed and worked hard to live up to his good fortune. That recognition is seen in his humility. That seems lacking in this time. Knowing that one does not know. We seem confident in our ignorance. Too bad for us.
It's amazing how well Gary Cooper looks, considering that within 6 months, he was operated on for cancer and, ultimately, died in May of 1961. Great actor. Very sad.
figracula1 If you look carefully at how he gets up and moves rather slightly hunched over, to me, he looked like he was in some discomfort, poor man. This was over 60 years ago.
@@marjoriemargel1567 He was a horseman, and had an ancient riding injury from his pre-Hollywood days, but I saw he had trouble sitting down, the way he eased into his chair
I love what Dorothy & Arlene are wearing tonight, so classy💜💜💜 Anthony Perkins was the perfect guy for Norman Bates in Psycho with those dark dark eyes!!
Gary Cooper will always be at the top of my list...He could say so much w/o even saying a word... That's how brilliant he was, how adeptly he could become, express his character...Amazing... TY, Coop, for leaving us your incredible work! 💞🎬📽🎬💞
Gary Cooper, one if the greatest stars of all time. He had his faults, but he admitted to it and tried to do right by his family for what he did. Can't help but admire him for it. He was the strong, silent man that I LOVE!!!! He reminded me of my Grandpa in that sense. RIP Gary🙏😪
They don't make movie stars like that anymore. Cooper was one of a kind. And he had less than two years to live. Take life seriously folks. We only get one
Jimmy Stewart. And James Cagney, who was all too often typecast as a gangster, but who also did song and dance, biographies and comedies. (Orson Wells and George C. Scott both said that Cagney was one of the, if not THE, best actor they ever saw).
One of the things I love about this show aside from the class and elegance is that it often helped people realize women could do real jobs that contribute to their community. It also highlighted the variety of jobs it takes to make a community function and showed all of them respect, from the garbage collector to the mayor.
@@Fred-mp1vf Absolutely! Being a good mother takes so much intelligence and effort. But at the time, while motherhood was respected, womanhood wasn't. Women weren't even allowed to open a bank account without their husband or father's permission. And unfortunately, even women who start adult life wanting the traditional home don't get it. Either she never gets married or she does and has kids and then is single again, either through death or divorce and then has to provide for herself and her children. Shows like this one showed them and the world that they could do it.
I thought it was very nice of Mr. Daly to also acknowledge that Mrs. Yates was not a mere trash collector though, but that she in fact also OWNED the local company for her town (Lake Placid, Florida, which is actually a pretty interesting community, they grow most of the world's supply of caladium bulbs). A pretty impressive accomplishment for a lady like her (at least in that era).
gary cooper when young....was considered one of the most attractive men to ever appear in film....yet he preferred working on cars than making movies.....in fact...people were amazed that during a scene it appeared as if cooper was doing nothing at all..but once you watched the film....he became amazing.....Orson Wells describes all this best in his interviews... one last point...gary cooper was the only actor Alvin York would allow to portray him...and that is why Sergeant York was made
Amazing and most loved Gary Cooper guests on this classic episode. What cracked me up was when Mr. Cooper constantly kept saying, "And...Um" during his chat with John Daly and the panelists. 🤩
Right! That one was aggravating to watch, because it was blatant misdirection that wasted time. I would like to have seen how differently it would have gone if it was properly described as a service. I think the questioning would have been more interesting. The whaler guy was creepy, I agree... UGH
garbage collection is a service that removes a product. the question was, is there a product involved, which there is. the panel chose to run with the product.
@@rosemma34 - people make a lot of money selling waste as a product. Vegetable oil from fryalators goes into animal feed. Sawdust from furniture manufacture goes into wood stove blocks. Metal shavings from manufacturers gets melted down and sold for metal manufacturing. Many times the garbage collector has to pay someone to take his garbage. Some places burn garbage to make electricity. If you sell it and someone buys it, it is a product.
Six months later during April 1960, Gary Cooper was seen presenting the award for best picture at The 32nd Annual Academy Awards, which would turn out to be the very last time he appeared on camera on television. He then spent the rest of 1960 in London, England, filming and completing what would turn out to be the last picture he starred in: A British/American picture, which he starred with Deborah Kerr, Hermione Gingold, and Peter Cushing in called "The Naked Edge". In May of 1961, Gary Cooper died.
