1956 was a stand out year for this show hands down.

Claudette really seemed lovely.

How many of us did our best James Mason impersonation after discovering he was on the panel? (I couldn't stop! lol)

Mrs. Hartley is the first contestant I have seen who answered "No!" when asked if she knew how we keep score.

She didn't seem to be playing witha a full deck of cards.

James Mason! Quite the coup for the panel!

Unfortunately D.R Hartley (married name Diana (Hartley) Knodi died tragically. She was killed by a "tame" lion while working on the Hollywood epic about professional animal catchers, Hatari. On November 1, 1960, Diana Knodi entered the lion's cage and it sprang on her. It bit her three times, on the chin, throat, and chest, then mauled her to death. White hunter Bill Ryan, who was on the film set nearby with stars John Wayne, Hardy Kruger, Red Buttons, and the actress Capucine, commented, "Diana should never have got into the cage with that lion. She didn't have a chance." This is very tragic

One commentator’s tragedy, is another commentator’s idea of karma. Killing animals for sport is sadistic

Mrs. Hartley is the most astonishingly dense and unresponsive contestant I have seen on WML.

George stevens one of the greatest

Mrs. Hartley seemed to take most of the questions so literally, resulting in many boring conferences. Was glad when that segment was over.

She was utterly hopeless

Game hunter is an occupation they wouldn't feature now.

Why not?

Mr Mason brings class to the panel with out humor

Claudette Colbert seemed like such a sweet woman.

Actually Bennett's question of whether or not Mrs. Hartley (the African Big Game Hunter) could perform her job with equal agility in the United States and Ireland should have gotten a yes. It would be a rather povertous existence, however.

C'mon get serious Joe, nobody uses that word (povertous). Try impecunious, beggarly, impoverished instead!

I agree with Joe that the question calls for a comparison, but wouldn’t the US have much more big game? Wouldn’t Ireland have none, making the answer no.

Am I wrong for getting pissed off at a big game hunter that appeared on a game show almost 70 years ago... Yoyo lady was a close second.

I was born on this day too.

I don’t think the hunter understood the object of the game is for the person to avoid saying yes.

Colbert had a better time here than when Groucho Marx was on the panel.

Dorothy must be a red head here. She had blue eyes.looks pretty. Miss yo yo is mising her string.

Her hair may have been red and her eyes may have been blue, but she is not at all pretty. To see more attractive women look two seats to the left, or look look in the mirror

@@igkoigko9950Arlene does look pretty this night but Dorothy can look attractive in the years moving forward. Not sure what she did but she looked attractive imo.

I think Mrs. Hartley has spent too much time in the hot sun. She even noticeably paused re identifying her initials. Let's hope she doesn't pause before a charging rhino!

Mrs.Hartley is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

George Stevens did many comedies before World War Two. Afterwards, he made more serious ones.

Mrs. Hartley...earth to Hartley...not going to Africa with her!!!

I agree that she looked nervous from the start. Poor woman had never seen the show before, and John contradicted her on three of her first four answers. From then on, she was shell shocked, I think, and tried too hard, as Arlene suggested to John, to come up with the answers of which he'd approve. This was one time he should have jumped in and answered for the contestant, which he frequently did in future shows.
