Two observations; The first year the networks went color they really went COLOR! and that Bell wow, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.... I love it all and Arlene is icing on the cake, what a class act.

[@tutorlog7490]

Jack Cassidy was not only handsome, but he seemed to be a lot of fun as well!

[@waldolydecker8118]

he drank alot, so probably not when he was drinking. Outstanding Broadway performer though

[@gregfrank4115]

He always struck me as one who would be a lot of fun at a party.

[@moonchildluvsbobcrane]

Awesome video. Jack was handsome and David looked like him.

[@PhillipJames100]

Arlene....as beautiful as ever!

[@adrianharies9849]

Jack very handsome man back then.

[@robbernath]

Contestant Nan reminds me so much of Jane Curtain from her SNL days.

[@voicetube]

Agreed! :-)

[@kwjordy]

It is!

[@randilevson9547]

Big teeth and a weird grin. So, yes.

[@nunosoares2329]

Rest In Peace, Jack Cassidy, Allen Ludden, and Arlene Francis. Overdue condolences to the families for your loss. 😔💐💐💐

[@MrJoeybabe25]

I've said it before, but although the game is always fun, when you have good players it is fun, educational and exciting! Great players on this show!

[@iknowuare4716]

Arlene Francis was just beautiful. I still like Password Plus more as a game but the older ones are fun too.

[@drumbum3.142]

What a PRETTY Smile,!🎨 😊😊☺️😊

[@TommygunNG]

Barometers measure air pressure, not humidity. But it worked.

[@krisharrigan9614]

rip Jack and David

[@rockaway2k]

Boy, when Jack Cassidy turns certain ways David doubles him up and down!

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

At the same time, I can see why Jack was cast as John Barrymore. And he would have made a great vampire in the right vehicle.

[@janeiwasduncan8463]

Both died needlessly:(

[@MIKECNW]

@@janeiwasduncan8463 Yeah and didn't have a good relationship.

[@christopherthorkon3997]

Jack Cassidy was an amazing talent and were his two sons. So sad how he died (burned in a house fire).

[@a.rosesrbleu9580]

Like many people with bipolar disorder he self-medicated with alcohol and it took over... He had very similar facial features to a young Liberace...almost wax-like in appearance...He was a very convincing murderer on several Columbo episodes...

[@zephyr332]

Oh my gosh. I never knew he died that way. It's ironic, cause he was kinda hot!

[@Nancie680]

Wow I didn’t know that…and only 9 years after this episode

[@robsemail]

@@spockboy Paul Lynde didn’t die in a fire. He died of a heart attack in his home.

[@lindaharris6200]

4 sons

[@johnsmith-tr3dh]

if only someone would have said, "Hey Jack, dont ever smoke while laying on the coach in you apartment 9 years from now"

[@kwjordy]

Nan Hassert my eye. That’s Jane Curtin!

[@smadaf]

A hygrometer measures humidity. A barometer measures atmospheric pressure.

[@Chad.Tyrone4UNow]

Jack Cassidy is Awesome.😄

[@paulj0557tonehead]

Why isn't this more popular?

[@edibleapeman]

I love the generation gap at play here. It's the best part of these old episodes. Here is the earliest wave of the rising tide of boomers, young and "dumb" to the culture of their forebears. Fascinating.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

The daytime version really got cheap with the prize money, awarding $100 for winning the game. In the prime time version, the contestant got $250 for winning the game.

[@kurtmorris454]

but they got to play 2 rounds.

[@btpuppy2]

Jack is really smart. Arlene is also super smart but out of her element on Password ❤

[@parsonj39]

Weird how both Arlene and Jack speak that dialect that turns "partner" into "potnuh" and "fork" into "fawk."

[@todddepue681]

@Dbo83 it's that "transatlantic" dialect that theater actors used to learn. You also hear it in lots of old movies. It's a "refined" American/English hybrid accent that is never really heard anymore as it must be learned....doesn't really come about naturally.

[@todddepue681]

@Dbo83 always amuses me to think how these folks sound at home...saying really mundane things in that affected way. "We'ah awt of must-ahd" or whatever lol. Wha-tevah.

[@smadaf]

Arlene Francis put that accent on a lot, but not always. In unusually casual moments on What's My Line?, she talked like 'the rest of us'; otherwise, she dropped Rs. When a contestant on What's My Line? was from England, she put on a posh English accent. If the contestant was from France, she said some French words. It always strikes me as symptoms of insecurity. Orson Welles did the same thing.

[@robinblankenship117]

I've seen other episodes where Allen wears the green suit jacket. He looks very handsome In it. Plus a warm brown sued one plus a baby blue. Betty caught her a good one! They caught each other! Such a sweet couple.

