Great show! This show is 65 years old and I laughed right along with everyone else just like it was live. Polly Bergen, damn nice!

[@willisknapick4405]

This show reminds me why they called that time the golden age of television.

It was all or nothing for the panel leaning towards not doing well. Kudos to the contestants. Polly once again trying to take over the show. She was a gorgeous woman. It was great having Walter Slezak on the panel. Have you ever noticed that you can always hear Kitty laughing in the background. She always enjoyed herself on the show. Thanks for the video.

Italian fashion stylist Micol Fontana (1913-2015) founded together with sisters Zoe and Giovanna and other designers the Sorrelle Fontana fashion house in 1953.

McClellan represented G-T in the senate. He appeared as a mystery guest on WML and then his grandson appeared here. A wife and some of McClellan's children died in his lifetime. His was a life crowded in life's trials.

That Polly Bergen was such a character; a little flirtatious one, too. 🥰 Those “cowboys” were handsome.😍

Let a male panelist flirt with a female contestant and hear the screams of rage in the comments. Happens often in the What's My Line channel.

[@scottsdaleglenn]

They were very handsome!

[@kristabrewer9363]

I love the dresses ALL of those of ladies werer wearing

[@soulierinvestments]

Two months before Senator McClellan's grandson appeared on this program, his grandfather's Arkansas law partner disappeared. Some speculated that organized crime had a connection to this . Years later, Gerald Ford era, the senator opposed a judicial appointment because that person had "politicized" investigations of organized crime in Hot Springs. . . . well

At least I got 1 and 3 right...could not believe Polly said that to the cowboy!

They didn't get a years supply of Geritol !!!!

[@sbalman]

Whoa. The panel asked some really bad questions of the page boy.

17:59 Surreal to hear Hawaii be referred to as separate from the United States

[@JohnParks-zc1pn]

17:55 Although I was born in this country I have lived in Hawaii? Hawaii was not a state in 1957, but it was part of the United States.

Game 2 and 3 were real funny and unexpected,

[@Beson-SE]

13:15 Oh Polly, behave! :)

[@chasethrockmorton2736]

Johan Bengtsson, did she try to flirt with him? Lol.

[@soulierinvestments]

Game One, challenger three: I am reasonably sure that her husband appeared on WML.

[@totellthetruthcbs4220]

[@soulierinvestments]

To Tell the Truth (CBS) The name and the product. I think I remember it.

Internet spoiling and trolling is a sad indictment of today's joke society

[@peternagy-im4be]

Please remove this complete and utter troll from the comments section.
