I love how the celebrities seemed a little nervous and eager to do a good job!!
The Great Race is a very funny movie. Jack Lemmon as Professor Fate was great. Vivian Vance played a suffragette and the wife of a newspaper editor and was very good.
I remember loving the movie ! But it was sooo long ago, I don’t remember it too well. 🎯🎸
I think Vivian Vance was an unappreciated and underrated actress.
Easily Still One of the Funniest Flicks I've EVER Scene 😂😂🤣😂😂😆😂😂😂
Jack Lemon s' campness in the role made myself reminded me of his Daphne character in 'Some Like It Hot' (the presence of Tony Curtis also made me feel reminiscent of 'Some Like It Hot' too in honesty.)
While working on that movie Viv did an interview with Lucy. Lucy did a number of them with different people and sombody turned it into a podcast.
That $50 consolation prize was equivalent to $450 in 2022. Not a bad payday just for appearing.
Aw, Betty White and her beloved husband Alan have been happily reunited. I love Vivian as well - I treasure an early, 1974 playbill (from an off-Broadway play she did) with her autograph - along with an "I Love Lucy" heart which she drew in. Also loved Jim Backus - the delightful Mr. Magoo. Cheers to all!
Reunited? They're both dead.
That’s awesome you have that Playbill! What play was it for?
@@HansDelbruck53 I think that's what was implied. Afterlife.
Only if they both believed in our Lord Jesus Christ and His Resurrection. If they didn't, they are in hell for eternity.
@@loveislove4105 Oh sorry, I just saw your question. The playbill is from January 1974 and the play is called, "Everybody Loves Opal"
Vivian Vance would have been 56 here and I think that she looks wonderful...
Yes, she does
I had the same hairdo that year. I was ten years old. A ten year old lady!
@@claretebell3941 lol. So did all the girls in my Kindergarten class photo
Vivian Vance was always easy on the eyes. She was beautiful.
Yes, she does look good !
Viv and Mr. Howell...childhood flashback!!
The word "Moose" I immediately thought of Bullwinkle would be a good clue.
definitely. I thought it was a 2 cluer (Elk + Yellowstone) but yours is definitely a 1 clue word.
Hello, Ethel! You too, Vivian! You look. BEAUTIFUL! Hi to you, too, Mr. Howell! Jim, you look different off the island!
I always loved Vivian, she was always so formal and elegant but she never seemed to act like a big star, she was down to earth and simply funny
Wonderful,professional actress…without her skills…(and a few others..)the whole “Lucy” thing never would’ve worked…
So true !!
She died in 79 and Allen died in 81 Rest In Peace
I was in kindergarten then! I remember when The Great Race was in the theaters, new.
Plez post proof Post, pronto
As a boy, I fondly recall going to see "The Great Race" at a downtown theater when it first came out.
I'll always miss Ethel and Mr. Howell....
Me too! Wonderfully talented actors!
They announced her as Lucille Ball sidekick. I would be very upset about that
Agree...they should have announced her as having Lucille Ball as HER sidekick. No?
Well why? She was starring on The Lucy Show with Lucy at the time of this password episode
I don't think she minded. After all, that's what she was best known for.
Why can’t I stop watching this? 😅
It is like eating peanuts. You can't stop at just one!!
Whether the truth or not, Jim Backus told this story. He either got a mash note of phone call from Marilyn Monroe, she just had to meet him in person. He told his wife Henny about it, and she said, "If it were any other woman, I'd be jealous... but Marilyn Monroe! You've got to do this!" So Jim met her privately, and what Marilyn wanted was Jim to talk like Mr. Magoo.
A Krenwinkle, that is funny!
@@marysterling691 It sure is, and I believe it. I recall Jim telling that story to Merv Griffin. Memories!
😂
That was a little messed up. He could have done that for her over the phone.
Vivian Vance was a beautiful lady.
I
Loved
Ethel Mertz
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Vivian was so cute ,nice and funny
That is so so so true!
Interesting way the announcer pronounced "trough"
when Alan says there goes your time, usually that means you have 28 seconds left.
love ethel mertz!!!!! she made the lucy show....
teenie beenie unfortunately she was gone after season three
She was Vivian Bagley on The Lucy Show.
yes: TV comedy's first divorcee
teenie beenie she made I love Lucy too
@@TheYellowTulips I was going to mention that but you beat me do it! Lucy was a widow with kids on "The Lucy Show" and her housemate & best friend Vivian a divorced mother.
I like Alan's look of amazement or disapproval at some of the rather lame clues or answers given by the players. He's part of the show, more than an MC.
I don't think you see that too much on game shows.
Him and Steve Harvey on Family Feud, who could never contain himself.
"Trough" pronounced "trow"? I've never heard that one before.
I always pronounced it "troff".
@@patrickayotte2018 Same here
That one threw me off, too.
On the order of "bough" and not "cough", perhaps a regional pronunciation. (On the order of "through" it ought to be pronounced "true.") Despairing over English orthography, GB Shaw noted that "fish" ought to be spelled "ghoti." Perhaps "trough" ought to be spelled "troff."
I was SO confused when the announcer said trowel !!! 🎳
In the lightening round, if the word cannot be guessed by using its opposite, it probably won't be guessed.
It seems like this show always had a lot of contestants from Florida and other Southern states.
Ethel and Mr Magoo.
