What's My Line? - Eva Marie Saint; Tony Randall [panel] (Sep 7, 1958)

[@TheProfessorpat]

Eva Marie Saint was ahead of her time. So stunningly beautiful but unlike most of her contemporaries, she exuded a razor sharp intelligence and wit, along with an air of independence and self-assurance that was unmatched.

[@Baskerville22]

So, you thought she was alright ?

[@drumbum3.142]

Perhaps One of them Professor. I would Posit if not Counter however that there are.. ... a Couple Other Additional Performance Artists of this tîme/era of Equal "Unmatched" Independence and Self-Assurance. 🫶

Still alive today as well!!

[@broughtbackin]

She turned 100 years old a couple months ago. (2024)

[@hawkeyeten2450]

Apart from MAYBE Grace Kelly, she was hands down the most confident starlet to ever appear in one of Hitchcock's movies (at least all the ones I've seen). My jaw drops at how direct her character is at flirting with Cary Grant's in North by Northwest, she was straight up trying to seduce him at times. Very empowering tones and themes in that film.

[@JackDecker63]

Wow! One of my most favorite movies of all time and here she is in the process of making it. Wow. Simply wow.

[@lynnewayne6898]

Yes, it's always funny (peculiar) to see the stars of such now-famous films when they're only just making them! You can't believe that they didn't even exist then! It's sad that we seem to have lost the class and style of not only the film stars but even the TV programmes. Can you imagine anyone wearing evening dress for a panel show today! These are so enjoyable because they're funny, clever, gentle and clean. Talk about the 'good old days'! And I wasn't even born then. ☺️

[@JymboGG]

I have watched the part with Eva Marie Saint so many times. She's adorable.

You beat me to it, sir. I've been counting the days and she made it. TCM began her "Star of the Month" tribute last night with "On the Waterfront," "North by Northwest" and "A Hatful of Rain." She has truly had a wonderful life beginning with parents who loved and encouraged her.

[@richatlarge462]

Total respect for Eva Marie Saint. I've been reading up on her life (and she's still going at 96, now the oldest living Academy Award winner). "North by Northwest" was being shot here in September 1958, but Eva had just given birth to her second child on July 18 of that same year! I'm so impressed with her gradual ascent to fame and by her 65-year marriage in a city (Hollywood) where it was anything but the norm.

[@dzanier]

She’s truly a beautiful person. That’s a woman to marry. I loved her in On the Waterfront and Hatful of Rain.

[@hawkeyeten2450]

Reminds me a bit of Joan Leslie, she was only married once and actually left Hollywood to raise her family (Leslie actually rebelled against Warner Bros in the late 1940s to become a freelance actress because she was being presented in ways that went against her moral convictions and was sick and tired of being forced into child-like roles, despite being a grown young woman). On another note, Ms. Saint actually starred in some movies as late as the 2000s IIRC (she played the town librarian in an adaptation of the book "Because of Winn Dixie"). Talk about one long and impressive career!

[@JSB103]

Every episode a great big smile from start to finish.

[@louiso.4325]

Gorgeous. I fell in love with her when I watched North by Northwest

[@preppysocks209]

@John Texas MGM wanted Cyd Charisse for the role but Hitchcock insisted on Eva Marie Saint.

[@preppysocks209]

@John Texas Certainly Cyd Charisse as much as I like her was wrong for that role. But I don't think it is like Julie Andrews in My Fair Lady at all. Julie Andrews starred in the role on Broadway and unlike Audrey Hepburn could sing well. At least Julie Andrews won the Oscar for Mary Poppins after she was snubbed for My Fair Lady.

[@philippapay4352]

@@preppysocks209 Eva Marie Saint was an all 'round better actress than the exceptional dancer and good actress, Cyd Charisse. But it cannot be ignored that Hitchcock loved his cool blondes and Saint could play her looks either hot or cool.

[@JT-rx1eo]

​@@preppysocks209Hitchcock was obsessed with the icy blond archetype. Apparently.

[@JT-rx1eo]

Yea, especially with the dining car scenes with Carey Grant. Her mission was to seduce Mr. Grant and she ended up seducing not only Mr. Grant but every adult and teenaged male who has ever watched it.

[@petermalanchuk8210]

Oh, my goodness, Eva Marie Saint was just stunning, beautiful and gracious. I loved her part in North By Northwest, one of my favorite Hitchcock comedy dramas.

[@jamesfeldman4234]

So beautiful that Eva Marie Saint made a point of stating that "North By Northwest" was written by Ernest Lehman. Ernest wrote this screenplay specifically for Hitch and believed it would be the ultimate Hitchcock movie with the theme of "the wrong man" being pursued. The picture continues to captivate audiences. Also, I had no idea that Tony Randall and Eva were so close.

