PASSWORD 1965-02-11 Lauren Bacall & Jack Palance

[@blockcl]

Gotta love Lauren Bacall. Whatever IT is, she had it, and she knew how to use it.

[@kristenkaz3080]

She knew what she wanted & wasn’t afraid to act on it. Considering the era, that was hard for a lot of people to take. She was intelligent, humorous, confident, talented & gorgeous. That was a deadly combination. I’m certain some women felt threatened.

[@horaciocapanelli-soto4710]

Lauren is having so much fun 😅

[@aileen694]

Beautiful Bacall! Those exotic cat eyes and smoky voice! But compared to other episodes, she seems "flustered and giggly" here. Maybe the presence of Palance?

[@joeambrose3260]

Jack Palance , a true american bad-ass. His Oscar win was my favorite, doing the one arm push-ups and telling Billy Crystal " I crap bigger than you "

[@rufust.firefly4890]

SUDDEN FEAR

[@ryangreen2469]

Thank you for uploading, Seems Lauren makes Allen nervous, Jack Palance was a big strapping man- good looking and soft spoken. Enjoyed !

Two big stars that weren't on TV.

[@kevinvanmeter2264]

The announcer is Gene Wood who would in later years would announce Password Plus.

[@manidig]

And several other G-T game shows as well as hosting "Beat The Clock"

[@2005dave]

This was Gene’s first announcing job, having previously been an actor, comedian, and writer/producer. Little did he know what it would lead to! A month later Lee Vines took over as announcer and stayed until the end of the series.

[@cindytaylor9336]

Jack's mighty handsome on this. His striking Mongol eyes are really noticeable here. Loved it when he snapped his fingers at Lauren Bacall like he was adding up dollar signs.

[@juliezimmi9850]

Here he always is🧡

[@brianmitchell5906]

Jack Palance looked like he was just thrilled to be there.

[@manthony777]

The lightening round with Jack was not fair to the contestants. I don't recall him whispering like he did on this show. When I lived in NYC I'd run into MS Becall on the upper West side. Beautiful woman.

[@infonut]

Password is a game for people who know how to argue. Words are ammunition to people like these. Jack Palance doesn't look like the guy who argues much.

[@peppercat8718]

Yea especially when he said "the end" for the word marriage LOL

[@hifijohn]

They said every word under the sun except intoxicated.

[@GumbyPokey-c8w]

R.I.P Gene Wood 1925 - 2004

[@paullambert7840]

Jack Palance at 12:24 "What would happen if say, "What does your husband do for a living, and she said, 'I support him?'" I love how aware Palance was of this misogynistic line of questioning where Allen Ludden asks men what they do for a living and asks women if they have a family and what their husbands do.

[@nadiazahroon6573]

Did Betty not teach not to ask such stupid questions. She worked her entire life.

[@TheRivrPrncess]

It was not a misogynistic line of questioning. At that time most married women did not have an additional outside or at home job and many unmarried women of that time would soon quit any job after marriage. So really, it would have either bored the audience for Allen to ask a woman what do you do and most of the time hear her say she is married, or the audience would have soon wondered, "Why is Allen asking the women what they do?

[@deidremontrose4379]

Many women worked in 1965

[@manthony777]

@@TheRivrPrncess , at the time 62% of women worked outside the home.

[@FigaroHey]

They already knew the bio of the contestants. Why waste tine asking someone's job when you already know they are a housewife? The man's job helped to identify the class and education level of the housewife contestants. They ask 'Are you a working girl?' when they already know she has a job. People are so stupid jumping to conclusions based on modern hypersensitive political correctness than just thinking it through. You've got limited time, you don't waste it asking pointless questions about nonexistent jobs.

[@Rose-in1nz]

Terrific! Thank You.

[@Xander785]

Towards the end it seems like Jack Palance is under general anaesthesia …

[@ambientrelaxingandhealingm7552]

"Celluloid" was excellent for "Film" before he said that I was thinking "Kodak" (although there are no proper nouns as passwords, they can be used as clues).

[@janroldan4294]

Love her laugh 😃

Lauren looked better in the 1964 epi but she is a dynamite player.

[@kennysherrill6542]

She got me with the look when I was 16, I knew why Bogart fell for her.