BEAUWINKLE THE MOOSE!!!
Bullwinkle.
That is what I thought the Clue should be - Bullwinkle. But I have heard of Bullmoose
Bullwinkle the moose. Not Beauwinkle.
There was always something elusively "special" about Vivian IMHO
Absolutely!
love Vivian Lee. What a class act!
Who's Vivian Lee?
@Mark Thompson Right!
Cut the crap !
Vivien Leigh but that’s the wrong Vivian
@@diedonner299 No shit, Sherlock
Those clues for "moose" killed me....
This one of the worst shows for getting the clues.
At 9:50 the announcer totally butchers the pronunciation of "trough"
I think he mistakenly confused the word with "trow," as in "garden trow."
@Christopher Bingham Jack Clark left when Bob Stewart left "Password" to form his own production company, and Jack was the announcer on some of his shows (the announcer you hear here is Lee Vines).
the first partners were stupid.
0:24- "Yes, it's 'PASSWORD'! Brought to you this evening by CAMEL! Camel's REAL taste satisfies longer! CAMEL....a REAL cigarette........"
Its Allen Luddens 100th birthday today! 10-5-17
Barry I. Grauman o
Did someone forget the color tv?
Love you, dumbbells!
Love you too, moron!
@@lynnturman8157 Why, YOU!
@@lynnturman8157 HAHAHAHAAA
It is painful to watch this episode!
Back in the original incarnation of Password, I wonder what measures were employed to screen the viability of contestants?
Right before he was Mr. Howell.
He was already appearing as Mr. Howell in TV's "Gilligan's Island". The show began airing the previous year (1964).
@@jubalcalif9100 I keep forgetting the year.
Darryl Miller would be a cool dude to hang out with and be friends IMO.
Jim Backus first partner is fine, we'll see if she's as smart as she is beautiful. Penny is kinda cute too
I think Penny married a Roosevelt. Her name was Priscilla Reynolds…later Priscilla Roosevelt. Expert lecturer and author of Russian History. Yes, I googled. Lol!
I think the first set of players should have been given the 500 dollars and we could saved the 10 minutes!
Jeepers!
The two gooberheads whose answers to “Army” clues continued to lay more rotten eggs.
Shrew: FIEND (her)
Curmudgeon: RODENT (him)
Vivian Vance@6:10 mentioned the word curmudgeon. Later she said I KNOW what a curmudgeon is!! I WONDER if she was referring to her old co star William Frawley (Fred Mertz of I Love Lucy) of whom she detested??!! Hmmm.. . ...
@@kevinnorman2937 I didn’t know they didn’t get along. I bet she did refer to him or at least think of him as a curmudgeon, lol.
Can't believe adults actually cheat!!
for army they started out with navy. why didn't they keep going? Marine, Airforce
We were in the middle of the best pennant race in the summer of 67. Red Sox win it. Wow!
The one thing that I did not like about the show was during the "Lightning Round" Allen did not help matters any with
his constant interrupting them when they were trying to give clues. He should have kept quiet and let them play.
Trough is pronounced "traaf".
It's pronounced "troff."
Moose>>>Elk, Yellowstone. Wheel>>>tire, wagon
Priscilla (Penny) Reynolds, the female contestant in round three of this episode, went on to marry Kermit Roosevelt, the great-grandson of Theodore Roosevelt on May 6, 1967. See the announcement in the May 7, 1967 New York Times. TV has ALWAYS been fake.
Not sure why you wrote that "t.v. has always been fake."
Bulwinkle.
⭐😅😆🤣 🥰😇!!!!!!!?
That Mike guy was so creepy
Jim Backus was not silly at all in real life. Lol 😉👍🏼
This has to be the slowest start to a Password episode ever! The celebrities and guests were terrible. Allen looked exasperated😀
First contestants not too bright
Why does Alan always ask the contestants about their family etc. He's obviously not interested
And it was such sexist times. He always asked the men what they did (occupation) and the women if they were married or hand children. Funny because Allen was married to Betty White, a very ambitious career women.
He asks their name also. Polite things to do.
@@chrisn7259 It was the times when people were courteous.
Sometimes if he saw a wedding ring he’d ask the female contestants one question only “what does your husband do?”
Chris N , Back then, it wasn't sexist of Alan to ask what a woman's husband did for a living. In those days, it was simply a fact that most women were homemakers unless they were unmarried. Alan already knew the information about each new contestant, so he knew enough about a woman to ask the appropriate question: "Are you a working girl?" or "Do you have a family?" or "What is your husband's occupation?". Whichever question he asked, was a polite way of letting the person talk a little bit about themselves, because the audience and home viewers were interested.
There are Alor of inaccuratacys on to tell the truth Superior judge Clarence Thomas.
The first male contestant is amazing in his manner. I have a feeling he might have been gay. Just a guess, no judgement here, of course. I'm just trying to imagine how many minority people were part of these shows those days.
If he was, he was a good-looking and sharp dressing man. And would be a good catch for a bed partner/husband. Ooh Là Là!!!!!
Vivian Vance looks like she’s on Speed.
Allen.."papoose, that's an Indian baby! " ? Although he is the best host this show ever had... comments like that, giving out clues during the game,and not knowing it, Also not knowing where the game is at certain points. Seems Allen isn't to swift.
This presenter is a condescending little man.d