There was a morbid foreshadowing in Cooper's Academy Award appearance. He awarded the best film Oscar to "Ben Hur" to the widow of the late producer Sam Zimbalist, one of two posthumous awards given to the late staff members of "Ben Hur"
1 John Daly conducts one of his most memorable mystery guest interviews, proving yet again he could do it better than Larry Blyden when he put his mind to it. 2 The show reunited Gary Cooper with his screen son from William Wyler’s “Friendly Persuasion.” 3 Gary Cooper. 4 Cooper is in top form talking Hollywood and East-West movie politics. Add it all up: one of the top ten mystery guest spots ever in Sunday night WML.
If only John put his mind to it more often! He absolutely could pull off interesting interviews when he wanted to, but most often, he waxed eloquent and reduced the person sitting next to him to the same "yes" and "no" responses they were restricted to during the game itself.
The-Our-Arlene-Sophisticated-Woman-of-the-World Department: the way Arlene Francis purrs “I have a delicious feeling all over” and the way she looks at and smiles at Gary Cooper suggests she hopes she can take him out for a drink afterward and get lucky.
Anthony Perkins. Oh my yes. Early luscious period. “On the Beach” was Stanley Kramer’s drama about the end of the world in Australia. Not exactly light entertainment with laughs. The WML production staff liked Tony a lot - he appeared often enough either as a panelist or a mystery guest. He was on the panel that memorable night that Arlene wore an eye patch, and a female Arkansas justice of the peace came as a contestant. And he was on the panel that memorable night of three guest panelists and Dorothy Kilgallen as mystery guest.
Tony Perkins was just gorgeous-- and a very talented actor who got typecast, unfortunately, as Norman Bates-types. He was absolutely perfect in Orson Welles's "The Trial" as Joseph K, bringing a whole extra dimension to the role by virtue of the discomfort you sense in his character's scenes with beautiful women. A vastly underrated actor, he's remembered today really only for "Psycho", but he had a much wider range of character types he could play.
Jackie Phillips Well, Anthony Perkins tried to escape typecasting by making movies in France for a number of years before coming back. Unfortunately, one of his first movies he made upon rearrival in America involved him playing a convicted arsonist who also was a compulsive liar, and even though the role had very little similarities for Norman Bates, it seemed to cement his typecast. He continued trying to dodge the typecast for a number of years, but as the years progressed there was very little he could do but embrace his typecasting in order to continue making movies. He stated that his typecasting really frustrated him, but he never harbored any negative feelings towards Psycho and enjoyed playing Norman Bates. So no, it was not necessarily a willing choice, but when you're an actor that has to make money someway, the only thing he COULD do is take up the roles offered to him, all of which were very Norman Bates-ish. However, he did have a number of successful roles on Broadway, so he frequented the stage as well, which gave him a break from it. However, in the late 80s he suffered from AIDS and once again, there was very little he could do but play Norman Bates roles over and over to support his family somehow.
KEN RETHERFORD In seven words you managed to make two errors, which may be a record. Her husband's name was Gabel and he was smart. You also fail to see what is obvious to most of us: they really loved each other deeply. If you're focused on superficial matters, you may think his looks wouldn't have attracted her, and it's true that he didn't age as well as she did (who did?). But look up a photo from when he played Danton in the 1930s; that may give you a hint too.
KEN RETHERFORD your silly remark was made two years ago yet is so asinine one would think you would have taken it down by now. To judge a good intelligent talented man so harshly without knowing anything about him is ridiculous. All you had to do was Google his name.
Martin Gabel was a charming and very sophisticated gentleman who was quite handsome in his younger years, especially when married Arlene Francis in 1946. His voice had rich and articulate tones which would have made him perfect for Shakespearean drama. He is one of my favorite panelists on this fantastic show.
This program is a snapshot from a different time. The ladies, in regal evening gowns, bejeweled, and wearing elegant gloves, who glide onto stage knowing full well that they are dazzling to look at. The gentlemen, in tuxedos and bowties, looking handsome, confident and completely at ease. And this is a half-hour panel show. My, my, how times have changed.
Sam, You are the ONLY commenter, that I've seen, that has said anything about the whale captain It sickens me actually that no body cares or is informed about those beautiful, intelligent mammals that humans hunted then and killed for "the almighty buck"
When the chief of the police in Rome was a guest using an interpreter, it was clear that John knew enough Italian to understand much of the conversation and to clarify some difficult points in the translation. He seemed to be on top of any French and Spanish phrases used by mystery guests pretending not to be native English speakers, too, though those were usually well-known idioms, so not a very good test of how far his fluency went.
The thing is, is that the people on the panel knew EVERYTHING that was going on in NYC. Who was in town, what films were playing or premiering, what plays were ongoing, etc..
