Dorothy is so skilled at drawing out even the most unusual occupations. She was really good at this.

Miss Faulkner was from Bristol, Tennessee and worked for a TV station in Bristol, Virginia. Bristol would be a single city except that it is separated into two by an imaginary line: the Tennessee-Virginia border runs along the main street of Bristol.

Considering he's been milking ONE hit song for over 60 years and his movie career is pretty much forgettable unless he had Dorothy Dandridge to carry him through it, his arrogance is very much misplaced.

Odds Against Tomorrow, the film noir picture they mentioned as currently running on Broadway, was directed by Robt Wise and starred Harry Belafonte, Robert Ryan, and Ed Begley with Shelley Winters and Gloria Grahame in supporting roles.

Zimbabwean currency. Smart and ambitious for sure, but not at all a “looker,” even when not compared to beauties like Arlene. The “cameraman” contestant is far more attractive but her job brings to mind the thought that if a casting director were called for an attractive woman, suggesting Dorothy would be career ending.

Beth Di Bartolomeo I have to guess that the guest and John were thinking of "who would hire her to operate a camera" rather than "who would enjoy indirectly the results of her work" (audience). Your suggested test case of child performers on a TV show is a good one, but rare enough that I'd be surprised if that were the basis of the panel's objection at the time.

I was amazed that Bennett who guessed Harry Belafonte was unaware of the magnificent film he was in “Odds Against Tomorrow “ . This was powerful film noir with Robert Ryan who was once on the panel. It struck me and perhaps others as strange.

I think it was a matter of perspective. To a layperson, a ferris wheel moves mechanically on its own witnout being aided/moved/pushed by a person. To an engineer who makes them, a ferris wheel moves only when a human operator activates it.

Interesting how Harry denied Arlene's request for him to sing a song for her! Of course, Louis Armstrong fulfilled her "Hello Dolly" request a few years later!
@rmelin13231 Жыл бұрын
I think I read somewhere that Louis was scolded for that. In this episode, Harry started to explain why he couldn't ("...my contract...") as performers were often limited in their ability to perform specifics outside of a contracted venue. (Those are my words, and probably not precise).
@waldolydecker81182 ай бұрын
We all love Arlene, but she had a bad habit (her only visible one) of imposing on multiple guests during the run of this show to "perform" on their way off stage. You would think that as a performer herself she'd be more aware that performers either contractually can't perform or do not want to perform unexpectedly, unprepared, or simply on their day "off." Her requests superficially appear "cute" but are actually inconsiderate and unnecessary. Most guests rightfully disregarded the impositions; Louis Armstrong accommodating and thereby encouraging it to continue was unfortunate.

@nycbearffАй бұрын
At that time many kinds of jobs were closed to women - and some unions de facto excluded women. If you weren't a man, you couldn't join the union, and you couldn't get a job in a union shop. The same kinds of things were done to exclude minorities from many fields of work. But - she could get a part time job in a small non-union TV station, because it probably paid too little to live on. And she probably made significantly less money than a man would make in the same job.
@chrisn72597 жыл бұрын
Ah, the uptight fifties. When Arlene asks. "Are you beautiful?" There's an awkward pause until they clarify it to mean handsome leading man. Of course he was beautiful, but people were afraid to use that term for a man then. If Matt Bomer were on today, everyone would just say yes.

"Beautiful" wasn't the issue. The issue was of modesty. Whenever someone is asked if they are "vivacious" "handsome" "a major star" "a blonde bombshell" John Daly answers in the affirmative so the guest doesn't have to to avoid being prideful.
