Considering how campy the show was it doesn't surprise me that they'd let the trainer keep his mustache. After all Ceaser Romero kept his.

[@jtkirkfan2002]

You have to think about how TV was made in the 1960's. It was made for standard definition TV's that were receiving grainy over the air transmission instead of high-definition digital video. I guarantee that practically no one saw the mustache in the quick cuts they were using for the fight sequence in the days before pausing the picture was available. The producers never envisioned us being able to scrutinize an episode frame-by-frame like we can today. In their estimation, the show would run once for its original broadcast and once in reruns and if it was lucky, a few times in syndication. Regardless, I can't see anyone being shocked that they would use a double in this scene.

[@ricknineg]

This videos main focus was the tigers paw and the dudes hand haha

[@jagmarc]

60s was long before 'standard definition' was heard of, back then had way more temporal resolution i.e. the scan lines on the screen dissappeared because there's so much wide band real time information that you didn't notice the lines

[@Macdelaven]

Also, VCRs were not available and most people at the time had black & white TVs. Most campy shows of the 60s could not hold up to any visual scrutiny. It's fun to highlight them though so thanks for the effort!

[@jagmarc]

The color wasn't important in the 60s when TVs were mono, in fact when color first came out in UK many people used to have de saturated picture because too much colour distracting. You really could then watch a snooker game in monochrone and know which color was which by the shades of gray. Interestingly, the Batman series in UK even though in monochrome then was very clear movement. By contrast some other American TV shows less 'live action' and more 'spoken dialog' even though they were seen in color they had horrible blurry smudgy movement compared to the picture quality of Batman. I think it was because programs like Batman may had been delivered in film print didn't go through a conversion.

[@miketype1each]

Also, they had little time to film, as production costs were high. These "goofs" are production crews trying their best to stay on schedule. We may have noticed these "errors" at the time, but the action was so fast, maybe we didn't believe our own eyes? Nonetheless, it is cool to catch a glimpse of how these shows were made.

[@tonyworrall7379]

I didn't notice either of these things back in 1966! The action was so fast paced at the time!

[@oantech4252]

Great find Rick... Back then we only had TV to see the episode and no way of slowing it down.. As far as the trainer doing the scene, I think it may have been dangerous for him wearing a scary black mask and cape. The tiger could have reacted in a more aggressive or confused manner and harmed him.. Another mustache trivia... Ceasar Romero (The Joker) refused to shave his off in all his appearances and they just ended up plastering it with the face color to try and mask it...

[@JohnnyTyrone77]

“The Joker ain’t shaving his “stache” neither am I!” Lol!

[@sandybruce9092]

Absolutely! Caesar Romero refused to shave his mustache as it was his very well-known signature! Yes, you can see it, but so what!!! He was a perfect Joker and I just saw him last night and Penguin made an appearance near the end!!!

[@miketype1each]

At the very least, some flesh-colored face paint could've been applied to the trainer's 'stache, but perhaps it might've confused the tiger? Animals see in pictures, which leads me to believe the trainer may have practiced his scenes wearing a Batman costume. You know those videos where a toddler's dad shaves off his beard? The kid cries! Am thinking I wouldn't wanna do the same to a tiger, maybe.

[@lpdog82]

[@ddavenpAZ]

You gotta “hand” it to Thing, he managed to find work after the Addams Family! ✋ Seriously though, great video and although it was pretty obvious it was the animal trainer in the tiger scene, his appearance, mustache and all, just adds to the campiness that was the show!

[@AmericanActionReport]

I also noticed that "Batman's" belt was a couple of inches higher than the Adam West "Batman's" belt. That was a popular style for older men in those days. Even the position of the 1940's and 1950's Humphrey Bogart's belt is comical by today's standard's. BTW, the use of the trainer reminded me of Lon Chaney's character getting attacked by a "wolf" in "The Wolf Man." The "wolf" was, in real life, Lon Chaney's German shephard, and Lon Chaney was playing with him.

[@jewabeus]

I was 8yo when Batman premiered. Until then my only hero was Superman and his Show was on in the late afternoon. I never noticed any bloopers. I was always usurped with the situation and how Batman would get out of it. Mind you, the episodes were only once a week. I'd be wrapped up in the cliff hanger. Although I knew so much of it was fake, like the fights, I was thrilled to have Batman as my hero and to get out of his predicament, catch the villains and go on to the next week.

[@ChannelWright]

There’s a “making of Star Trek” book from years ago that explains this. These shows were shot for small Low resolution TV screens (often black-and-white in those days), and expected to be viewed once or twice before disappearing. No one expected we’d be able to own these episodes, project them on large high resolution television screens, and scrub through them examining every detail.

A least some of the hand would have been cropped on by the television sets from that era. Cesar Romero (Joker) refused to shave off his mustache as well. Even on the TV sets from the 60s you could see his mustache under the makeup.

What this comment section needs is more people in the comments saying Caesar Romero kept his mustache.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

[@James-w1e5k]

They had done this since filming began way up to digital media when this was used. It's not a trick, it was called a technique. Gilligan's Island episode had the same situation. When the tiger drifted onto the island, Gilligan was the only one the tiger liked. When Bob Denver had to shoot the scene in close proximity to the tiger he said he just froze. Camera angles, camera shots (then called trick shots) used the trainer. Why didn't the trainer shave his mustache off? It's now thinking that is not then thinking. "We need a tiger and trainer. Hire one we can use." No need to shave it off. The tiger was the actor. The trainer controlled the tiger. He was hired to make the tiger work. Not to shave. Some actors insisted on doing stunts like these in order to have bragging rights. I can't remember what 1960s actor insisted on doing his stunts with, yes, a tiger. They used a real tiger. Shooting the episode, the tiger struck forward at the camera man doing a straight on shot. To protect their actor, a 3 or 4 inch thick sheet of tempered glass was in between both to protect said actor. You want fake? Johnny Weismuller's underwater fights with crocodiles was a stuffed rubber croc prop in Tarzan. They reused the shot in the Denny Miller remake of Tarzan in the late 50's or early 60s. Since it was a color film, they put an optical shading to it to hide that this was not Miller. Just informing. I'm old. I'm 60, have been there for most of this, and know the history.

