Joan looks like sister Olivia de Havilland here, I think it's the hairstyle. Love Joan's laugh...for such a petite woman.

Love this one!! Jack and the contestant Marsha seemed to have a good repore!! So cute!! Love them together!! 👍🤗

So cute when Jack laughed and then said "forget the show" !!! 💋🤗

Joan is so gracious, and real. Love how she wiped the guys head!

Jack was dreamy that’s for sure

Still is.

It drove me up the wall when Jack kept giving 'soup' and 'chicken' over and over as clues for 'rice'. All he had to say was 'grain', then if she didn't say rice, he could have said 'Chinese'. Ah well.

The word for rice that would have only needed saying once was ‘basmati’. If that didn’t work, followed by saffron. And Jack was wrong about the meaning of robust. Joan had it with ‘hearty,’ other synonyms - strong, healthy, but not hero.

@@alexrafe2590 , back then I don't think basmati would have worked. Jack Jones was not a good player

Funny how it would just be a few years later where "Martin" could have been a great clue for "Sheen." Of course a few decades later "Charlie" followed by "WINNING!" :-)

"Iconoclast" was a better clue for "idol" than the panel gave the girl credit for. It just didn't go far enough. It took a second clue to zero it in.

Actually icon is what she should have said. Maybe she thought iconoclast was the complete word or something. An iconoclast is someone who isn't impressed by idols.

@@chrisn7259 Legit point. I've been watching many of these old episodes, and it's clear that people, even celebrities and such, in those days honestly weren't as sophisticated or educated as even regular people today are. Your point might be part of that, or perhaps she's a rather religious person and so gravitated in the direction of idol-destruction. But certainly, Ludden's narrow focus on the word's definition was a case of this.

@@TommygunNG Yes agreed, the problem was that the contestant was trying to give a synonym for an idol, which was an icon, but added the suffix, clast, changing the meaning to a destroyer of icons. By that mistake she muddied the waters. But in her defence, it’s much easier finding exactly the right clue, and form of a clue, when you’re not being filmed for national television with only a few seconds available to do it. Allen, in his typical fashion, stepped in with another interpretation that was also wrong. I’ll give him this, he never seemed afraid of making himself look foolish, bless him. The contestants I found difficult to bear were the ones with zero recall, who kept responding just to the last given clue, while not considering that earlier clues made it obvious their answer couldn’t possibly be the word in question🙄

And A.L. had no clue what the word "iconoclast" meant. What a doofus. How did he get a degree in "English" but not know words that surely came up in college. An Iconoclast was someone who was against the idols/statues/icons which are used in the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic systems. Good clue,,,, assuming the other person graduated from High School and owns a dictionary.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

For the word "Vehicle" the word "Automobile"should have been given as the 1st clue!! 😏👍

Martha Wittmeyer (sp?) looks like my (late) grandmother as a young woman. Striking. Wonder about her family tree.

I really like Jack Jones pompadour hair style - full yet with a touch of Brylcreem.

Somebody needs to tell Jack to slow down with the clues during the lightning round. Give your partner a second to process your clues.

I’m just guessing here but all I come up with is that “bosomy” was sort of risqué for 1967 and the answer “brave” is so far off that Joan Fontaine found it funny. Who knows?

The clues for "robust" are pretty bad.

Joan Fontaine gave very bad clues for the P-W "Robust". Jack Jones gave better clues but the guy with the too-small suit was ruined by Joan's clues.

11:25 that’s a little too precise.

I've never seen a game where players didn't know so many words. The players obviously don't know the meaning of robust. Allan explain 'iconoclast' completely wrong and much else besides.

Not sure if he was a household name at that time but I woulda used Martin for the word sheen. Joan was on the right track when she used the word hearty for robust, others would include strong and powerful

You have to understand that the majority of people were thin in the 1960s and what we would not consider overweight today was considered fat then.
