What's My Line? - Geraldine Chaplin; PANEL: Steve Allen, Martin Gabel (Jan 2, 1966)

I love it when John Daly repeats a panellist's question with great enthusiasm as if it's going to get a 'yes' and then adds 'no'. He also has a great poker face during the ambush laid down for Steve Allen when the breadbox maker comes on stage. I've never seen a more fluent and charming television performer than John Daly and he does his job so calmly under pressure of time that it looks effortless. If you've ever chaired a meeting or given a lesson or organised a show of any type, you'll know it's never effortless!

[@rmelin13231]

Absolutely! If one dissects his sometimes lengthy responses, one would have to admit that he does it so delicately as to not give away too much, and yet be truthful and precise, while not (usually) placing words into the mouth of the guest. A unique talent, one which his use of the English language is often nearly perfect.

[@kevinmadden1645]

"Doctor Zhivago", along with "In Which We Serve", "Oliver Twist", "The Bridge on the River Kwai", "Great Expectations", "Lawrence of Arabia", and "Brief Encounter", have two things in common. They were all directed by David Lean, and are regarded as the greatest British films ever made.

[@Beson-SE]

Zhivago and Lawrence are absolutely marvellous movies with fantastic film scores by Maurice Jarre.

[@soulierinvestments]

David Lean's film of "Dr. Zhivago" was advertised for months before it opened on 15 December 1965. Whatever gets Oscar nominated for best film in 2014 -- consider 1965 when "Sound of Music" "Darling" and "Dr. Zhivago" all vied for best film. I was lucky enough to see Dr Zhivago in restored version in wide screen in theaters twice -- and it is beyond amazing. It is true that it is not entirely faithful to the book and David Lean and Robert Bolt had to condense Pasternak's massive volume considerably, and it is still overwhelming anyway. If the reader has never seen it, find a way to see it, but be forewarned. You may go to pieces in places as I did.

[@Beson-SE]

I can still remember the first time I saw Dr Zhivago.It was a hot summer day and I was ca 14. The impression was breathtaking and almost 30 years later I rank this as one of my greatest movie moments.

[@519djw6]

I think the movie was much better than the book it was based on. Vladimir Nabokov thought it was melodramatic trash--although he did concede that Boris Pasternak was "not a bad poet."

[@chayashalom2065]

+R.D. Dragon My parents said it was a popular phrase in the 1930's ( back when people all HAD bread boxes ). So maybe Steve Allen just gave the phrase further life.

Since we've already seen the Polly Bergen episode (January 9, 1966; #798) that was posted in her memory last September, we'll jump straight ahead to January 16, 1966; episode #799. Episode #798 also aired last Christmas on GSN, when WML annually returned.

I would be surprised if young people today even knew what a bread box is. I remember one that my mom received as a shower gift back in '63, but we kept the bread in the fridge.

[@rockolutheran]

is this satirical, i cant tell

[@neilmidkiff]

Harold McGee, in the book "On Food and Cooking," says that bread goes stale faster at refrigerator temperature than it does at room temperature. In my experience, that's true for some kinds of bread. Other kinds at room temperature tend to get moldy before they go stale, and refrigeration is a good idea for best preserving those.

[@loissimmons6558]

My mom began keeping our bread in the freezer and I do the same when I buy bread. In addition to keeping the bread fresh, it also was better at preserving the cold cuts on the sandwiches that my mom made for me and my brother to take to school. We always brown bagged it for lunch rather than spend money on a school lunch.

[@neilmidkiff]

@@loissimmons6558 Yes, freezing keeps bread fresher longer than refrigerating, but unless making toast, I find it hard to thaw it without it getting soggy. I also got frozen sandwiches in brown-bag school lunches, usually with sliced home-cooked roast beef or other meats; Mom wouldn't feed us cold cuts. But though they were tasty and healthy, the bread on the sandwiches was either still a bit icy or rather damp, and that turned me off frozen bread, so I don't do that now.