[@bryanspindle4455]

I was expecting to see Arlene's trademark heart necklace that she always wore on What's My Line. Years later she was robbed getting out of a New York taxi and it was stolen.

[@irenedow5665]

Arlene had so much sorrow in co workers. Tragedy of Cassidy and Killgallen. Life is so short and unpredictable. Prepare to meet your Saviour.

[@TommygunNG]

Diana is too cute.

[@TommygunNG]

11:36 -- Sounds like Arlene Francis is telling the jobless reporter she'll let him know about a possible job. Him doing that on national TV makes him look rather desperate.

[@ReWriteMan62]

I completely disagreed with your second statement when I first read it. I happen to be a free-lance writer. And like any good journalist, I became curious and did some research. Thank you: it's proving to be quite an interesting story in the making. As I understand it, during the mid 1960's the newspaper industry went thru some heavy mergers and consolidations. When asked his job, the contestant stated he had been a columnist for a New York newspaper, which must have been a popular daily as both Arlene and Alan expressed sadness it had folded. Password, at this time, was taped in Manhattan. Ironically, it was canceled by the network bosses that September because the producers refused to move it out to CBS Television City here In Los Angeles. If I were a columnist looking for work opportunities,, you can damn sure count on my announcing my availability on a tremendously popular daytime CBS game show that was broadcast nationally. Desperate, no. Very savvy, and inspiring. Read on. Which is what I am doing in this paragraph. but this being 2021, my medium is tremendously popular KZbin, used and seen by billions around the world. Who am I? As I type this, I am a 'borrow from the past to adapt for the future" writer in Los Angeles. I'm a very passionate, very thorough. researcher, a dedicated fact checker, and I assure you I am never boring. I am currently working on my third novel but need additional challenges as we slowly exit the pandemic. (perhaps a bit long-winded and sarcastic). What I have read of Arlene in her autobiography and watching her in re-runs, I'm certain she offered and perhaps his next job was through her kindness or a solid lead. Heck, watching that episode has refreshed my optimistic nature. Thank you again for posting your opinion. Now, you have mine.

[@todddepue681]

@@ReWriteMan62Ms. Francis had the connections for sure! And the genuine kindness. It certainly seemed they were lamenting the loss of his column rather than pitying him.

[@littlelamb6804]

Strange contestant grabbing the hand of Jack Cassidy and refusing to let go of him. He looked a little stressed out trying to get his hand free.

[@TommygunNG]

Just difficulty maneuvering her chair. I suspect a reflex on both their parts not wanting to let go until she was planted in it. Besides, as cute as she is... :D

[@sharksport01]

I thought that was Mr. Humphries!!

[@Multi1mark]

I wondered if she was Jane Curtian disguised as Nan Hassert.

[@sharksport01]

She definitely needed cat-eye glasses with that Upsweep.

[@kenbrown438]

Allen keeps wipping his nose whith his finger !!!!

[@patriciapoole5038]

David looks so much like his dad

[@evalehde3869]

I thought of Cher, on vamp. She was V-A-M-P Vamp! Anyone remember?

[@donaldleroy6502]

Nan was a classy stylish chick, I hope she's had a wonderful life up til now and still going strong 😊. What about finicky to solve fussy? I'm sure the word was in use back then 😮

[@irenedow5665]

He and She series was good .

[@voicetube]

I was thinking maybe as a 1st clue, for "Handkerchief" one could try "Hankey" and maybe saying it with a bit of a stuffed up nose :-)

[@kj7653]

Couldn't use it, because it is a derivative.

[@voicetube]

@@kj7653 I'm not sure about that (by the way I had spelled it incorrectly and just corrected the spelling mistake - it's actually "Handkerchief." I'm pretty sure "Hankey" would not be considered a derivative just as if you used the clue "Car" for "Automobile." If you tried using the word "Auto" as a clue for "Automobile," that, however, would not be allowed, for the reason you proffer.

[@Justme85857]

This was a Great show back then, the new one sucks!

[@sheristewart3940]

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thessalonians 5:18, KJV)." Give thanks when you worship with your family ~ lovely sentiment stated by Allan Luden

[@randilevson9547]

Allen Ludden mentions Shirley (Jones, Jack Cassidy's then-wife) and Jack makes a terse comment, and has an uncomfortable look on his face. Or maybe I am just interpreting something that wasn't really there, as I know that Jack and Shirley eventually got divorced. Shirley Jones would later marry character actor, and slightly crazy person, Marty Ingles. Shirley is still alive, but Marty has passed away.

[@egilide]

Diana looks like Jessica Chastain!

[@stephenwinter8892]

I believe that there was alot of cheating or cover ups in the operation of this game away from the 🎥 greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
