What's My Line 1955 with Sammy Davis Jr. | Buzzr

[@daler.steffy1047]

I'm always impressed with how John Daly, in a loving and parental way, keeps his panelists in check with respect to their behaviors and lines of questioning. Here is a man who is intelligent, humble and funny, all three qualities that are often collectively not (always) seen in one person. (I'm speaking in present tense, of course.)

those comments about miss murphy’s weight was very rude!

[@wgrady222]

Love the show, but, a lot of comments wouldn't be allowed nowadays.

Not allowed by whom exactly? Only by losers and nobodies.

Bennett Cerf's comment toward Miss Murphy, "[You] don't do it solo!" (followed by a snicker, from Arlene Francis) was completely disrespectful. Bennett Cerf was a pompous, arrogant old fart; he needed somebody to bring him down a notch or two with respect to his over-inflated ego. Of the number of these programs I've watched, for the most part, I just can't stand the guy! It would have been a pleasure to tell him off, but then that would have "brought me down to his level" of ignorance and (and maybe just plain) stupidity; and it would have been a waste of my time because I doubt he would have had the ability to be introspective to begin with. ~ One's intelligence is an interesting phenomenon in itself. We often don't credit an individual's ability for curiosity, introspection, empathy, sympathy, and humility as examples of what can make a person most interesting and desirable to be around. These qualities are major contributors in what makes up one's intelligence, in my opinion.

[@daler.steffy1047]

But I still love Arlene Francis because, in the end, I think she was a genuinely loving and humble individual who sometimes just got caught up "in a wrong moment," as we all do. And as I've said in other comments in other episodes, I have continued to appreciate her humor, her quick wit, because it greatly defined her beautiful human qualities.

They sure were prejudiced against heavy people back then.