“They Came to Cordura” had a bad effect on the career of Dick York,.one of the supporting actors. During a sequence involving a train track handcart, York injured his back so badly and thoroughly that he had severe pain problems thereafter. This led to a drug - pain killer addiction that ended his acting career suddenly / precipitously in 1968 at its height when he co-starred with Elizabeth Montgomery in the sitcom “Bewitched.” At the end of his life in the early 1990s, he was pretty much bed fast, but he did significantly work by phone in his charitable causes up to the end.
Dick York's departure from "Bewitched" was a negative for the show, also. As I recall, it only lasted one season with Dick Sargent as Darren. While York would bluster, he never lost his quality as a sympathetic character. Sargent's anger came across as mean-spirited in my view. I couldn't feel sympathetic towards him.
Wow, Mr. Cerf was more than a publisher, he was a bookworm. He must've had a library in his head. They came to Cordura was a big movie in 1959 and he already read and published it. I don't even think the term nerd would be one to describe his love of books. Very interesting.
One thing that's changed over the years is an attitude towards animal hunters. I don't think whaling captains would be as accepted today as much as they were in the Fifties. Anthony Perkins did indicate the difference between harming animals and helping them, but he still gladly shook the captain's hand.
Wow the audience whispering and talking when he walks in.... geniuinely stunned. He would have been one of the biggest stars on this show, along with Errol Flynn and James Stewart I guess.
Arlene: "Is there anything dangerous about this product?" John: "No." Good grief! A key reason garbage is picked up and disposed of is so that it will not stand around in a city and rot, thereby creating potential health problems (see any good history of the Middle Ages). Under certain circumstances, as John Daly might say, garbage is certainly dangerous and it is amazing that it did not occur to either Daly or Edna L. Yates that that was a very good reason why she had a job.
romeman01 You are perfectly right, both about the importance of her work as a Garbage Collector, and the potential danger in rotten food/garbage. I think this panel exclusively used the word "dangerous" in terms of being explosives, weapons, and even predators as tigers, crocodiles, etc. The plagues of The Middle Ages were obviously a result of the lack of hygienic standards in the cities, but there's no need to go further back than few years ago, when a garbage-strike in Southern Europe during a heatwawe(!) caused increasing diseas and deaths among people in the poor parts of the cities. (By the way, In the ancient world, like Greece, Rome, Ethiopia and India, the hygienic standard in bigger cities were on a much higher level, than our European Middle Ages!)
When they say dangerous they mean immediate threat. Weapons, explosives, toxins. They've had contestants be of such professions. You can drown in water, but no one says selling bottles of water is selling a dangerous product, but look up dihydrogen monoxide which people sell among its other uses.
@@rosemma34 this was one of many times when a service occupation gets confused with there being a substance involved that isn't produced by the work being done.
Just an interesting note. The government of South Africa did not allow television in their country until 1976. I know a lot of South African's here in Israel, and I've asked them about this, and they really didn't miss something they never had, They went to the movies, theater, and radio was quite old American style until TV took over. The country was a democracy for white's but it was a very conservative and highly regulated environment.
+Narvelan Coleman Great story about your connection to a turning point in history. Those were some great acts on the bill. And you were certainly much farther than 25 miles from home! I'd love to know what the audiences were like in terms of race, seating if multi-racial, and the reactions. If it was multi-racial, was there any sense that the crowd was somewhat distracted at first by the novelty of that situation and it took some extra effort by the performers to warm up the crowd and get their attention focused on the stage show. About ten years before you went to South Africa on this tour, when I was a freshman in HS, our English teacher assigned "Cry the Beloved Country" by Alan Paton. It was quite an eye opener, and changed the way I looked at the world in terms of injustice, racism and power. Some more of my innocence was gone and I was a little more grown up as a result. It was a fair and worthwhile trade.
Lois Simmons, it looks like the post you were commenting on in this thread has been removed. I grew up in South Africa when there was no television allowed. And I don’t know at what point audiences at anything public became integrated. Fortunately we had opportunity to visit there in more recent years and it was good to see integration normalized in their TV programs, at a large church we visited, a stadium, and the elementary school I attended (though the black students were bussed in). The “white” suburb was still predominantly white, but no longer by compulsion. My parents were missionaries who ministered regularly in five black townships, where we were not permitted to live or even enter without a permit from the government. Segregation was more than separating blacks and whites. Different black tribes (very hostile toward each other and speaking their individual languages) were separated from one another in separate townships. My parents once tried to hold a youth camp in the countryside for youth from the different townships they served to come together, and found it didn’t work too well. The animosities between tribes ran deep. I always thought that was a big reason why apartheid survived as long as it did. When I was growing up, blacks outnumbered whites 5 to 1. There was a lot of fear, but blacks were so divided, they could not get together. We always felt that civil war was inevitable. We had already left when the miracle of dismantling apartheid happened peacefully, thanks to a lot of prayer and the efforts of Nelson Mandela and Mr. de Klerk. I should read Cry, the Beloved Country. At the time it was popular, it was just too painful for me to read. I had been pretty oblivious of the true horrors going on as I was growing up. I think that keeping television from the populace was deliberate. Satellite dishes to receive programs from outside the country were forbidden. 🚫 My father did listen to news on shortwave radio. I think that radio is still in the family somewhere.
