I've Got A Secret! - Tony Perkins (Anthony Perkins) 6/8/1960

Anthony "Tony" Perkins is the guest in this Eps hosted by Garry Moore. The Panel is Bill Cullen, Henry Morgan, Betsy Palmer, and Bess Myerson

[@poppopw5305]

I absolutely love this episode. So much class and and humor without being trashy. Imagine if they could do this with another game show!

[@MrMikeman1970]

Anthony Perkins (The Godfather of the slashers) and Betsy Palmer ( the Godmother of the slashers) in the same room. Pity it’s not a horror movie but it’s still a nice thing to watch.

[@dianepowers9643]

Betsy Palmer did more than just horror movies. South Pacific, the gray line. Broadway plays and other movies

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

​@dianepowers9643 but her portrayal of Mrs. Voorhees is what made her an icon.

[@44032]

She was a very fine actress in addition to being a very charming and beautiful woman in person. I remember her much more for I've Got a Secret. @doctorfeinstone6524

[@harpeowl]

The reason this show stands out to me is the people behind it seems like genuinely nice people

[@gina1433mhrj]

Towards the end when Tony Perkins arrives, I see just how soft spoken and kind he really is. The ending was wonderful of Tony to give them all such a lovely going away party. They have no idea at that time just how scared they'll be watching Psycho. lol

[@joeambrose3260]

Blah blah blah. STFU

Charles Otstott eventually became a Lieutenant General in the army

[@timl.b.2095]

That was a really interesting behind-the-scenes look. In 1960! And so cool that they were doing this for the crew.

[@comedyshorts2]

I saw this episode when it first aired in 1960.

[@JJJBRICE]

Those two service guaduates made their teacher very proud ! She sounds like vetaran teacher . I am afraid in the present time many people do not stay in teaching long enough to be a vetaran teacher.

[@jacklewis515]

Remarkable!!

[@michaelnivens6267]

Bill Cullen is amazing

I’ll say Tony Perkins had a secret...

[@joeambrose3260]

Hater !

[@nadiazahroon6573]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@virg0_lem0nade]

yes and i believe our dear Henry Morgan was known to have the same secret too..... if i'm thinking of the same thing you are. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Both very sweet guys and very talented.

[@JJJBRICE]

Outside The Musium of Broadcast History in NYCin the early 1980s . I was in a group of people who briefly met with Tony Perkins . He was a nice guy . He did not seem to be a menacing man at all . For my taste I would have preferred to have seen Ms. Leigh or Ms. Miles .

[@emmylou-y4b]

I find Henry Morgan so funny; he was such a curmudgeon.

[@nordvegfigg7746]

What a classy show. And wowza how about Betsy Palmer?

[@himwhoisnottobenamed5427]

Sad what happened to her son that summer at Camp Crystal Lake.

[@JJJBRICE]

Many younger commentators recognise Betsy Palmer for her work in the movie Friday The 13th . She took this now signature role because as an older over 50 actress she did not have a lot of money and available for roles were few and far between .

[@nordvegfigg7746]

She initially took the Friday the 13th role because her car had died on her. She wanted to buy VW Sirocco, which cost $10,000. The Friday the13th role payed $1000 a week for 10 weeks. That paid for her new car.

[@JJJBRICE]

@@nordvegfigg7746 The rest as they say is history . She appeared in movies with such well known figures as James Cagney , Henry Fonda , William Powell Tyrone Power , Maureen O Hara and Jack Lemmon . She appeared in a movie with similarly remembered for one movie role, Fay Wray . In this same movie she appeared and became a latter years friend of Joan Crawford . Apeeared in TV play with Jackie Gleason and was a girlfriend of a young James Dean . We are not even mentioning her long stint as a IGAS panalist .

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

​@nordvegfigg7746 what's interesting is despite the fact she took that role as a quick paycheck, she still put everything she had into it. Her performance was genuinely good

[@user-bj2lu9qt3o]

14:24 Tony ❤ Right before Psycho, wow.

[@SignalsOverTheAir]

I wonder if writer Peter Stone saw this episode when it originally aired and if he might of drew inspiration from that rare stamp set when he wrote the screenplay for Charade (1963).

[@joeambrose3260]

Who gives a phuck. Get a life!