[@carol-q9q5g]

Oh my gosh. Eva Marie Saint is the essence of beauty and loveliness.

The picture that she was working on turned out rather well, one of the greatest movies ever made.

[@CamhiRichard]

Interesting, though, that she was supposedly working on the picture in New York. In the film, she doesn't appear until the scene on the train, which must have been done in a studio. She's not in any of the N.Y. location shots. And did anybody notice that practically the entire train sequence shows them passing a lake on the left side. Longest lake in the world? And between New York and Chicago!?

[@preppysocks209]

@@CamhiRichard a lot of the "lake" is actually the Hudson River. Some of the landmarks pictured still remain. It is possible that some of the hotels or the auction house or the train station, where she appeared, although supposedly in Chicago, were actually filmed in NY.

[@preppysocks209]

in addition, Hitchcock was not happy with the dresses that were designed for her. He wrote (and you can hear this in a TCM interview that Ben Mankiewicz did with EMS around 2011) that he took her to Bergdorf Goodman and allowed her to select her own wardrobe that would enhance her ability to play a "sexy spy lady."

[@emilsuda4101]

Bigfoot Mangiacavallo; as already pointed out that "lake" is the Hudson River. The actual location of Grand Central Terminal was filmed--the concourse--was filmed on location. The underground sequence of the platform and boarding the train was at the studio. You should especially note the Cary Grant is walking on the red carpet of The 20th Century Limited that was indeed used for the boarding of that train in real life.The Hotel that Grant is spirited out of by the two thugs is actually The Plaza Hotel, still around.

[@chiedu90069]

[@bigwilson8794]

I do remember the Kellogg's "variety pak", the small boxes of cereals with the dotted lines where you would cut and fan out to pour your milk into. My father would bring them on camping trips with the six of us kids, so we could chose our cereals.

[@gymnastix]

+Dick Wilson Yes, there were once four product lines of Kellogg's miniature-packs' cereals. They were -- Snack Pak (6 boxes, kids' line cereals with more sugar), Fun Pak (8 boxes, also kids' line), Variety Pak (10 boxes, mix of healthy and kids' lines; now marketed simply as "Kellogg's Variety"), and Jumbo Assortment (18 boxes, also mix of healthy and kids' lines). And by "healthy" I mean traditional "adult" cereals such as "Corn Flakes," "Product 19," "Shredded Wheat," and "Special K." I guess "Rice Krispies" would be considered a kids' line (because of its "Snap, Crackle & Pop" marketing), although it is lower in sugar than "Cocoa Krispies" and certainly also enjoyed by many adults. Today, I think only "Kellogg's Variety" pack remains. But there is also a 30-boxes' assortment of Kellogg's miniature cereals at the various warehouse chain stores (BJ's, Costco, and Sam's Club). Additionally, General Mills has its "Breakfast Pack" of 10 cereals. I eat "Honey Nut Cheerios" in regular box size three or four days a week already. But, when I am in the mood, I can still enjoy some "Trix" or "Lucky Charms" (am I imagining it, or have the marshmallows become smaller and less tasty?). I am unsure if Post still has its "Post-Tens" variety packs. I used to enjoy "Alpha-Bits," "Crispy Critters," "Honey Comb," "Rice Krinkles," and "Sugar Crisp," as well the classic "Raisin Bran." I understand Post no longer manufactures "Krinkles," but that "Fruity Pebbles" is its descendant. As I recall, "Krinkles" was similar to Kellogg's "Rice Krispies," only sugar-coated. I also always wanted to try "Post Toasties." Did Quaker ever have its own mini cereals' line? This would include "Cap'n Crunch," "Life Cereal," "Puffed Rice (and Wheat)," "Quaker Oh's," and "Quisp," among other of the QO lines. For whatever it's worth, I prefer the "Kellogg's Variety" to the General Mills "Breakfast Pack." And I also prefer Kellogg's "Cocoa Krispies" to General Mills' "Cocoa Puffs."

[@loissimmons6558]

+gymnastix Careful! You might get a reputation as a cereal killer! Other than the chocolate, Cocoa Puffs and Cocoa Krispies aren't exactly equivalents. The Puffs are corn based and the Krispies are rice based. The Trix you enjoy are basically fruit-flavored Kix, while Cocoa Puffs are chocolate-flavored Kix. There was also a sugar-coated Kix based cereal called Jets. It was discontinued in 1974. I remember a commercial that promoted three of the cereals that had the line: "Kix ... Trix ... yum, I like Jets." I couldn't find that commercial, but I did find this one for Jets, starring my favorite crime-fighting duo, Rocky and Bullwinkle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJWYkopngqhkhck Getting back to the comparison, the one advantage of Rice Krispies and Cocoa Krispies is that by adding some marshmallow you can make treats. Krispie Treats were part of the volume of Christmas cookies my mom (eventually with my help) made every year. It would be difficult to make cookies out of Kix or Cocoa Puffs without pulverizing them first.