@grant Bob Why would you think that? I am an American who spent my childhood growing up in South Africa. My husband and I got to visit at least three times between 1972 and 2008. I feel nostalgic about my growing up years and my childhood friends in what I remember as a beautiful country, but saddened by many things, including the crime rate.
My father met Gary Cooper in 1948, when my dad worked for his brother in law in Southern Utah at his gas/service station. Mr. Cooper stopped to get gas, gave my dad his autograph, which I still have.
At 20:00 John Daly mentioned the movie with Gary Cooper They CAME To Condora 1959. This is also the film in which actor Dick York tore his back causing great pain so much that he had to quit Bewitched (in 1969).
It really can't have been easy for Daly, to give any aid with the answers, when it comes to questions like "Hunting" or "Rural areas" with the Whaling Captain and "useful rather than luxury" with the Garbage Collector! ;D
It's really lovely how women from all walks of life showed up for these appearances dressed so beautifully.
Gary Cooper was sooooo humble. Today's so called movie stars could learn from him.
Mr. Cooper was one class act, humble, self effacing and very talented, the likes of which we'll probably never see again.
You may be right, but Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood both exhibit those characteristics as well.
One word and some of us would know that voice...Born Actor!

Mr. Cooper was very well spoken and had a wonderful sense of humor! What a fabulous actor and so admired. Just a wonderful guy! 🥰
What an amazing blast from the past. You did a wonderful job restoring and posting these.
yes, love this show!
Yes! Thank you very much!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Gary Cooper seems like a very warm humble man.
Arlene! That dress looks great on her. She was stunning here.(She always looks great)
Dorothy looked beautiful too always
I totally agree. Arlene is really beautiful tonight.
I agree. She does look lovely and I think she’s a little more “sassy” tonight! I read recently (I think Wikipedia) that she was mugged some time in the 80’s and the theif stole her heart pendant necklace the she wears frequently on the show. 😞
@@geezelouise2177 Yeah I know. And its was sad because her husband had given it to her and at the time of the mugging he was no longer living.
I saw Tony Perkins standing in front of me in a grocery line in Gelsons, it was a few years before he passed around 1986. I hardly recognized him at first.
Cooper was someone who recognized that he had been blessed and worked hard to live up to his good fortune. That recognition is seen in his humility. That seems lacking in this time. Knowing that one does not know. We seem confident in our ignorance. Too bad for us.
Gary Cooper had such a boyish charm about him and at the same time as able to be the rough and tough cowboy...he was a REAL MAN.😍🥰
It's amazing how well Gary Cooper looks, considering that within 6 months, he was operated on for cancer and, ultimately, died in May of 1961. Great actor. Very sad.
figracula1 If you look carefully at how he gets up and moves rather slightly hunched over, to me, he looked like he was in some discomfort, poor man. This was over 60 years ago.
@@marjoriemargel1567 He was a horseman, and had an ancient riding injury from his pre-Hollywood days, but I saw he had trouble sitting down, the way he eased into his chair
I love what Dorothy & Arlene are wearing tonight, so classy💜💜💜 Anthony Perkins was the perfect guy for Norman Bates in Psycho with those dark dark eyes!!
His eye expression was like that of a psychotic, but of course he was a fine actor and fellow.
If only we still dressed with such class and conducted ourselves with such Grace.
Gary Cooper will always be at the top of my list...He could say so much w/o even saying a word...
That's how brilliant he was, how adeptly he could become, express his character...Amazing...
TY, Coop, for leaving us your incredible work! 💞🎬📽🎬💞
Gary Cooper is my all time favorite actor!!!
Gary Cooper, one if the greatest stars of all time. He had his faults, but he admitted to it and tried to do right by his family for what he did. Can't help but admire him for it. He was the strong, silent man that I LOVE!!!! He reminded me of my Grandpa in that sense. RIP Gary🙏😪
I can wear those dresses today. So beautiful and modern. Love 50s fashion
They don't make movie stars like that anymore. Cooper was one of a kind. And he had less than two years to live. Take life seriously folks. We only get one
Doby Pilgrim - Amen to that.
Gary Cooper along with John Wayne are the greatest movie stars that exist, for me. There are no others like them.
