PASSWORD 1965-06-24 Olivia de Havilland & George Hamilton

[@bethjones6104]

Olivia de Havilland in her later years lived in Paris. She was also good friends with Robert Osborne and every Sunday Miss de Havilland and Mr. Osborne would talk for hours. My favorite movie that Miss de Havilland starred in was the 1949 movie "The Heiress."

[@elliebellie7816]

I like this movie as well.

[@jubalcalif9100]

That's my favorite film of hers too. Lived to be 104.....bless her heart!

[@ericsamuelson5656]

George still looks great in 2019 at age 80 and still has that tan. God Bless Him.

[@karendeaton9297]

I may be the oddball here, but I simply enjoy watching everyone react and play the game. Such an opportunity to see who they were. The game was secondary.

[@christopheroliver7589]

You're not an oddball at all. I'm right there with you!

[@kurtmorris454]

well the game is fun to watch but the reactions certainly do add to it.

[@brianfrank7022]

I love this show and a time where celebrities would interact with regular people.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Yeah, they didn’t have to worry about crazed stalkers then.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Love watching these classic episodes! Been seeing some big name guest stars that I never knew til now had appeared on game shows!

[@arielledavisson8172]

This episode's words and players combination make this so funny.

[@RT804]

It's almost frightening how much more natively intelligent people were back then compared to now. Even the episodes with Joan Crawford, who didn't have much education past grade school she exhibits a native intelligence and quickness that most people today don't have.

[@phyllisarringtion5354]

kinda scary huh? I blame some of it on internet, cell phones, technology in general.

[@RayPointerChannel]

Is it naivete or just manners and restraint that you are observing? The level of "enlightenment" may be a relative thing. Perhaps people are far too cynical and affected today. And maybe that lack of "quickness" you cite is based on the tendency to over analyze things, or just a basic lack of language comprehension.

[@cindywatts856]

Parents were more involved in children’s lives and education years past. FACT!!!!!

[@faithfulforever6331]

It is because we paid attention in school and took education seriously. We learned through books and not technology and therefore, we had to remember what we learned because it wasn't easy to look up what we needed on a computer. Even as children, we read substantial books and learned vocabulary. Plus we wrote more by hand then and when you do so, it has been determined that it better improves remembering the information you wrote. We regularly took notes in school, which is not done at all now. Plus we knew as a nation that education was key to our success in the world. Those were the days when boys wanted to grow up to be in the space program as astronauts and women realized that so many career paths were open to them.

[@alanhumphrey4198]

All the folks making comments here must be boomers such as I am, born 1955.

[@Jsee66]

Hard to believe Olivia lived to be 104 and only passed away in 2020.

[@TopHotDog]

Too bad she didn't make it to 2023

[@Mrownica]

I am a man I was born in 1976 I saw Olivie de Havilland for the first time in the movie Captain Blood from 1935. Her appearance in the film was not only the appearance of an excellent actress but also an amazing beautiful girl when she was 19 years old she was young and beautiful actually hypnotized me You can it was possible to fall in love with her without memory at first sight. This film, due to her amazing beauty, not only spiritual, but also beauty, was deep in the mine mind. As soon as the news of her death appeared, I immediately remembered her actor creation in this film. Olivio died for the world I can only write rest in peace for me and for many other fans who love your by film creations you will live forever and you will always remain in our memory Robert from Poland

[@sharksport01]

Her movie Lady in a Cage was great.

[@Mrownica]

@@sharksport01 I have not seen the entire movie, I have only seen fragments of it I recommend My Cousin Rachel 1952

[@BigBingFan]

Fort Worth, Texas-----Great place! Glad to hear the first woman guest from my hometown!

[@carollewis3912]

I like the movie Light in the Piazza that George Hamilton and Olivia de Havilland were in.

[@susanb2015]

So do I.

[@jubalcalif9100]

That's a good movie! Thank goodness TCM shows it often. Since it was an MGM production, it's in their library. The late Yvette Mimeux gives a wonderful performance as Olivia's daughter.

[@opale1572]

Encantadora y bellísima Olivia de Havilland. 🙂👏👏👏👏

[@mnmz2]

RIP Ms Olivia de Havilland

[@pollytracey-mx1nt]

I agree with George Hamilton, “he could play all day and all week”. One really wants to watch this program all day every day also.

[@marycook1644]

Olivia ‘s husband’s book sounds great. 🦉

[@randysills4418]

George Hamilton certainly was handsome!

[@jubalcalif9100]

He was no Percy Helton, but Mr. Hamilton certainly was good looking!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Olivia de Havailand.....such a legend !!! George was in one of my all time favorite movies, Love at 1st bite, what a treat to see them together !

[@sheiladineen9483]

I would love to see that movie again!

[@sandragailgoudelock1531]

Wow! 2018 and both Olivia & George are still alive, amazing!

[@stottie92]

"Peter, what do you do? ... Helen Moore, I know you're married, what does your husband do?" Haha, wowee, what a different time!

[@RayPointerChannel]

It was called "civility." That seems to be a concept that has been lost today.

[@stottie92]

Oh heck, I know he was being polite. I was just pointing out the simple fact that not all that long ago, a woman's role was to be a wife, and her identity lay with her husband.

