About 25 years after this episode, Yves Montand starred in a pair of movies that are among my all-time favorites: Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring. Based on novels by Marcel Pagnol, these French films were superbly done and won a number of international awards. The cast also included Gérard Depardieu, Daniel Auteuil, and Emmanuelle Béart.

During one of the many times during this episode where Arlene was smiling and laughing, I wondered what would she and Bennett and Dorothy and John would think if they knew that they were still delighting audiences with their performance on these shows some 50-65+ years later (depending upon which year the episode originated).

No one making films from the '10s to the '40s would believe that the television age would not just give their product new life, but that their films would become immortal and be enjoyed practically forever. Likewise, people of the early TV age could not foresee the age of the internet and their product could be enjoyed by generations to come around the world. I see a day when Moon or Mars colonists are watching WML reruns. What would A, B, D, & J think about that?

For the record, since nobody has yet posted a comment on it: WHAT'S MY LINE? was pre-empted by CBS the following Sunday, 29 October 1961, by a 90-minute made-for-TV adaptation (by Dale Wasserman) of Graham Greene's "The Power and the Glory," co-produced by Ronald H. Gilbert, David Susskind, and Renee Valente, directed by Marc Daniels, and with music by Lawrence Rosenthal. The cast principals were Laurence Olivier, Julie Harris, George C. Scott, Martin Gabel (as the Chief of Police), Roddy McDowall, Keenan Wynn, and Patty Duke. Also in the cast were Val Avery, Linda Canby, Frank Conroy, Cyril Cusack, Mildred Dunnock, Thomas Gomez, Mildred Natwick, Fritz Weaver, Florence Stanley, Joanna Merlin, and Steve Curry, among others.

Frank Engelhardt It is a pity. I also think James Dean would've been a fantastic mystery guest. Actually I wonder if it was a 'no-no' for any member of Strasberg's "Actors Studio" as notably people like Brando, Dean and Steiger don't seem take part. Monroe was also a member for a while though she clearly co-operated with the idea of celebrity as well as ambitiously wanting to better her acting skills.

Mrs. Eaton is niche famous, since she and her husband co-booked wrestling and boxing for the LA Olympic Auditorium from the 40s on, and it was an active hub for several different wrestling promotions, and a boxing hotbed. (It was also the backdrop for some movies like The Manchurian Candidate.) She fell in love with boxing when first working at the Olympic (actually, she was inspecting it for financial irregularities), and way preferred it over other things she promoted. After her first husband (Martin LaBell, which I mention because it’s weirdly hard to find in) died, she married Cal, who at the time was a boxing commission inspector. When they partnered up, he did more of the wrestling and she did more of the boxing; once he died in ’65, she did both. (And also roller derby and concerts and whatever the hell.) The Olympic was The Place for wrestling and boxing in the area, so she was really quite central to the whole thing. (She also promoted some matches at, frex, Dodger Stadium.) She and Martin had a couple kids, one of whom, Gene LeBell, is famous in his own right for various movie and TV stuff, and judo & wrestling. (Judo Gene LeBell is how a lot of people’ve heard of him.) Eaton had some dramatic health issues in the late 70s, and retired in 1980. She died in 1987.

This is not the first time I noticed this, but I find the place identification by the last contestant interesting. He said he was from "Jamaica, Long Island". I have seen this in other episodes where someone is from a neighborhood in Queens and they refer to it as "Long Island". Of course Queens IS on Long Island, but part of NYC as well. Today no one from Queens would say it that way. It would be "Bayside, Queens" or "Jamaica, Queens"" or "Astoria, Queens". There are reasons for this change, but seeing this window into an old form of location naming is fascinating.

@gcjerryusc Simone Signoret in her memoirs wrote that she wished Marilyn had lived long enough to know that she never blamed her for having an affair with Montand. She understood that they had in common being born in poverty and could share their memories of very poor children together. Signoret was a very generous person when it came to Montand. But everyone noticed that it is from this moment that she stopped caring for her looks, and that she started to drink more and not giving a damn that it showed. So Montand paid that price, I guess, for not behaving himself. Simone Signoret unconditionally loved her husband and he didn't deserve that love.

