James Mason was a wonderful actor and I have enjoyed several of his films over the years. A favorite Mason film of mine is "Georgy Girl," from 1966 - this was very different from a good many roles he played, and this picture still greatly holds up in 2023. Incidentally, Mr. Mason always said that "A Star is Born," from 1954 (with Judy Garland) was a favorite film of his - calling Judy the most talented co-star with whom he ever worked.

I had never heard of Roger Price prior to watching this episode. According to his bio, he was well-acquainted with panel shows, both as a host and as a moderator starting in 1951. It's no surprise that he was comfortable with the format. And since much of his life's work suggests someone quick-witted, he would be able to learn a new game without much trouble. For whatever reason and whoever made the decision, this was his only appearance on WML.

Ronald Colman, Basil Rathbone, Robert Donat, Claude Rains, Cedric Hardwicke, George Sanders. All gained extensive experience on the boards before stepping before the camera*. You had to make your lines audible in 'the gods' or the back stalls of a big, echoey suditorium. Not all US stars had a stage background, but almost all Brits had paid those dues. When talkies arrived it was easier to adapt from plays than the other way round, as some movie names found when they tackled Broadway. *Exceptions: David Niven and Errol Flynn.

I had no idea Roger Price was the co-creator of Mad Libs. Staple of my childhood, those. (For those unfamiliar, you had to provide a few nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs into an unseen sentence, then read it aloud. It's best if you're with a group that's already mildly silly.) Arlene and this cornfed youth was somethin'. And I admit that if Peter Lind Hayes, or Hal, were doing it I would likely object to his leering. But Arlene was being bawdy while mildly embarrassed about it, which does provide a bit of a difference.

James Mason was about to release his first film as a producer, in which he starred as well as redrafting the screenplay. 'Bigger than Life', about a poor and cortisone-addicted schoolteacher, is a remarkable film, directed by Nicholas Ray of 'Johnny Guitar fame'; but perhaps it was too downbeat a picture of suburban America to appear when Ike was headed for re-election. Audiences saw Mason as a hero-villain, not a victim. It flopped and Mason quit his production deal with Fox, henceforth sticking to acting.

orgonko the wildly untamed The English language is not so easy to force into silly little straitjackets as you think it is. Have you never visited the Department of Motor Vehicles? At least in many states, that has been the official name long before electric cars were common. I'm old enough to remember gas station slogans like "Happy Motoring!" Even today we refer to motorboats and motorcycles rather than engine boats and engine cycles. Your distinction is correct in a strictly engineering sense, but to claim that the popular usage of a century is wrong just makes you seem out of touch with the language as it is used in practice.

I praise God that the jury didn't let the commies, including MSNBC intimidate them. Judge Schroeder and the jury received several death threats from the commies. But, in the end they came through and made the correct verdict. The video very clearly show that Kyle Rittenhouse shot those criminals protesters in self defense. Anyone who says otherwise is a flat out liar. All 3 of the men that were shot were white. We true Conservative Patriots cheered because real justice was served! God answered our prayers. 🙏🙏🙏🕊🦅

He has a relative who owns a business in Kenosha, Wisconsin and those CRIMINALS that tried to KILL Kyle Rittenhouse were literally destroying Kyle's relative's business! They set it on fire! You obviously condone the Satanic behavior of those criminals, but you don't think that Kyle Rittenhouse had the right to shoot those criminals in self defense.

James Mason was a wonderful actor and I have enjoyed several of his films over the years. A favorite Mason film of mine is "Georgy Girl," from 1966 - this was very different from a good many roles he played, and this picture still greatly holds up in 2023. Incidentally, Mr. Mason always said that "A Star is Born," from 1954 (with Judy Garland) was a favorite film of his - calling Judy the most talented co-star with whom he ever worked.
Arlene is the queen of the double entendre.

I had never heard of Roger Price prior to watching this episode. According to his bio, he was well-acquainted with panel shows, both as a host and as a moderator starting in 1951. It's no surprise that he was comfortable with the format. And since much of his life's work suggests someone quick-witted, he would be able to learn a new game without much trouble. For whatever reason and whoever made the decision, this was his only appearance on WML.