[@karenbarlow-goodsell8483]

Did anyone notice that at 16:00 someone peaked through the curtain behind Garry and Tony and it looked like Betsy.

[@nadiazahroon6573]

Aww I was a month old.

[@dianepowers9643]

These were the good old days when men held a chair for the ladies and did not noit down until the lady was seated

[@virg0_lem0nade]

Yes i thought that was very sweet to see both Henry and Bill do that for the girls, Henry especially would always show in his manners that he was a very polite gentleman (despite his sometimes cranky stage-persona)

[@tugginalong]

Bill was working at the party. He had a mic in his hand apparently on another broadcast.

[@virg0_lem0nade]

i'm guessing it very likely was for "Cullen's Adventures", which came out around the same time!

[@raybenoit5238]

Im thinking this was right about when psycho was made

[@jimtrue1465]

Does anyone know why I've Got A Secret never ended with "This is a Mark Goodson Bill Todman Production"?

[@fromthesidelines]

Before 1959, it WAS. Mark and Bill sold the rights to the series to CBS in 1959 {primarily for tax purposes}. Half of "Telecast Enterprises, Inc." was owned by the network; the other half by Garry Moore, although Goodson-Todman was still involved in the production of the series.

[@JJJBRICE]

@@fromthesidelines Mr. Grauman did Garry Moore still own half of IGAS after he had the meeting with James Aubrey and ceased being the active host , during the Steve Allen last three years .

[@fromthesidelines]

I think he did.

[@JJJBRICE]

@@fromthesidelines Good for Garry Moore ! I would have thought that Aubrey would have bought Moore's half share to have complete control of the show . Like CBS bought Gleason's Peekskill house when he moved to Florida .

[@fromthesidelines]

That's one reason why Aubrey loathed Gleason. He didn't like disposing of Jackie's personal property....and he couldn't "control" him, period. "The Great One" was too successful in the ratings for "The Smiling Cobra" to cancel. Yet, it was because of a birthday party for Jackie in Miami Beach that Aubrey attended in February 1965 which led to his appearance at another, wilder one later that evening, in which he roughed up a CBS station owner's daughter-- and her father was on the phone bellowing to Frank Stanton, "Either do something about this or I'll blow the whistle!!!" That was one reason why Aubrey was unceremoniously fired from the network.

[@janyd9441]

Similar idea to "What's My Line" 😊

[@Maxxq123]

Ensign Alton Thompson whereabouts are unknown. Anybody know what became of this person?

[@DS-bq3gv]

“Thompson commanded his 3,600-man brigade at Annapolis, where he also captained the football team. He served as commanding officer of the nation’s first Trident-class nuclear submarine, the USS Ohio, and as commanding officer of the nuclear attack submarine, the USS Puffer. He retired as a naval captain in 1984.” Source: www.hpisd.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=924382&type=d&pREC_ID=1260104

Oh, Psycho! I thought he looked familiar. At first I thought he looked kinda nice, but no, that's all gone now. Urgh, that movie gave me nightmares and paranoia for weeks.

[@rayizard5687]

I totally disagree with that teacher! I was only average in High School and actually even failed a few classes, yet I graduated Magna Cum Laude from college and was accepted into one of the top Masters Programs in the country for my field of study. Unfortunately this was back in the Bush years and many states were broke and not offering much in the way of financial aid and I wasn't able to attend.

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

Congratulations! Sorry you could t attend. The teacher said it was “possible” but not probable. I would say you are an exception. Did you still go on yo get your Masters?

[@WConn100]

I had financial aid in college and grad school. It was called A JOB.

[@karlakor]

So how did Bill Cullen guess the secrets of the first contestants with such stunning accuracy? That was never explained, which annoys me greatly.

[@UFOBobTV]

Mr Cullen asked the two men to hold up their hands. When they did that, he could see their class rings indicating their graduation status.

[@virg0_lem0nade]

Bill is often so startlingly good at this game that it still makes me gasp, even more than 70 years later! haha

The psychological term was "Psychopath". The film made the word "Psycho" mainstream

"Psycho" the film is literally the very first time that slang was invented. And surely he wasn't wrong to say the movie was about a psychopath, because it is.