[@Etnalleb]

I never saw what the big thing was about Bacall, I didn't think she was attractive at all but quite the opposite . She was scary looking to me. Palance probably one of the best heavies in all of Hollywood .Great Actor.

[@peppercat8718]

Scary LOL

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

Lauren aged badly.

[@donaldleroy6502]

I woulda said bond for spy, even though it was brand new in those days. It's so 😎 to watch Lauren Bacall, I'm not familiar with many of her films but 🔑 Largo is one of the greatest movies of all time. I often wonder if Jack Palance was ever offered the role of Superman, because I saw a clip of him doing one armed pushups with ease, and he certainly looks the part dontcha think?

[@johnryman-f3c]

[@LL-bl8hd]

With "intoxicated" I wonder if they would have gotten anywhere with "poisoned" (bringing in the idea of "toxic"). Or even "driving" (while intoxicated). The slang terms weren't getting them any closer.

[@loong111]

After the first attempt, should've said "formal"

[@aileen694]

Maybe this was answered but, why was "redberry" used as a clue for "hiss?" Not snake or cat?

[@marycook1644]

I believe it was the word raspberry !

[@aileen694]

@@marycook1644 Thanks for that...but I still dont see "raspberry" as a clear clue for "hiss." ??? Unless maybe the person said "rasssssberry," which I think, would be verböten! 😁

[@gusloader123]

Yep, Mark Cook was correct. It was a bad clue. Someone should have said: "Serpent's", "Snake", "Sound". I cannot understand how/why anyone gave this episode a "Thumps Up".

[@ambientrelaxingandhealingm7552]

DEFINITELY not the 1st (of course) however, I think maybe even as soon the 3rd definition (possibly the 2nd!) "Intoxicated" could have been guest with the clue "Technical"

[@teetarquin7012]

Exactly what I thought.

[@dangeroreilly2028]

after the first few clues for intoxicated, I wonder if driving........ and then hang on the word so the guesser knows something immediately follows it? Best clue for "spy" would be "espionage".

[@lindaroper2654]

These two movie stars were not real friendly. They didn't shake hands much.

[@freedomring4813]

Yea, a real disappointment to their true character.

[@gusloader123]

More importantly than friendliness between guest celebrities, is that they were not very good. The contestants trying to win some cash: They were not too bright upstairs.

Jack Palance was a crud here. He didn't even acknowledge the contestant who won $250 without one decent clue from Palance.

For "intoxicated," after dancing around with a few of the slang terms, I would've gone with "publicly," or "driving;" as for "spy," why didn't anyone use "surveil," or "peep?" Still, some very excellent word-play in this one. I've said for a long time: a celebrity might be able to play a smart person on TV, but it takes seeing that celebrity without a script to truly gauge intelligence.

[@kentetalman9008]

The most misleading word in the entire show: Jack Palance, introduced as "brilliant". He was a dullard!

[@FigaroHey]

Married to Bogart, Bacall must have known plenty of words for drunk. Someone should have used a word to describe the register of the word required, like 'offense' or 'legalese' or 'formal' or even 'multisyllabic' to suggest the form of the word.

[@madeleine9907]

Jack Palance was horrible at this game. Why did the producer(s) not interview him first before allowing him on the stage. My 12-year-old granddaughter knows more words than him. He starred at the audience and starred at the desk instead giving a clue. Many actors and actresses are like him: without a Cue Card telling them what to say, they are clue-less. The last woman contestant on this episode only made $50 in the Lightning Round because Actor-man was clueless. Sad. Clue for "Noose" shoulda-coulda been: "Hangman's" or Swing, Tree, or Tighten. For the word "Intoxicated" someone should have said: "Legal", "Limit", "Test", "Arrest", "Vomiting", "Obnoxious". "Loud", "Rude", "Violent". {[ As for L.B.'s looks and appeal, I have never understood what people saw / see in her. Carol Lynley, Barbara Bain, Eva Gabor, Elaine DeVry, Dorothy Greene, Paula Raymond, Marion Moses Bell, Diana Millay, Capucine, Lee Meriwether, Maureen O'Hara, Karen Steele, Constance Towers, Dee Hartford, Donna Reed, Carroll Baker, Angie Dickinson, and the "Armed Forces Radio Vietnam lady" Chris Noel, Cristina Raines, YES, but not L.B..]}
