“Do you have blond, curly hair?” *Crowd goes wild in laughter*
Best question ever to Yul Brynner!
Sometimes I wonder whether these panelists know who is actually there. I say that because I can not understand what would motivate such a question.
@@antonioacevedo5200 It was because he was communicating by whistling - Arlene thought he might be Harpo Marx.
@@clareredfarn8613 How do you know this?
@@antonioacevedo5200 It's the most likely explanation. The panel knew their guest was a huge movie and theatre star, either a) with a voice so distinctive that it would be instantly recognised, hence he whistled, or b) for professional reasons he never used his voice (Emmett Kelly had appeared on What's My Line the previous year). The one big star known only to whistle in performance was Harpo Marx, hence the "blond curly hair" question. The panel didn't expect the audience's reaction.
@@clareredfarn8613 I think whistling might give it away sooner than later, if it were Harpo Marx.
That was his gimmick.
Yul Brynner's clothes, his posture, his walk, his voice just exuded royalty. I can't even imagine being in his presence.
Yul never walks, he struts, lol.
You are so right. The most underrated star in the world. He is magnificent
I'm in my sixties and I have had a crush on him since I was a little girl and saw The King and I.
The sexiest man who ever lived!
I've lived watching this old show especially the woman two very intelligent people.
But the ignorance around the insults they dish out towards one of the first people of their country is palpable
Yul Brynner was one powerhouse of a charismatic man. I only needed to see his anti smoking ad once to quit cold turkey when I couldn’t quit for years.
It was a truly harrowing plea to stop smoking and was only shown once in my locality, very late at night. I often thought it was too effective and was therefore blocked by the cigarette companies as a result.
@starababa1985: Never thought about that. You may be right. That would be rather despicable. Money over people’s health. - but like I said - I only needed to see it once and that was it. The Winston 100s went in the garbage. It was rather amazing.
These people had so much genuine and authentic fun on this show. It wasn’t just a job. It was truly truly fun.
It was the early days of TV, people are still feeling there way as to what works and doesn't, and there is a lot less pretension.
Which was the way it had to be as you never knew what question will come out of someones mouth.
People getting offended really isn't going to work in a live TV setting.
I saw Yul Brynner perform live in The King and I, in theater in the round. He walked right past me on the way to the stage, and met my eyes when he took his bows. Unforgettable.
Lucky girl!!! He was so striking.
How delightful.
was he tinier than one thinks?
First actor I had a crush on. I wish I had seen him in The King and I live.
Wow!!!!
Just watch right after he kisses their hands, how Dorothy's and Arlene's eyes adoringly just follow Yul Brynner all the way until he walks off the stage . This man oozed sex appeal effortlessly.
Yyyyep
I never understood the concept of a lady “swooning” but I truly think if Yul Brynner ever spoke to me, that’s what I would do...swoon. What a man! RIP Mr. Brynner.
Yul exuded excellence, style and charisma.
Classic Miss Arlene... "do you have blond curly hair?" I was on the floor laughing.
He used to. Check out his passport photo when he came from Russia.
@cloudtoground No, of course not. It was because he was communicating by whistling - she thought it might be Harpo Marx.
@ΑγαΡy I thought I heard her say something about thinking it was Danny Kaye.
@@mellamell7441 we
Kirk Douglas had recently won the NYFCC Award for "Lust for Life," so Arlene possibly was looking to guess right or (as it turned out) get one of the biggest WML laughs ever with her sly query.
Yul looked sensational and was absolutely a gorgeous man 😍
He was 37 here and in his prime 4 sure !!
Lawrence H. Hart (Black Beaver) - is a Cheyenne peace chief, a Mennonite pastor, an ex-Marine fighter pilot, a graduate of Mennonite educational institutions, a loving father and grandfather, a force to be reckoned with in certain Washington corridors where repatriation of Indian remains is at issue
Here is Mr. Hart/Black Beaver's bio.
www.journeytowardforgiveness.com/stories/hart/biography.asp
Thanks for the information. I found Black Beaver's segment to be the most interesting. He was as intense and attractive as Yul Brynner in his way, an appeal based on veracity rather than artifice. Not at all surprising that he continued to lead a life of service to community, especially those who are marginalized. What a fine man.
Unfortunately, that link doesn't work anymore, but I found what I think is the same article at this link: themennonite.org/feature/lawrence-harts-vision-peace/
I'm glad to learn that he embraced his Native heritage after all. In answer to John's questions at the end of his segment, he indicated that he had no real association with traditional ways at that time in his life, but I guess that was only because the military demanded his full attention at that point, (as alluded to by John also).
Paul Reynolds The panel was correct, he has a certain look, a Marine Corps look, and haircut. God Bless sir and Semper Fi.
Good I think he should do well
We could use more newscasters like Mr. John Daly. He was a class act.
Yul Brynner was one of my favorite actors. But I really liked him for his intelligence. The guy spoke like seven languages. But alas another genius talent struck down by those damn cancer sticks.
Yul appeared in an eerie anti-smoking TV ad that aired posthumously. I was very proud of my mom for ending decades of smoking cold-turkey.
You are right. I used to smoke. The best thing I ever did was stop. I began to feel much better and breath better after just about a week.
@David Pinegar My intent was to testify about my experience as a way of encouraging and inspiring smokers that read my post as a form of encouragement to stop smoking.