Marlon Brando ? James Dean ? Al Pacino ? Robert DeNiro ? Anthony Hopkins ? I would place all 5 of those on equal footing with Cooper and Wayne.
Jimmy Stewart. And James Cagney, who was all too often typecast as a gangster, but who also did song and dance, biographies and comedies. (Orson Wells and George C. Scott both said that Cagney was one of the, if not THE, best actor they ever saw).
@@Walterwhiterocks their peers Fonda and Stewart likewise, imo
@nancypine9952 Waal, I don't think Cagney's output has aged well. A bit of a ham....
Waal, some of the biggest stars weren't very good actors.Some people could manage both.
One of the things I love about this show aside from the class and elegance is that it often helped people realize women could do real jobs that contribute to their community. It also highlighted the variety of jobs it takes to make a community function and showed all of them respect, from the garbage collector to the mayor.
Of course, being a mother also contributes tremendously to society. "The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world."
@@Fred-mp1vf Absolutely! Being a good mother takes so much intelligence and effort. But at the time, while motherhood was respected, womanhood wasn't. Women weren't even allowed to open a bank account without their husband or father's permission. And unfortunately, even women who start adult life wanting the traditional home don't get it. Either she never gets married or she does and has kids and then is single again, either through death or divorce and then has to provide for herself and her children. Shows like this one showed them and the world that they could do it.
I thought it was very nice of Mr. Daly to also acknowledge that Mrs. Yates was not a mere trash collector though, but that she in fact also OWNED the local company for her town (Lake Placid, Florida, which is actually a pretty interesting community, they grow most of the world's supply of caladium bulbs). A pretty impressive accomplishment for a lady like her (at least in that era).
I had such a crush on Gary Cooper. I remember when he died in 1961 when I was going on 15 and I felt so sad. I have seen so many of his movies too.
Delightful panel. Great show.
Very interesting Mr. Cooper seems very humble and shy at the same time. One of my dad's favorite actors along with John Wayne.
Just started watching this one and had to stop to type...WOW Dorothy looks FANTASTIC!!
whoa and Arlene too...as always!!!..I JUST LOVE THIS SHOW!!
They're both really beautiful here!!!
Dorothy is stunning here
gary cooper when young....was considered one of the most attractive men to ever appear in film....yet he preferred working on cars than making movies.....in fact...people were amazed that during a scene it appeared as if cooper was doing nothing at all..but once you watched the film....he became amazing.....Orson Wells describes all this best in his interviews...
one last point...gary cooper was the only actor Alvin York would allow to portray him...and that is why Sergeant York was made
mr. cooper was a great actor and class act!! died not quite one week after his 60th birthday. 😔
How fitting that in watching these in date order, I watched this show on Gary Cooper’s birthday! May 7th. 💙
As Jimmy Stewart famously said. We’ll get this to you Coop.
Such a shy and humble man, just like Jimmy Stewart.
Stewart was a racist.
Gary's voice was too distinctive.
Amazing and most loved Gary Cooper guests on this classic episode. What cracked me up was when Mr. Cooper constantly kept saying, "And...Um" during his chat with John Daly and the panelists.
🤩
There is no product involved in garbage collection, that was misleading. It's a service.
@Andromeda There are multiple products in garbage, majorly used products, but a plethora of products nonetheless.
Yes, garbage is a product.
can you imagine this kind of consulting..between the host and guest... i miss the old times and these even older ones
whaling - UGH. Garbage collection is not a product, but a service.
Right! That one was aggravating to watch, because it was blatant misdirection that wasted time. I would like to have seen how differently it would have gone if it was properly described as a service. I think the questioning would have been more interesting.
The whaler guy was creepy, I agree... UGH
garbage collection is a service that removes a product.
the question was, is there a product involved, which there is. the panel chose to run with the product.
@@MrYfrank14 garbage is waste, not product
@@rosemma34 - people make a lot of money selling waste as a product.
Vegetable oil from fryalators goes into animal feed. Sawdust from furniture manufacture goes into wood stove blocks.
Metal shavings from manufacturers gets melted down and sold for metal manufacturing.
Many times the garbage collector has to pay someone to take his garbage.
Some places burn garbage to make electricity.
If you sell it and someone buys it, it is a product.
@@MrYfrank14 please
Classy, humble, great people.
love to have that board with all those signatures
Loved all of his movies. Such a handsome man.
What a lovely gentleman! May he R.I.P.
I honestly just watch these for Tony. I adore him.
same here!!
FIDGETY.
same
Me too
Six months later during April 1960, Gary Cooper was seen presenting the award for best picture at The 32nd Annual Academy Awards, which would turn out to be the very last time he appeared on camera on television.
