    The comportment, beauty, charm, poise, graciousness, intelligence, etc., of celebrites, from that time, is so superior to anything to be found today, that a person such as Deborah Kerr might just as well be a visitor from another planet as from an earlier time on ours.

    Deborah Kerr was something! She could act and she looked great in the process. She even was a great nun in two different pictures, "Heaven Knows Mr. Allison" and "Black Narcissus". And even if Marnie Nixon sang for her, I really liked Deborah Kerr as Anna Leonowens in the movie version of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "The King and I" -- she really held her own opposite Yul Brynner as the King. (It was great that Marnie Nixon mimicked Deborah Kerr's accent so perfectly that it was easy to believe Miss Kerr was doing her own singing.)

    Read Marni Nixon's memoir "I Could Have Sung All Night" for more of the story. Kerr and Nixon rehearsed together before filming so that Kerr could learn how a singer breathes and phrases a song, as well as giving Nixon a chance to study Kerr's voice. It turned out to be a collaborative performance by the two women, the most satisfying of Nixon's dubbing career. Other actresses like Natalie Wood and Audrey Hepburn didn't even want to know she was on the lot.

But she got snubbed cause Warner didn't think she was photogenic enough. Well, Julie deserved to win and boy am I glad she did and that Audrey didn't. Audrey didn't make Marni's dubbing job easy, and I believe Audrey was her least favourite to work with. Marni, Deborah and Julie are all amazing. And deserved to get the credit they did.

    These days, I think that many people would just wind up "signing" in with uppercase block lettering, since true penmanship has been disappearing from the classroom as part of the curriculum, for years. People like my grandparents born in the late 1800s and early 1900s - and even my late mother, born in the 30s, had wonderful handwriting. My late father, also born in the 30s, had handwriting that was legible, but small; very much like a doctor. Even my younger sibling and I had penmanship in class in the 70s and 80s. The older I get, the more I seem to use cursive script. Glad I haven't forgotten how to use it!

I disagree, however, that most modern contestants would sign in with block capitals. Get any American high-school yearbook from 2021 and you'll find that most people still have signatures involving lowercase and even cursive letters, almost always easy to read and sometimes quite pretty.

Tonight's video replaces a prior version that didn't include the original commercials. Future videos may add the original commercials, upgrade the video quality, or fill in missing portions of incomplete episodes. If you're not already a member of our Facebook group, now is a great time to join! Every Sunday evening (10:30pm NYC time, naturally) a bunch of us watch an episode at the same time so we can chat about it as we watch. We've been doing this all year, and it's always a blast-- the time ***flies*** by. If you're interested, please check out the group and join in the live chat tonight!

    There are kind, articulate, moral, and decent people still left. Not everyone has sold their soul in this Brave New World. Some of us remember at least a good portion of the last half of the 20th Century and were fortunate enough to have parents and relatives from the earlier part of those past hundred years. I am one of them, and I subconsciously still seek out like-minded people to this day. Occasionally I am even pleasantly startled to meet younger folks who truly display old-fashioned qualities that label them quickly as people who, like me, as somewhat born out of their era. Whenever I feel the urge to generalize, I remember that not all people, male or female, are good or bad just because of their gender or when they were born.

    Yes. You can see that he had the amplifier in his jacket pocket, which in this era could have used tiny vacuum tubes or possibly transistors, which were used in hearing aids before they were used in pocket radios (the first transistor radio came out in 1954).

    Here's a case of Bennett doing what he accused Dorothy of doing (in that infamous interview), asking questions to get more screen time. He clearly knows that the guest is Deborah Kerr, but keeps asking questionsthat show that he knows who she is. But of course when Dorothy did it, this was objectionable.

  • @WhatsMyLine

    I don't think Bennett was screen hogging, though. They often figured out who the mystery guest was too early and so tried to extend the questioning, all of them, so that the audience wouldn't be disappointed at a very short MG round. When Dorothy did this sort of thing in the regular rounds, it was just deadly dull, and it was pretty clearly only to give herself more screen time. Not entertaining to the audience, and inconsiderate of her fellow panelists. I love Dorothy, but let's be honest here. She DID hog the screen at times in the 1950s. She'd pretty much stopped this doing this entirely by the 1960s, so clearly she learned her lesson.

    +Brent McKee In this particular case, it seems to me that Bennett was plugging Miss Kerr's career a bit, and a prodigious career it was. After all, the panelists knew one of the reason's why the MG was there, just like each panelist gets a plug from the previous panelist (or in Miss Kilgallen's case from the announcer) on their career, whether it is their new role or new book or new record album, etc.

    Brent McKee i know what you mean. Hes also accused Dorothy of finding out the occupations of certain guests as well as mystery guests early on when they have screen time on the show, where I've seen him do the exact same thing with mystery guests within Maybe 1 or 2 or 3 questions being asked by the other panelists, and then when it comes to him he goes and thinks he knows exactly who it is and wants to answer it before Dorothy gets to it. And I know I've had criticisms about Hal Block in the past but since hes been gone whenever there was an exceptionally beautiful female panelist on the show Bennett Cerf as well as John Daly gets into mooning over the guest as well as making maybe not as crude a comments as Hal Block would have, but they do their share of verbal molestation of a contestant also as I've seen on some occasions. I didn't exactly hate Hal Block, but his actions even on a show like this back in the fifties of kissing female contestants all the time when they were done with their stint on the show was a little bit shocking.

    It was a bit of byplay between Bennett Cerf and John Daly that started two episodes earlier (July 26, 1953) when Bennett announced on the show that John had just been named a Vice-President of the American Broadcasting Company. At the episode's close, Bennett said to John "Good night, Prexy" in recognition of John's new title. On that episode and the following one, John called him "Bean". An "s" was added by John to that nickname in this episode. My surmise is that it was nickname only known by a few who knew Bennett well: a takeoff on his first name and also possibly due to the fact that around the time that Bennett was getting two separate bachelor's degrees from Columbia, the British upper class slang of calling a male friend "Old Bean" had temporarily come into vogue as an American affectation.

They were very much in competition and preferred to only talk about their own network, only referring to another if they had to as in this case. So much so that in the 1970s, in the UK, there was a different magazine for each 'channel.....Radio Times for BBC, TVTimes for ITV. The mention of the sponsor of course was to do with the commercial product sponsoring, therefore providing finance for, the show. No doubt it was a contractual obligation to mention the sponsor at some point.