[@howardkerr8174]

People also forget that the players probably met the stars and Mr Ludden before the show to get them relaxed. If so, Mr Ludden would possibly know who was married. Or, he was just trying to put them at ease quickly, to get the game going.

[@scottroth9811]

Most likely contestants filled out questionnaires with details so Allen could greet them and set a relaxed tone before the game.

[@leeweatherly7659]

I think he knew beforehand who had a job and who didn't. I've seen plenty of episodes where he asked a woman about her job. But it wasn't as common then, so he wasn't going to ask every woman what her job was, only to have more than half of them explain that they didn't work and were housewives. Different era, he wasn't being sexist or insulting.

[@randysills4418]

I think that nightgown is definitely one word...

[@lynettepalecek3141]

She added a word to the word "nightgown."

[@randilevson9547]

I believe Ms. De Havilland said "dressing gown," which is indeed two words, therefore an unacceptable clue.

[@voicetube]

For "Hatch" I might have said "Emerge…" (Or possibly "opening")

[@kurtmorris454]

15:24 this isn't a game to be Sesquipedalian. It doesn't do you any good if your partner doesn't also know the word.

[@wolfchrt]

hamilton never did another password though lol.

[@voicetube]

For chain (even as a first clue) I would've stretched it out a little and bobbed my head a little bit (to show a progression) and said the word "Llllinks…" - For Robot even as a first clue (certainly later on it should have even worked better) "Automaton." (FYI that's not "automation" but spoken like "Uh-TOM-uh-tawn."

[@lynettepalecek3141]

You aren't allowed to use gestures so bobbing your head would not have been allowed.

[@voicetube]

@@lynettepalecek3141 Ahhhh.. But MANY times they allow some wiggle room. In fact I don't remember ever (or maybe once) when they actually penalized the contestant for using gestures. They were usually just given a metaphorical slap on the hand. So yes, absolutely bobbing the head a little, could work. Just not overdoing it for like 2 clues in a row.

[@MovieJon]

For "THEME" I guess no one thought to say "Tara's....." with Miss Melanie Wilkes right there!!! :-)

[@RayPointerChannel]

For theme, "premise" or "subject" would have been good clues.

[@garywarmee4367]

YES! It is fascinating to watch Scarlett's nemesis play this game!

[@kurtmorris454]

I wonder if you can say rodo for odor then say backwards? if not, which rule does it violate?

[@lynettepalecek3141]

The word "rodo" is not a word so that wouldn't work.

[@kurtmorris454]

@@lynettepalecek3141 there's no rule about having to use real words. they do that all the time.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

​@kurtmorris454 No they don't. I heard Allen Ludden say quite often "that isn't a real word so it isn't allowed."

[@kurtmorris454]

@@lynettepalecek3141 I've watched all the episodes and they often use made up words and get away with it.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

​@@kurtmorris454You're wrong!! You must have a very poor vocabulary. I can see that it would be impossible for me to ratiocinate with you so I'm not going to waste my time trying to do that.

[@Tonimaroni2BeKindToAnimals]

Hamilton is not just a pretty face ❤

[@robbernath]

"The little man's stuck." - hopefully not what Allen said to Betty on their honeymoon.

[@randilevson9547]

We have so much more access to information now, due to the internet, and the proliferation of cell phones. But people are much less intelligent now. We are no longer required to think critically, so our intellects are shrinking.

[@kurtmorris454]

witchcraft, doll, pins, still can't get it? need to draw a picture maybe?

[@lynettepalecek3141]

Yeah. I was shocked that neither one got it with those obvious clues.

[@lynnturman8157]

@12:49 For "director" I would've said "Scorsese". Duh....

[@karendeaton9297]

Was he around then?

[@sharksport01]

No

[@sheiladineen9483]

No.

[@gingermurray]

Olivia and her sister Joan Fontaine were very intelligent. Olivia was the better player tho. Quite a few celebrities had no business being on Password.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

For "odor" I would have said "skunk," "smell," and then "bad."

[@kurtmorris454]

uh storyline for theme? and no I didn't use siri.

[@jasonhurd4379]

George Hamilton always seemed like a gigolo

[@johnfd0210]

Yes. I have never been able to take him seriously. I watched this one for Olivia de Havilland.

[@faithfulforever6331]

George Hamilton seemed like a gigolo? I don't understand that.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

@jasonhurd4379. I disagree with you.

[@kurtmorris454]

I wonder how many synonyms there are for enormous? 200+? and they use at least one per show. and they always go down to 0. Doesn't make sense to keep saying Huge, large, gigantic, and so on. by clue #8 they get the idea and each pw giver can just say another over and over until the answer is given.

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

The start of this one was terrible, George and Olivia weren't great and neither were the contestants! Olivia settled a bit but you could always sense Allen was frustrated a bit when the answers were poor.

[@elliebellie7816]

Terrible game. George and Olivia should've donated their salary from this show to the contestants just because they were so awful.

[@Pagliaccimr1]

This George guy sure doesn't seem very bright...

[@beebeel6285]

[@sheila174]

Wow, George Hamilton was really TERRIBLE at this game!!

[@jasonhurd4379]

@Christopher Bingham He won because of his partners, not because of any intelligence on his part. He didn't know what a peignoir was, he couldn't think of a synonym for 'odor' besides 'smell', etc. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