He then spent the rest of 1960 in London, England, filming and completing what would turn out to be the last picture he starred in: A British/American picture, which he starred with Deborah Kerr, Hermione Gingold, and Peter Cushing in called "The Naked Edge".
In May of 1961, Gary Cooper died.
There was a morbid foreshadowing in Cooper's Academy Award appearance. He awarded the best film Oscar to "Ben Hur" to the widow of the late producer Sam Zimbalist, one of two posthumous awards given to the late staff members of "Ben Hur"
1 John Daly conducts one of his most memorable mystery guest interviews, proving yet again he could do it better than Larry Blyden when he put his mind to it. 2 The show reunited Gary Cooper with his screen son from William Wyler’s “Friendly Persuasion.” 3 Gary Cooper. 4 Cooper is in top form talking Hollywood and East-West movie politics. Add it all up: one of the top ten mystery guest spots ever in Sunday night WML.
If only John put his mind to it more often! He absolutely could pull off interesting interviews when he wanted to, but most often, he waxed eloquent and reduced the person sitting next to him to the same "yes" and "no" responses they were restricted to during the game itself.
To even mention Larry Blyden in the same sentence as John Charles Daly is an insult to Daly.
The-Our-Arlene-Sophisticated-Woman-of-the-World Department: the way Arlene Francis purrs “I have a delicious feeling all over” and the way she looks at and smiles at Gary Cooper suggests she hopes she can take him out for a drink afterward and get lucky.
soulierinvestments - I betcha she never did anything like that.
Anthony Perkins. Oh my yes. Early luscious period. “On the Beach” was Stanley Kramer’s drama about the end of the world in Australia. Not exactly light entertainment with laughs. The WML production staff liked Tony a lot - he appeared often enough either as a panelist or a mystery guest. He was on the panel that memorable night that Arlene wore an eye patch, and a female Arkansas justice of the peace came as a contestant. And he was on the panel that memorable night of three guest panelists and Dorothy Kilgallen as mystery guest.
Tony Perkins was just gorgeous-- and a very talented actor who got typecast, unfortunately, as Norman Bates-types. He was absolutely perfect in Orson Welles's "The Trial" as Joseph K, bringing a whole extra dimension to the role by virtue of the discomfort you sense in his character's scenes with beautiful women. A vastly underrated actor, he's remembered today really only for "Psycho", but he had a much wider range of character types he could play.
What's My Line? I agree about Anthony Perkins. He was certainly underrated!
Money, and never underestimate the importance of being in demand.
Well articulated.
Jackie Phillips Well, Anthony Perkins tried to escape typecasting by making movies in France for a number of years before coming back. Unfortunately, one of his first movies he made upon rearrival in America involved him playing a convicted arsonist who also was a compulsive liar, and even though the role had very little similarities for Norman Bates, it seemed to cement his typecast.
He continued trying to dodge the typecast for a number of years, but as the years progressed there was very little he could do but embrace his typecasting in order to continue making movies. He stated that his typecasting really frustrated him, but he never harbored any negative feelings towards Psycho and enjoyed playing Norman Bates.
So no, it was not necessarily a willing choice, but when you're an actor that has to make money someway, the only thing he COULD do is take up the roles offered to him, all of which were very Norman Bates-ish. However, he did have a number of successful roles on Broadway, so he frequented the stage as well, which gave him a break from it. However, in the late 80s he suffered from AIDS and once again, there was very little he could do but play Norman Bates roles over and over to support his family somehow.
Wow! The audience sure loved Gary Cooper!
Arlene looks especially amazing on this episode.
Why did she marry that imbecile Gabek?
KEN RETHERFORD In seven words you managed to make two errors, which may be a record. Her husband's name was Gabel and he was smart. You also fail to see what is obvious to most of us: they really loved each other deeply. If you're focused on superficial matters, you may think his looks wouldn't have attracted her, and it's true that he didn't age as well as she did (who did?). But look up a photo from when he played Danton in the 1930s; that may give you a hint too.
KEN RETHERFORD Maybe there was more to Martin than met the eye.
KEN RETHERFORD your silly remark was made two years ago yet is so asinine one would think you would have taken it down by now. To judge a good intelligent talented man so harshly without knowing anything about him is ridiculous. All you had to do was Google his name.
Martin Gabel was a charming and very sophisticated gentleman who was quite handsome in his younger years, especially when married Arlene Francis in 1946. His voice had rich and articulate tones which would have made him perfect for Shakespearean drama. He is one of my favorite panelists on this fantastic show.
Bearded men are such a rarity on the show, Captain Karlson was so handsome!
