I believe that Allen greeted his mother-in-law, who was in the audience, with "Hi, Doll!" It happened frequently; so sweet!

They weren't even MARRIED yet. Nor did they even MEET until she came on Password. I knew it already, but to make others happy (cause I've seen someone else say that), I Googled it again. So no, I highly doubt that he was saying that to his future mother-in-law since he didn't even KNOW here

Steve Lawrence was always so humble about himself. He was always so proud about Eydie too.

I have to say both Allen and Steve looked at Gail. She was pretty reminded me of Eydie.

And I do have to say, Steve Lawrence is pretty cute

We lost Steve on March 7, 2024. He was incredible singer, actor. He and Eydie stayed married till her death 2013. What a loss!!!.

I really enjoy watching this game.

I think Florence is one of the best players, she's quick, smart and plays sensibly, I'd rank her with Carol Burnett and Anthony Perkins as the best three. Wouldn't it have been good to see those three play a special password show? BTW I love the way women dressed in this era, smart, classy and chic but not too elaborate or overdone, or stiff. I loved Florence's simple updo and dress.

I have always hated when the stars laughed and wasted time at the contestants expense especially during the lightning round

Very cool to see this featuring Steve Lawrence DURING his song, "Go Away Little Girl," an enchanting song I've ALWAYS loved(!); & he's been blessed with that great voice which helped take it to #1!

Notice how Mister Allen Ludden snubbed Bossa-Nova, at 06:42 (... that Bossa-Nova thing...) Little did Mr. Ludden know that (besides Eydie Gormé's "Blame it on the Bossa-Nova"): 01. Three months down the road, Ruby and The Romantics would reach Billboard's Hot 100 Number One spot, with their syncopated, Bossa-Nova rendition of "Our Day Will Come", and; 02. The following year (1964), this musical genre would take the United States by storm, with Stan-Getz/Astrud-Gilberto, and "The Girl from Ipanema".

The contestant Barbara won $500 after the 2nd lightning round. So given inflation, that $500 in 1963 would be worth $4, 054.67 today.

Florence Henderson 1934-2016 And since Steve Lawrence and his teammate never got to the 5th word when time ran out, it's probably why it wasn't revealed in this instance after that Lightning Round ended.

Steve Byrd and

Mrs. Brady! ❤

The really funny part of this clip occurs at about 17:00, when Florence Henderson had to get her partner to say, "bunch." Had this show been a few years later, the ideal clue would've been "Brady" ("Brady Bunch" being the title of the series Florence Henderson starred on).

There were only four clues, because they never made it to the fifth before the minute was up.

Wouldn't it be wild if steve said brady for a clue for bunch?? 6 years before that show even existed.

So do Allen's children get along with Betty White

I find it interesting that when words like “bikini,” and “pajamas” come up as Passwords, no one uses “swimwear,” or “sleepwear” as clues. I can only assume that these are new terms that were not in use in this era.

It's too bad the show wouldn't come out for another 6 years, but Florence would have gotten Bunch with the clue, "Brady".

Whenever it showed Allen Ludden in closeup, his strong glasses made him look Chinese.

A bargain basement was a feature of many department stores. Don't judge a show as rigged, because of your own ignorance.