Eva Marie Saint was astonished when Hitchcock chose her to be a classic 'Hitchcock Blonde' in the Grace Kelly mold. She got the full glamor treatment, Edith Head gowns etc. and having made several 'working class dramas' it was a dream come true. I find it hard to imagine anyone else in the role.

[@loissimmons6558]

I had started first grade around this time (Labor Day was on Sept. 1 and we probably started school sometime during that week). In NYC at the time, first graders went to school longer than the half day of kindergarten, but shorter than a full day (which started in second grade, including a lunch period for the first time in my schooling). When we were dismissed, we sang a song with lyrics that are a variation of a song that starts with "Now run along home and jump into bed." Because it was early in the afternoon, our song went: "Now run along home and have a good lunch; change your clothes and then join the bunch." I forget the next line, but I remember it ended with "and don't you forget: do your homework and then go to bed." One of my classmates, Todd Greenberg, always changed it to "watch television, do your homework and then go to bed." We wouldn't be watching WML, however. It would have been cartoons or "Superman" or some other kid favorite show.

you mean it isn't now?

[@tedthomas1993]

These people's lives did not exist outside of the upper East Side townhouses of Manhattan.. or Westchester.....that movie theaters existed in the Bronx, Brooklyn, queens or New Jersey was not in their scope of thinking....

[@ccbsnyc]

There would be occasional mentions of Brooklyn. I think Arlene and Martin lived in Riverdale at one point, and Bennett lived in Mount Kisco. But Queens, Lomg Island and New Jersey may have been on the moon as far as they were concerned, I can only remember Queens being mentioned in reference to the World's Fair.

Oops, I do believe Eva or John let one slip at 24:52.

You wish.

@@kennethlatham3133 I wish what?

The fire eater Helen Straus died in 1993 at 83yo! RIP.

[@wayne_twentyfive]

That little flick of Eva's left leg at 25.01 as she gave her friend Tony Randall a kiss was just adorable .. and very sexy ! .. She was as classy and humorous as she was beautiful .. Really enjoyed watching her !

[@MrDa47ve]

Eva Marie Saint is definitely a cutie.

[@johnhakel4933]

I love them all

[@MrDa47ve]

Unless I am losing my mind, this must have been the third or fourth fire eater I have seen on this show. I am surprised that the panel didn't pick upon this quicker.

[@gws51284]

Can anyone shed some light on the Jon Daly/Bennet Cerf 'tiff' referenced at the beginning of the show?

[@christinedorman3383]

I believe it was a reference to Bennett Cerf's role as one of the judges at the Miss America pageant which had been held in Atlantic City, The winner, Mary Ann Mobley (who went on to be an actress) was Miss Mississippi prior to winning the Miss America contest. John Daly is giving Bennett a hard time (teasingly) for the choice. I'm not quite sure why though as neither Miss New York nor Miss Massachusetts were in the top ten. The only top ten finalist from the NY / New England area was Miss Connecticut. Miss Mobley's home state, however, does explain John Daly's pun about Bennett's name being mud.

[@denisep.2037]

Here is the history behind the term “Mississippi Mud” as it relates to a song. In case anyone is wondering. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_Mud

[@mariocisneros911]

Eva gave more info than was needed , by adding romance in the movie

[@johnloudaros800]

Still with us at age 98

"We Missed You in Atlantic City John.." 😆😅😂😂😂😂

[@keithnaylor1981]

Arlene is simply the loveliest!

[@benjyfriedman]

I'm so disappointed that they didn't have Cary Grant on as a mystery guest, especially on this episode. It would've been neat, and I'd like to imagine that the whistling and cheering from the audience would've been much louder.

This was a year before North by Northwest.

[@nealhurwitz6340]

love her

[@jakebarnes7266]

Wonder why Eva Marie Saint's signature is so mangled? She's left-handed. Only a left-handed person as myself recognize that fact.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

Same here. It was difficult for me to write on a chalkboard in school. A lefty has to PUSH the chalk and it gets stuck. A right handed person just slides the chalk across the board.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Cerf could be a contestant on ‘What’s my Lie?”

[@megancrager4397]

What are you talking about?