This program is a snapshot from a different time. The ladies, in regal evening gowns, bejeweled, and wearing elegant gloves, who glide onto stage knowing full well that they are dazzling to look at. The gentlemen, in tuxedos and bowties, looking handsome, confident and completely at ease. And this is a half-hour panel show. My, my, how times have changed.
I was imagining the horrified reaction of a New York City studio audience in 2018 to "WHALING CAPTAIN".
Sam Dash He'd probably get lynched now
Sam,
You are the ONLY commenter, that I've seen, that has said anything about the whale captain
It sickens me actually that no body cares or is informed about those beautiful, intelligent mammals that humans hunted then and killed for "the almighty buck"
Whaling may have made some people a lot of money, but then a lot of people were delighted to be able to use the products made from whales.
john Daly was so interesting, so fun;I bet there was no situation he could not handle. I wonder how many languages he spoke?
When the chief of the police in Rome was a guest using an interpreter, it was clear that John knew enough Italian to understand much of the conversation and to clarify some difficult points in the translation. He seemed to be on top of any French and Spanish phrases used by mystery guests pretending not to be native English speakers, too, though those were usually well-known idioms, so not a very good test of how far his fluency went.
The thing is, is that the people on the panel knew EVERYTHING that was going on in NYC. Who was in town, what films were playing or premiering, what plays were ongoing, etc..
they didn't see Marian Anderson coming
the greatest movie star that ever lived Mr.Garry Cooper
"On the Beach" is an amazing and sad film.
And, a great novel.
“They Came to Cordura” had a bad effect on the career of Dick York,.one of the supporting actors. During a sequence involving a train track handcart, York injured his back so badly and thoroughly that he had severe pain problems thereafter. This led to a drug - pain killer addiction that ended his acting career suddenly / precipitously in 1968 at its height when he co-starred with Elizabeth Montgomery in the sitcom “Bewitched.” At the end of his life in the early 1990s, he was pretty much bed fast, but he did significantly work by phone in his charitable causes up to the end.
Dick York's departure from "Bewitched" was a negative for the show, also. As I recall, it only lasted one season with Dick Sargent as Darren. While York would bluster, he never lost his quality as a sympathetic character. Sargent's anger came across as mean-spirited in my view. I couldn't feel sympathetic towards him.
How interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
@@loissimmons6558 Three seasons with Dick Sargent, including the addition of the birth of a son, which added NOTHING to the show.
Arlene looked absolutely STUNNING in that dress.
Wow Arlene, just wow. Exquisite!
Gary Cooper looks and acts so much like my grandfather Carlton with his mid-western modesty, very fine men both!
Wow, Mr. Cerf was more than a publisher, he was a bookworm. He must've had a library in his head. They came to Cordura was a big movie in 1959 and he already read and published it. I don't even think the term nerd would be one to describe his love of books. Very interesting.
I'm very embarrassed to say I've never heard of it!
Gary Cooper was a great actor and I am glad that he was in Moscow and Leningrad
Gary Cooper was Incredible incredible incredible as graceful as ever
That voice as well is as distinct as the face .
One thing that's changed over the years is an attitude towards animal hunters. I don't think whaling captains would be as accepted today as much as they were in the Fifties. Anthony Perkins did indicate the difference between harming animals and helping them, but he still gladly shook the captain's hand.
They are outlaws and criminals today.
Wow the audience whispering and talking when he walks in.... geniuinely stunned. He would have been one of the biggest stars on this show, along with Errol Flynn and James Stewart I guess.
I wonder if it was publically known he was ill at that time, and then maybe the reaction was due to appreciation that he showed up on this show.
I love Gary Cooper 😍
Gary Cooper...what a Star !!!
I love Dorothy's dress and little gloves in this one.
I love Dorothy'sdress too!
Dorothy looks especially lovely here
And that necklace!
love Cooper!
He lived a very elite life...but was grounded and humble
Gary and Anthony were so handsome.
Arlene: "Is there anything dangerous about this product?" John: "No." Good grief! A key reason garbage is picked up and disposed of is so that it will not stand around in a city and rot, thereby creating potential health problems (see any good history of the Middle Ages). Under certain circumstances, as John Daly might say, garbage is certainly dangerous and it is amazing that it did not occur to either Daly or Edna L. Yates that that was a very good reason why she had a job.
romeman01 You are perfectly right, both about the importance of her work as a Garbage Collector, and the potential danger in rotten food/garbage. I think this panel exclusively used the word "dangerous" in terms of being explosives, weapons, and even predators as tigers, crocodiles, etc. The plagues of The Middle Ages were obviously a result of the lack of hygienic standards in the cities, but there's no need to go further back than few years ago, when a garbage-strike in Southern Europe during a heatwawe(!) caused increasing diseas and deaths among people in the poor parts of the cities. (By the way, In the ancient world, like Greece, Rome, Ethiopia and India, the hygienic standard in bigger cities were on a much higher level, than our European Middle Ages!)
romeman01 - Hmmm - good point.
