Mrs. Gorme was well-versed in Spanish (thanks to her Sephardic heritage). A few months down the recording of this episode (in 1964), she would record her first long-playing album in Spanish - a compilation of twelve Latin American romantic "boleros" (serenades) - with Trío Los Panchos. A second album with this group (along the same romantic lines) would follow in 1965. Both were instant classics, catapulting Mrs. Gorme straight into the hearts of Spanish-speaking audiences. In 1977, Mrs. Gorme would repeat those feats, this time around with the tearjerking ballad "Para decir adiós" ("To say goodbye") - a smash duet with Puerto Rican singer Danny Rivera.
Jose Ferrer did fairly good on PW. Never knew he was on the program. About the only thing I remember seeing him in was the movie titled: "Lawrence of Arabia". He played an Ottoman Officer. He seemed to not understand (or maybe the printing was bad?) on the PW "Ace". Eydie G. was a huge cheater as was Carol Burnett and Ava Gabor, Angie Dickinson and other female Celebs. A.L. let her get away with it. Not good for the other contestant. Not a good episode especially when A.L. is gushing over the singer woman.
Ironic that Allen always asked women if they were married, as if they had nothing in their lives except a husband, while he wasn't nearly as accomplished as his wife, Betty White.
@ChrisN That's the way it was in those days. Alan Ludden was a fantastic TV host. He makes it look easy. Live TV? Not easy. Betty White eventually became a legend due to her longevity ~ but she would be horrified that you dissed her brilliant husband who did many great things outside of show business. But UA-camrs care only about showbiz. The people on Password all looked beautiful and content pre-Twitter. Edie Gormé was a brilliant vocalist. José Ferrer was a great actor. Nobody predicted reality TV. Today's "icons" are absolutely ridiculous no-talent zeros. Different times.
Chris N Allen asked men if they were married/had a family plenty of times. I'm pretty sure he had notes about each contestant, which is why he asked the questions the way he did.
GenKatQltr Yes. A viewer could draw their own conclusions to a lady contestant’s livelihood if Allen asked her what her husband did for a living. It was done also to dignify the at home wife.
Esa exquisita voz de José Ferrer, what a voice !!!

I like Allen Luden, I wish there were more like him today…….sad, there aren’t any 😢more.
Eydie Gorme was a delight...
Jose Ferrer had a great voice
YEA! How did you ever find it?! I've been looking for years. Thanks you so much for letting me hear my dad's voice again!
Avalon That is great! Which one was your dad?
I love Steve Lawrence and Eddy Gorma ❤❤🎉🎉🎉😅😅
Eddy Gorme

0:33 betty in the audience, with her mother tess! - 3rd row above the s-w
24:49 - above the second s
I wonder why he didn't tell Edie about her (pretty obvious) gesture. He tells everyone else
A little chilly in there for the last game.
Eydie really put Alan on the defensive by accusing him of being mean.
that man contestant is going way overboard with his gestures - allen has never been able to police that correctly
Um Edie gave a pretty OBVIOUS gesture with the hearing clue (but I guess it was ok for her)
The first female contestant could have passed as a pretty sister of actress Mary Wickes (not known for being pretty).
Why does Eydie keep touching her nose and then shaking hands with people??
People shook hands all the time back then

Eydie may have been a lovely lady but she cheated all the time.
Alton & Edie: get a room!

Chris N At the time, Allen was more accomplished than his wife.
@@esquibelle Betty became a legend because she was a versatile talent, combined with her longevity.
