Often, people don't realize this language imbalance -- but if, for example, instead of saying "Here's our next contestant, a man from New York who works as a school principal," a game show host were to introduce a grown adult male contestant by saying, "And here's a boy from New York who works as a school principal," I think it would sound strange to most people's ears.

11:40 The second male contestant looked as if he had no teeth. The movie "The Fool Killer" that Anthony Perkins mentioned as having just completed, wasn't released until April 1965. It's a very good movie, and one of his best from the 1960s.

[@ambientrelaxingandhealingm7552]

As far as a one-word clue for "Trap" I might have gone with "Ensnare."

[@danmasters1568]

$500 in 1963 $4800 in 2022 Not bad for playing a game for 10 minutes

[@loissimmons6558]

If the male contestant in the second game had lost, they probably would have needed to bring him back on a future show. Back to back mistakes by Allen Ludden occur in that game favoring his opponent starting at ~13:26. The word is "cling". Her answer is "clinging". Chances are that she would have gotten the right answer, but Allen should have said "roughly a form of the word" and given her one chance to say the correct word. Either no one on the production staff caught it or they weren't able to alert him to do it. But something distracts Allen. Apparently they finally got his attention but by this time (~13:52) he says to someone off stage "Go ahead and play it?" Perhaps because he had already handed out the next word, it was too late to go back. But then he lets Tony give the first clue for that next word. Since his team was given credit for guessing the previous word, Carol should have given the first clue. But Tony's partner got it on the first clue, a ten point word giving them a 16-0 lead. But all's well that ends well. Carol and her partner ended up winning the game.

[@millietunstall8616]

A lot of mistakes like that were made in the first version. I watch all 3 versions every day & notice how ridiculously picky they are some stupid things but then let other things slide. I enjoy super password the best, hosted by Bert convey. They have a lot of fun. Allen always wants to cut the laughter short & move on with the game. He was too serious.