[@varrick1226]

You're amazing to pick these things up. I guess now with HDTV you can pick up a lot of these things. Love all your work. Rick, have you thought of doing the story of the old Columbia Ranch site now demolished? Where they filmed outside shots of BeWitched, I dream of jeannie and Hazel? Thanks.

I doubt one single person watching the show in the 60's saw a hand. Or a mustache. We didn't have any way to record shows and play them back in the 60's, we certainly didn't have any frame by frame capability to analyze shows. Those were great times to be a kid.

Very cool Batman trivia. Thanks!

[@jongilbertson2106]

I remember watching the episode. Cat woman had Robin tied up on a plank and was lowering him into a den of tigers and Robin said”Cat Woman, you are not a nice person.” I guess he told her! Also while Batman was avoiding the tiger, Cat Woman says, “ you better be quick, Batman. That tiger has not eaten all day .” Batman replies “ you should take better care of your pets, Cat Woman. They are your responsibility.” Even with his life on the line, he wants to send a good moral message.

[@josephosheavideos3992]

I have heard and read that Burt Ward/Robin actually was suspended over a den of tigers for that scene. Ward does claim that because his mask exposed most of his face, he had to perform almost all his own stunts, unlike Adam West/Batman who had a stunt double for the fights.

There is this thing all you "youngsters" forget. The old school CRT TVs had what is called "overscan". What it boils down to is this. There is a 7 - 10% boarder all the way around the image that was NEVER seen by viewers watching on the standard TV screens. That part of the image has only become visible when we started watching on digital flat panels. So its no surprise producers would let a gaff like this go. They knew 99% of viewers would never see that.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Right! And the tv picture was warped at the sides and top too

[@detpak]

Always funny he puts the ear plugs on the outside of the cowl and not in his ears. Holy Ear Plugs

[@josephosheavideos3992]

There are two good reasons for that; 1) we viewers could not have seen the Bat Ear Plugs if Batman had inserted them under his cowl, 2) the cowl fit Adam West's head so tightly, there was no room for Batman to have inserted anything under them.

[@alanr4447a]

I have noticed the man's mustache in recent years. At any rate, "The Purr-fect Crime" was, as you say, the title of episode 19, part 1 of that Catwoman two-parter. But then you tell how what you see is in part TWO of it, which is episode 20, "Better Luck Next Time". Oh well. Earlier in Part 2 I noticed that during the "Part 1 recap" there's a shot not actually from Part 1 showing Batman walking over to choose which door to open, and this appears to be the Batman with the mustache again! Also, I noticed, I think way back in 1966 even, in Part 1 itself, when Batman is faced with the choice of doors, he chooses the door on the RIGHT, and we cut to the door sliding open to reveal the tiger; but as the tiger leaps out of that room (complete with freeze-frame), we can see that it's leaping from the LEFT-hand room (because the buttons to open each room were both on the wall between the doors, and we can see the button TO THE RIGHT of the room the tiger is leaping from, meaning that the room is ON THE LEFT of the pair of them.) Thus it seems that Catwoman had it rigged so that no matter which door Batman actually chose, the tiger-room would be the one that opened (not that it seems possible that Catwoman was behind EITHER door anyway, as she was off in the main hideout room where they were watching what was happening to Batman and Robin down in the 'cat'-acombs)!

[@aviatortrucker6285]

Cesar Romero, who played the Joker had a very distinct mustache. He too, would not shave it off so they put gobs of white make up to cover it. If you look closely at the joker, you can actually see that he is sporting a mustache beneath his white makeup. Another issue or photograph trickery was when Batman and Robin were scaling the building with the rope. They were actually walking across a floor turned sideways. There was strings that pulled their capes straight back to make it look like they were going up the building. The guest star who peered through the window was actually coming up through a floor hatch door. Noticed that Batman and robins cape were perfectly rolled straight back, and Batman’s cape was not, or I should say Robin, who was in front, his cape never was touching Batman, who was directly behind him.

I saw "Batman", at age 19, from its beginning in Jan.1966! If you lived in the NYC area, you'll remember that it started during the famous NYC subway "transit strike", so commuting home to see it was very difficult! When I first saw the series, I was disappointed that it was done in a "campy", rather than serious style, as was "Superman"! In awhile, one grew used to it & with so many famous persons, as villains, it helped to keep the show interesting!

You said that Batman episodes were 2 parters, but that's not completely accurate. That was true for Season 1, true for most of Season 2 (there were a couple of 3 parters), but mostly untrue for Season 3. During Seasons 1 and 2 two Batman episodes were aired per week (Wed & Thurs), which was why they were 2 parters; but during Season 3 there was only 1 episode aired per week.

[@billgreen1861]

Hi, Rick ! I never noticed that mustache before, great catch but, the hand on the tiger's paws was not visible on the old TV sets because if you remember the screen used to have a frame around the picture tube. So, there was missing resolution but, that was another great catch. 😊

[@Bill23799]

It's a good thing that the Tiger was not a fan of Lost in Space and carrying a grudge against Batman for getting his favorite show cancelled.

Maybe the mustache is how the tiger recognized the trainer in the batsuit.
