    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.

    He was alive as of Dec. 2015. Here's an interview with him from a local publication (Chadds Ford. PA from where he moved because of a new job and where he eventually became town supervisor for many years until choosing to not run for reelection in Nov. 2015). He is an interesting character for sure. He mentions his appearance on WML and says that he has a video of his appearance among his possessions. chaddsfordlive.com/2015/12/03/from-salon-attendant-to-supervisor-thorpe-has-seen-much/

    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.

    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.

    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.

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 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.
