PASSWORD 1963-05-13 Olivia de Havilland & Anthony Perkins

[@skipeastport5529]

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? The game is intelligent. The players are articulate and gracious. There’s nothing remotely offensive about the production. Wait! I think I just answered my own question.

I have Olivia's movie Lady in a cage on DVD. It also stars James Caan in his debut performance. It is a thriller. I also enjoyed her in The Screaming Woman. She lived a long life to 104 & was the last surviving actor from Gone with the wind. I think Anthony was sweet & handsome. He will always be remembered for being Norman Bates but he has been in many great movies. He was awfully good in Five Miles To Midnight, Desire Under The Elms & Green Mansions IMO. Sad that most of these great celebrities are gone now.

Allen Ludden is very classy, polite and encouraging. Love these shows!

[@norabatty9610]

[@faithfulforever6331]

I like Anthony Perkins hair and interesting that Allen Ludden would suggest it was too long. It is short by today's standards.

[@519djw6]

When I look at the date for this show, I see that it's a little bit less than a year before the Beatles came to America and changed men's hairstyles almost immediately!

[@faithfulforever6331]

@@519djw6 Well, I think even in 1963 in the US men's hairstyles were beginning to be on the longer side and something people tend to forget unless they lived during those times was that men's hair in the 1950s was not short, especially on top of the head. Short back and sides meant that the top was kept long. It just didn't seem so long because some type of hair product like Brylcreem plastered down the length, but the length was still there. Only with the late 50's and early 60's did haircuts like the flattop and "Princeton" did really short hair for men become fashionable and that was largely because these short haircuts were easy to take care of and didn't require much hair product. So really when the Beatles brought in "mop tops," men just went back to the longer styles. But then by the 1970s hair really did get much longer. Now I think there is a movement back to really short hair, at least in young guys. Every generation of men has a tendency to wear their hair different from their fathers. I like Anthony Perkins hair in this video.

Our conservative uncle used to comment often that my brother's and my hair was too long and it was just a little long for the time. He had a crewcut... not becoming...

When Tony said Chief Administrator instead of Executive he started his own losing battle, but at the last turn he managed to win just like good players do.

[@andreaidesalvo9738]

Anthony Perkins was perfect in the role of the murderer in the Hitchcock movie! He was a troubled man in real life but a good actor!! Olivia was a great actress I did not see many of her movies but she was unforgettable as the character" Melanie " in the movie " Gone With The Wind "!!!

[@JasmineSurrealVideos]

Anthony Perkins REALLY REALLY REALLY wants to win, it's like a psychological compulsion, a drive and desire to win. Wow he's competitive. Mind you so am I when playing Scrabble. Although he doesn't punch the air and go I win I win I win in a silly voice like I do! Even the audience chuckles at his eagerness to win. When he doesn't he crosses his arms and looks mute and miffed. He's very intense isn't he but in a laid back quiet way. Fascinating psychology. Joan is a great player but isn't hyped up by the drive to win, she has a wonderful diction and speaking voice, just lovely to listen to.

[@skipeastport5529]

Tony Perkins was obsessed with game playing in real life. He held legendary parties in which he and friend Stephen Sondheim would devise clever games requiring sharp language and deduction skills. One of the games they concocted formed the basis for their 1973 murder mystery film The Last of Sheila. If you’ve never seen it you should check it out. It’ll keep ya guessing until the end.

Olivia and Anthony were both such good players. Did anybody think of the lady from Beverly Hillbillies when Gladys came out? No disrespect but that's who she reminded me of. And the high school student? She seemed a little older to be in highschool but she may have just been mature. I love these old episodes of Password, they don't make shows like this anymore.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

The movie Olivia mentioned having just completed called "Lady in a Cage", (for which she was paid a whopping $300,000) wasn't released until the summer of 1964. The movie mentioned by Anthony Perkins called "The Fool Killer" wasn't released until early 1965. Too bad about the loud mouthed guy at the end doing the GSN promo. I had to mute his screaming.

I'm not sure if back in 1963 they had the term "fender bender" but for "Fender" I think at least as the 2nd clue, "Bender" might do the trick. If it wasn't a term back then, probably not :-)

Not to mention that a TV soundstage has a very high ceiling, and the sound tends to go straight up and out. Unless you have an earpiece, it can be hard to hear others on stage unless they facing you directly.