I don't think of garbage as a "product" either
When they say dangerous they mean immediate threat. Weapons, explosives, toxins. They've had contestants be of such professions. You can drown in water, but no one says selling bottles of water is selling a dangerous product, but look up dihydrogen monoxide which people sell among its other uses.
@@rosemma34 this was one of many times when a service occupation gets confused with there being a substance involved that isn't produced by the work being done.
So handsome. (Gary Cooper)
I like that Gary cooper seems like the strong silent type
He wasn’t in touch with his feelings, he just did what he had to do
Gary Cooper: Sgt Alvin York, US Army WW1.
Just an interesting note. The government of South Africa did not allow television in their country until 1976. I know a lot of South African's here in Israel, and I've asked them about this, and they really didn't miss something they never had, They went to the movies, theater, and radio was quite old American style until TV took over. The country was a democracy for white's but it was a very conservative and highly regulated environment.
Narvelan Coleman Cool story,
Narvelan! Thanks very much, pal!
I grew up on the cusp of the television era. A lot of reading and a lot of radio. I think we were better off.
+Narvelan Coleman
Great story about your connection to a turning point in history. Those were some great acts on the bill. And you were certainly much farther than 25 miles from home!
I'd love to know what the audiences were like in terms of race, seating if multi-racial, and the reactions. If it was multi-racial, was there any sense that the crowd was somewhat distracted at first by the novelty of that situation and it took some extra effort by the performers to warm up the crowd and get their attention focused on the stage show.
About ten years before you went to South Africa on this tour, when I was a freshman in HS, our English teacher assigned "Cry the Beloved Country" by Alan Paton. It was quite an eye opener, and changed the way I looked at the world in terms of injustice, racism and power. Some more of my innocence was gone and I was a little more grown up as a result. It was a fair and worthwhile trade.
Lois Simmons, it looks like the post you were commenting on in this thread has been removed. I grew up in South Africa when there was no television allowed. And I don’t know at what point audiences at anything public became integrated. Fortunately we had opportunity to visit there in more recent years and it was good to see integration normalized in their TV programs, at a large church we visited, a stadium, and the elementary school I attended (though the black students were bussed in). The “white” suburb was still predominantly white, but no longer by compulsion. My parents were missionaries who ministered regularly in five black townships, where we were not permitted to live or even enter without a permit from the government. Segregation was more than separating blacks and whites. Different black tribes (very hostile toward each other and speaking their individual languages) were separated from one another in separate townships. My parents once tried to hold a youth camp in the countryside for youth from the different townships they served to come together, and found it didn’t work too well. The animosities between tribes ran deep. I always thought that was a big reason why apartheid survived as long as it did. When I was growing up, blacks outnumbered whites 5 to 1. There was a lot of fear, but blacks were so divided, they could not get together. We always felt that civil war was inevitable. We had already left when the miracle of dismantling apartheid happened peacefully, thanks to a lot of prayer and the efforts of Nelson Mandela and Mr. de Klerk. I should read Cry, the Beloved Country. At the time it was popular, it was just too painful for me to read. I had been pretty oblivious of the true horrors going on as I was growing up. I think that keeping television from the populace was deliberate. Satellite dishes to receive programs from outside the country were forbidden. 🚫 My father did listen to news on shortwave radio. I think that radio is still in the family somewhere.
@grant Bob Why would you think that? I am an American who spent my childhood growing up in South Africa. My husband and I got to visit at least three times between 1972 and 2008. I feel nostalgic about my growing up years and my childhood friends in what I remember as a beautiful country, but saddened by many things, including the crime rate.
My father met Gary Cooper in 1948, when my dad worked for his brother in law in Southern Utah at his gas/service station. Mr. Cooper stopped to get gas, gave my dad his autograph, which I still have.
wow, you are very lucky.
At 20:00 John Daly mentioned the movie with Gary Cooper They CAME To Condora 1959. This is also the film in which actor Dick York tore his back causing great pain so much that he had to quit Bewitched (in 1969).
It really can't have been easy for Daly, to give any aid with the answers, when it comes to questions like "Hunting" or "Rural areas" with the Whaling Captain and "useful rather than luxury" with the Garbage Collector! ;D
thank you for uploading these shows :)
They figured out it was Gary very quickly!