[@loissimmons6558]

+Neil Midkiff How do you store the bread in the freezer? I store it inside of a plastic bag, and I find the bread gradually gets drier, perhaps due to the automatic defrost function of the freezer. So I don't find my bread becoming soggy when it thaws. I also find that it thaws pretty fast if left out on a plate at normal room temperature (not the Steven Wright definition of room temperature). That's because with all the air holes from the leavening action, a slice of bread has a lot of surface area. Contrast that with the length of time to thaw a frozen English muffin with its smooth outer surface (I don't store them pre-cut) and relatively small amount of surface area. I also like frozen bread for times when I am spreading something on the bread that tends to tear a soft piece of bread (e.g. cream cheese). Living alone, a large loaf of store brand bread would go stale if I didn't freeze it. And growing up in a lower-middle class family, I learned to pinch pennies. I buy bargain brands and I sometimes buy cold cuts. Sometimes I will buy sliced roast beef (which I like with lettuce and mayo). But I also buy hard salami (never Genoa), classic bologna, olive loaf (although I don't see that very often these days), boiled ham (w/ sliced cheese or cream cheese) or liverwurst. And occasionally I will get corned beef or pastrami. But I prefer to get those, especially the latter, if I am out at a good deli. Pastrami (not too lean) on a round roll w/brown mustard, a garlic pickle spear, maybe a small side of cole slaw and a Dr. Brown's soda (black cherry, cream or root beer): I'll take that over any fancy-schmancy 5 star French restaurant any day.

[@nickellodeon55]

If that's the original opening, it's the only WML I've ever seen without a sponsor mention.

[@neilmidkiff]

When the Game Show Network was running these, they clipped out the original commercials in order to insert their own. The gap in the sound at 0:23 is where the original announcer said "Brought to you by..."; then the sponsor's product would be shown and mentioned, then the animated opening title would finish. Gary has spliced original commercials back in to a few episodes where they were available; a good example is the October 17, 1965 show with Oscar Levant as the mystery guest.

[@rebeccagable9629]

If there are any readers out there, the book "The Velveteen Daughter" shows the fascinating connection between the author of "The Velveteen Rabbit" (Margery Williams Bianco) & Oona O'Neil. Margery's sister's daughter was Agnes, who married the playwright Eugene O'Neil, & gave birth to Shane & Oona. A very interesting book--highly recommended!

Has Arlene ever appeared with 3 guys on a panel before?I know Bennett has appeared with a female panel.

[@loissimmons6558]

Dorothy appeared on the first episode in 1950 with 3 men. Same for Arlene in the second episode of WML. Both times the men were Dr. Richard Hoffmann, Gov. Harold Hoffman (NJ) and Louis Untermeyer. Episode 3 was the first time Dorothy and Arlene appeared together and from then on, the vast majority of shows had two men and two women on the panel. Gov. Hoffman left the panel at that point. Hal Block replaced the dull Dr. Hoffmann on episode 4. Arlene was the only person besides John Daly who was on the show for basically the entire run of the show, every season. (Bennett appeared in every year, but his first episode was in October 1950, the second season's fifth episode. He joined the panel as a regular 5 months later when Untermeyer departed the show under unfortunate circumstances.) Only John appeared more often (873 episodes to Arlene's 831). And Arlene was a panelist for all of her appearances. Dorothy was a Mystery Guest once. Bennett Cerf moderated WML one time.

Mary acted scared stiff 😅

someone must have sedated Mrs McClung in the green room - geesh, she didn't even acknowledge Steve Allen without whom she surely would never have been on the show

Is Arlene Francis wearing a wig on this program today? Her hair seems so much thicker and straighter than usual.

Was Johnny Olsen's voice on another game show?

[@rivaridge7211]

Johnny Olson was the announcer for several game shows over the years, some of the more well-known ones are, "To Tell the Truth," "Match Game," "Name that Tune," and "The Price is Right." When Mr. Olson suddenly passed away (at age 75) in 1985, a tearful Bob Barker (host of "The Price is Right') announced his death and noted that the show had lost a "beloved family member." It was a very touching tribute which I can still clearly recall.
