    Kim Novak was 8 days shy of her 23rd birthday when she made this appearance on WML. It is quite a tribute to her that she had already achieved leading lady status. Most actresses with her age and appearance would still be described as an ingenue. In the same year that "Picnic" was made she also had a movie with an uncredited role as a harem girl. (According to one source, she made only $100 a week for her work in "Picnic".) She had a very fast climb to the top. At that age, she had the looks to play young and innocent and the poise to play more mature than her years.

    I wonder how many girls born around the time of PICNIC were named Kim? My husband was so struck by her that he named our daughter after her, and I know our Kim went to school with a few more Kims around her age. There were also a lot of Kimberlys, but I believe those had a different source from Kim Novak. In those days, it was a brand new name.

    Have an uncle that looked like Desi. He was always being "spotted" as him. Was with him once about 10 years ago and a woman came running up calling him Desi and wanting his autograph. Without skipping a beat at 89 years old, he replied, "Ma'am, I've been dead since 1986." She didn't "get" it. Thought I was going to die laughing!

    ***** Also have a cousin-in-law that is a dead-ringer for Paul Newman. Whenever we have a family get-together at a restaurant one or both get asked for autographs. The Desi one tries to explain that he died in 86 and the Paul one just signs the autographs or takes the picture. Says it's easier than convincing them Paul died in 06. I always wonder at what point they notice the autographs aren't Desi & Paul. The Paul one told mehe had 1 woman chase him down in the parking lot to DEMAND he write the real name. He told her, "Honey, that is my real name." She threw a hissy-fit until he finally broke down and signed what she wanted.

    Desi's interaction with Randolph Churchill starting around the 7:50 mark is one of the more delightful bits in all of WML. Desi's self depreciating humor combined with his questions that get a "yes", while still having no idea who Churchill is quite funny. His relief at getting a "no" tops it all.

    Fred Allen was one of the greatest wits of 20th century America. He had a wide following with his radio programs of the 1930s and 40s. His appearances on WML are particularly delightful. Those of you complaining about him not being funny or talking too much definitely don’t have an appreciation for the excellent wit he had or the humor of that era.

    Randolph Churchill is identified as a correspondent for the "Ike-Eden meetings". Ike was, of course, US president Dwight Eisenhower, and Anthony Eden was Prime Minister of Great Britain. They were meeting due a political crisis related to the Suez Canal. Later in the year, the crisis led to military conflict and eventually to the resignation of Eden as PM. Details can be found in the Wikipedia entry "Suez Crisis".

Where else would you see an interaction between Randolph Churchill and Desi Arnaz on 1950's television!? Desi was 41 years old at the time this was filmed and also a heavy drinker and smoker. It didn't show on him (yet) the way it did on Randolph, only 3 years older than Desi.

    Although he wasn't terribly good at the game, Desi Arnaz was an excellent guest panelist. He provided a number of quick comebacks, and picked up on the audience laughter over possibly using the services of the helicopter pilot and made the most of it. Skills that remind one of Steve Allen. It's too bad he didn't appear on the panel more often. He did appear as a Mystery Guest, once with and once without Lucy.

Ridiculous to single one film out, but the result comes from tallying the ten best according to each respondent. 'Vertigo' has certainly come up in their estimation. Not many years ago 'Psycho' would have outrated it, and Hitchcock was still regarded more as a master manipulator of audiences than a great artist. French critics boosted him.

Evelyn Waugh said, "It was a typical triumph of modern science to find the one part of Randolph which was not malignant and to remove it."

    Fred's reference to meeting Randolph Churchill in London 3 or 4 years before with Tallulah refers to a special broadcast in London of NBC Radio's huge Sunday night variety program "The Big Show" ["big" used in the slang of the time for 'great']. Tallulah Bankhead was the hostess of the program; Fred appeared often enough to be considered almost a co-star host. "The Big Show" broadcasted in London as I recall in 1952.

"Ever wrote a childrens book involving a rabbit named Peter?" "Do you deal in the slave trade built up by conquered Nations?" "You specialize in bloodshed and torture?" You a harsh merciless ruler who reigns with an iron fist and burdens his subjects with heavy taxes" "Were you the chap who came up with the idea that the world is round, not flat l, and took a chance to prove it with three boats in 1492, with Queen Isabella's blessing?" "You ever robbed banks and trains and got hung?" "You the one who invented the iron maiden and the thumb screw?" "Hmmm a Roman General? how many people have you crucified, no, have you played a key role in the Gallic Wars?" "Umm you hold a high position in Egypt, are a priestess in the temple of Isis, and slept with Mark Antony?" "Are you an actor by any chance who took a pot shot at Lincoln....and almost missed because of political ideological differences?" "Ever got hit on the head by a falling apple while relaxing under a tree and suddenly got struck with an inspiration having to with something related tooooo, errrr, hmmm, oh! gravity?" etc, etc. And then when they couldn't figure it out they take off their masks and "Ohhhh shit! it's, we should have known, it's Pontious Pilot!!...the gov of Judea who crucified Christ!" followed by applause and cheers of the audience.

    According to an interview that Jayne Meadows did, regarding her long stint on another Goodson-Todman game show ("I've Got a Secret"), the female panelists were required to supply their own clothing, hair styling and makeup. When they hired her for IGAS, she was still single and just starting out in the business so she didn't have a lot of money. After three episodes, after wearing the only gown she owned, borrowing one from her sister and buying one, she realized that she couldn't afford to stay on the program. So she told G-T she was quitting. They wanted her on the program very much, so when they found out the reason why, they procured gowns for her in exchange for a plug during the closing credits. She said that soon she had the best wardrobe of any young actress in NYC. Therefore, since you don't see a plug at this time during the closing credits of WML, my assumption is that the female panelists provided their own gowns, at least from 1950-56.