@gcjerryusc I wrote an answer but YT deleted it. I'm going to try to start again. YM sexually molested the daughter Simone Signoret had with her first husband Marc Allegret. Catherine Allegret (the daughter) wrote a book about this 20 years after her mother's death, her son Benjamin wrote a book, and another woman wrote a book claiming that her daughter was YM's daughter and YM's body was exhumed for DNA tests (the resemblance between the supposed daughter and YM was just crazy, everybody believed she was his dauhter). So, I don't know what the DNA tests revealed, all I know is that french justice decided that the girl was not YM's daughter. YM's image was...a lot destroyed. Catherine (Simone's daughter) also said that her mother saw, as she was growing to a teen, that Montand had some flirtatious behavior with her but that she (Simone) found it flattering (understand who can, as we say) and that to Simone it was like an extension of their relationship since she was getting old and less beautiful. To me the whole family is in la la land. There have been other not stories but facts about YM before SSignoret's death. It's awful. This man was never a gentleman. I stay polite because I know YT is not a democracy. If you search about YM, you'll find.

I think that was completely unnecessary and very unlike him, since he usually wants to give the panel a hard time. They could have had a lot of fun with that one. Odd and aggravating behavior on his part.

+john long + Rachel Moore To be exact, "Casino Royale" was the third teleplay of the first season of the TV version of CLIMAX!, which had aired on radio for quite a few years. "Casino Royale" aired originally on CBS on 21 October 1954. Barry Nelson did, indeed, play James Bond (sans British accent). Other cast principals were Linda Christian, Peter Lorre, Michael Pate, Eugene Borden, Jean Del Val, Gene Roth, and Kurt Katch. Antony Ellis and Charles Bennett adapted Ian Fleming's novel for TV; William H. Brown directed; William Lundigan was the host of CLIMAX!; and, as on radio, the co-producers of the TV show were Elliot Lewis and Bretaigne Windust. (CLIMAX! ran on CBS-TV for four seasons, by the way.)

Montand's command of English was negligible. Film critics were critical of Montand's language skills in the Marilyn Monroe film "Let's Make Love'--- he was often hard to understand, and he sometimes had no idea what he was saying in English. He was just mouthing the lines phonetically. Here he was obviously in a hurry to get off the stage because the last thing he wanted was to have a conversation in English on live television, and who can blame him?

How Bennett came up with Yves Montand after a few casual questions makes me start to wonder, after all the episodes I have watched, if the fix wasn't in occasionally. Montand sounded like Gary Cooper with his "yep". No questions about whether he had a movie out or a Broadway play. Yet, out of the blue, Bennett comes up with Yves Montand. Methinks something is rotten in the state of Denmark!

It has been noted quite a few times in comments on the various WML? episodes on KZbin (and also in Gil Fates's book on the show) that Dorothy Kilgallen and Bennett Cerf and Arlene Francis would scan the New York newspapers each day/week (in preparation for their appearances as a panelist) to see which notable celebrities might be in town, as well as which movies and/or Broadway shows and/or nightclub acts might be opening, as well as which TV specials might be on, to try to get some idea of who might by the Mystery Guest on Sunday evening. I'm quite sure that one or several of them probably saw in the paper (Bennett certainly did, because he brought it up as Mr. Montand was making a hasty exit) that Yves Montand was putting on a special show at the Golden Theater a couple of days after this show. And, as one commenter noted previously, Yves Montand's voice sounds quite a bit like it had the year before in "Let's Make Love," in which he did, indeed, co-star with Marilyn Monroe. So: Nothing "rotten" at all - just good game-playing and preparation.

I still get annoyed with Bennett every time he shouts the answer out when it's not his turn.

@@Rockaria23 It's not only Bennett that does it, but as time goes by I noticed the others doing it too. The show changed as time went by with John Daley too often "accidently" giving the panel many clues which helped the millionaires cheat the mostly ordinary poor folks out of a measly $50. I don't care if the $50 would be worth much more today, I still think John Daley's head became larger and larger, which led him to long winded blathering of clues that accidently? helped the panel.

@@jmccracken1963 I suspected this way back in the 50's, but even so, the famous people, 90% of the time were there - not to stump the panel- but to advertise whatever they recently did, or just to keep their faces in front of the camera. So when the panel often admitted to seeing or hearing something about the mystery guest's name, I was not surprised and usually didn't care. I found the part featuring "ordinary" people much more interesting. However, I can also see where "Hollywood" or "NYC" wealthy peeps might watch the show for clues as to where to spend a Saturday night.

The panelists check who is in town and what new movie is out there and who is acting on stage etc. At times I am suspicious of Dorothy where half the time her mask is askew.