Arlene and this cornfed youth was somethin'. And I admit that if Peter Lind Hayes, or Hal, were doing it I would likely object to his leering.

James Mason was about to release his first film as a producer, in which he starred as well as redrafting the screenplay. 'Bigger than Life', about a poor and cortisone-addicted schoolteacher, is a remarkable film, directed by Nicholas Ray of 'Johnny Guitar fame'; but perhaps it was too downbeat a picture of suburban America to appear when Ike was headed for re-election. Audiences saw Mason as a hero-villain, not a victim. It flopped and Mason quit his production deal with Fox, henceforth sticking to acting.

Didn't seem like much dumbing down in the 50s.........

People have commented that there are risqué things on I Love Lucy, but What's My Line has it beat by a mile because WML was usually a live show, and mainly because it wasn't scripted and there are tons of examples of risqué comments.

Astonished that a talented actor like James Mason, made such little effort to disguise his voice. It’s as if he couldn’t be bothered to at least mislead the panel. Some celebrity guests are truly entertaining, hamming up a false accent, but Mason was a huge disappointment. His one note expression to the questions from the panel suggested that he was uncomfortable with the whole thing.

What was the answer (at about 14:20) to Arlene's question about music?? It seems to have been great, but I've tried and tried and can't make out what he's saying, and the captions don't help either. I'm hoping SOMEONE can hear it!

One of the most useless questions on WML I think is, "Do you use your hands in your job"? Now tell me what job doesn't require the use of the your hands unless you bob for apples as a career!

There is always " do people feel happier/satisfied after seeing you?" if one goes for a serivce then there is the expectation of satisfaction once the aim has been achieved. Otherwise, why engage in the service?

orgonko the wildly untamed The English language is not so easy to force into silly little straitjackets as you think it is. Have you never visited the Department of Motor Vehicles? At least in many states, that has been the official name long before electric cars were common. I'm old enough to remember gas station slogans like "Happy Motoring!" Even today we refer to motorboats and motorcycles rather than engine boats and engine cycles. Your distinction is correct in a strictly engineering sense, but to claim that the popular usage of a century is wrong just makes you seem out of touch with the language as it is used in practice.

because the verb is "motoring" there is no such word as "engining" so therefore the noun motor is used; there are dozens of expressions based on incorrect maybe that level of misuse is good for you but not for me

If a man did to a young women what Arlene did to this young man there would be 100 comments deep of women shouting inappropriate behavior by a misogynistic pig! My how times have changed. Incidentally I thought it was fantastic
Sometimes the audience didn't like the mystery guests with their disguised voices and made their disappointment known.
Some contestants don't even qualify as dumb. They are beneath even that.

I found it interesting watching the last contestant because she said that she's from Kenosha, Wisconsin. Very recently, Kyle Rittenhouse was rightfully acquitted from all of the charges against him. I praise God that the jury didn't let the commies, including MSNBC intimidate them. Judge Schroeder and the jury received several death threats from the commies. But, in the end they came through and made the correct verdict. The video very clearly show that Kyle Rittenhouse shot those criminals protesters in self defense. Anyone who says otherwise is a flat out liar. All 3 of the men that were shot were white. We true Conservative Patriots cheered because real justice was served! God answered our prayers. 🙏🙏🙏🕊🦅

He is a murderer who had no business being there, groomed to be a killer from an early age. He went there looking for trouble, looking to shoot his gun. Maybe you should actually read your bible for a change, thou shalt not kill.

@Willem Verheij You're a bold face liar!! I watched the videos several times and Kyle Rittenhouse was definitely NOT a murderer! For you to say that he was makes me think that YOU are a cold-blooded murderer! You sure sound like one! It was his business to be there. He has a relative who owns a business in Kenosha, Wisconsin and those CRIMINALS that tried to KILL Kyle Rittenhouse were literally destroying Kyle's relative's business! They set it on fire! You obviously condone the Satanic behavior of those criminals, but you don't think that Kyle Rittenhouse had the right to shoot those criminals in self defense. Since you feel that way, then you should move to China, you moron. 😡👎🤮.
