Three absolutely beautiful women Barbara Gant, Fay Spain and the Secret Word Model. The lighting director and cameramen were artists in their own right, not sure if they had a studio make-up artist or not.....Simply beautiful.

Love every one of these episodes....Groucho was definately one of a kind...

[@kevinpaul180]

Hands down the quickest wit!!.....and the secret word is hand!

[@aloisemason3044]

Groucho Marx has a great personality and a lot of charm..r u with me?

[@Celluloidwatcher]

Ah, Groucho Marx and You Bet Your Life, with an aspiring actress named Fay Spain (I believe this was a 1956 episode before Fay did movies and television). Another point, Fay also did photos for men's magazines of the day in the Fifties. Lovely actress. May she rest in peace. As for Groucho, I really admired his comedy, whether he was with the Marx Bros. or hosted this program. One of the classiest acts in Hollywood. That's why he was the One, the Only Groucho. Thanks for uploading this wonderful gem.

Faye Spain was an actress on plenty of westerns i.e. "Laramie", "Wanted Dead or Alive" and even on Andy Griffith Show. She played in many movies including The Godfather.

[@kevinpaul180]

Thank you...I'll look em up...she's captivating.

[@Eddie_Schantz]

This program aired on Oct. 4, 1956. Of the last two guests, Fay Spain went on to be a successful actress on may TV shows and movies.

Has to be one of my many favourites; I enjoy the interaction between the contestants and Grouch. The band also chimes in. Merci pour le téléchargement.

"Pet" milk? Hahahaha! (Yes, I do remember it, but it just sounds funny; "Where'd you get the milk?" "My dog").

[@RRW1982]

How about that! We see Groucho''s father-in-law as a contestant. If any other person were in the central part of this show in place of Groucho, it would have been an entirely different end-product. Even with the same music, the same format of questions and answers, the duck, George - it just would have been as different as a rose is from a daisy....maybe as a rose is from a duck. Fascinating!

[@donnawilcock5774]

[@rossshand4385]

Splendid.

[@DDSilver2024]

Man, that reading teacher was a knockout then, and she'd be hot by today's standards, too! When she said she wasn't busy after the show, I'd have told my father in law to finish up the show for me - I gotta get ready for a date!

Groucho's comment about marriage at 8:40 was right! Many women say they are not thinking or interested in marriage , but they seem to change their minds...a lot.