@@algoritmosalfredohipicasig7116 I watched that
If Yul Brynner had kissed my hand, I would have passed out.
me too!! What a man! What a man!
Me too!!
Oh YES!!
Well, I'm a straight male, and I can see the attraction. He was a one off.
Alpha male.😍
I love Yul Brynner, and I can see why women adore him. He was really spooky in ' Westworld .'
I saw Westworld at a drive-in believe it or not.
Yul Brynner was a major director in the days of early television.... and then the little musical "The King and I" came along. He appeared in the play 4625 times on stage.
Yeah, both Peter Lind Hayes and John Daly mentioned working with Yul Brynner on early television shows which he had directed. I found this quite surprising. IMDb credits him with 10 different directorial jobs, but although I see _We Take Your Word_ (the game show that John mentioned) listed, I don't see a credit for _The Stork Club_ , which PLH mentioned.
www.imdb.com/name/nm0000989/?ref_=nmbio_bio_nm
Here's the Cast & Crew IMDb listing for _The Stork Club_ , which indeed featured Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healey. It does not include a director listing.
www.imdb.com/title/tt4437094/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm
HOLY MOLEY, really?? Geez. That is certainly a testament to his abilities to be " fresh" each time. Wow.
Had the privilege of seeing him at the Pantagraph in L A. Twice. So Wonderful.
Yul Brynner was one suave cat. He had those ladies swooning when he kissed their hands.
He was about 36 here. In 1953 when he was 33 years old and on Broadway with The King and I, Sal Mineo, age 14, had his first "taste" of stardom. He often thanked Yul for showing him the ropes. He certainly learned a lot, they had some serious sexual interactions.
And if you check the internet, when he was still unknown at age 22, he posed for a group of full frontal nude photos. They are now on line.
Hey he can kiss my hand anytime!!
Flike - I would have kissed Yul on the 👄 lips💜💜💜💜, oozing charisma to the max
Michael Danello - I don’t believe that about Yul, U can’t believe everything you read
Oh man oh man what a sexy man😜🤩
Peter is so flat. No one laughed. But Yul’s charisma is immense!
Were we watching the same show?
Yul Brynner was always so gorgeous even when he was older. I was only 12 or 13 when he died and He always mesmerized me and soothed me with his voice.
+cindy pruitt The voice was soothing, but only because he chain-smoked 5 packs a day.
Sad, but true!
You know, the studios used to encourage actresses whose voices were too high-pitched to take up smoking; e.g., Gene Tierney, Lauren Bacall.
That is so sad to think people risked their lives to sound better. I do think his voice was magnificent and soothing. I think it would have been just as good with the cancer sticks.
I don't know whether they knew about the risks back then. It is sad, though.
Most attractive bald guy ever. Wonderful actor, I am still searching for all of his movies, etc.
BAMMM ........ Miss Francis is on fire !!! White Mink - " curly, blond hair ? " - then that LOOK she slides toward Mr. Daly during the final contestant. What a charmer and what a dame.
Arlene you nailed the humour so on the spot. ahahahahaha, the greatest line in the show for me : " DO you have blond curly hair? " ahahahaha. gets me every time.
@Kerry Kunze it was excellent but I think even funnier was when she guessed that Bob Hope was Bing Crosby
I love how the ladies are all dressed up in beautiful gowns
I just wish it were in color ~ their gowns would be that much more beautiful. And I always love Dorothy Kilgallin’s necklaces!
I was born 9 days after this aired -- in a snowstorm. Mom said that was the most/ only trouble I ever gave her. LOL. Thanks momma, I miss you. 😌😊
Dorothy as a blonde? Why not! I miss her, too! Such a brilliant mind...what a loss. 😔
o how cute....and to remember on a youtube comment how your mommy pampered you is just priceless.....what do you want to be when you grow up?
Mr. Yul Brunner's look was way way before its time. He was good looking, a great actor, not your typical all American male actor. He stud out. Look at men today... Shaved heads, dark skin. He was truly the look of what men now try to look like.
"He stud out" - was that a misspelling or a good pun?
In the previous year, Brynner starred in The King and I, The Ten Commandments, and Anastasia. Wow!
& The Magnificent Seven, and The West World. Also, about his singer' s voice - there's quite a collection Yul Brynner "Two Guitars" on the Ed Sullivan Show

I loved him in The Ten Commandments. Great acting.
Yep, if you could only have one year in pictures, Brynner's 1956 is hard to beat, with a "King and I" Oscar win coming the next year (Sidney Poitier's 1967 is also huge with three smash hits, but no subsequent Oscar win or nom for his 1967 efforts).
Oh my god, Yul Brynner is smiling and being a smartass! I'm so used to him being brooding and intensely glaring at me, but no, here he's messing around with people and smiling and actually kinda shy. I like it! XD
But seriously, though, it's nice to see him smile, I don't think I've ever seen him smile and look more relaxed, it's a welcome change. :)
AishaVonFossen k
Pretty man.
I really like Yul Brynner's voice. It's so deep and sexy. Definitely up there with Gregory Peck.
Death to Pharaoh!
I was disappointed that he did not talk more after he was revealed.
@David Pinegar Wtf has Latino community to do with anything ?
Yul was born in Russia.
Dorothy looks ultra glamorous here with her lighter hair, and Arlene is just gorgeous as always. These women were so chic, the epitome of beauty and class, including gloves and sparklers.
I had the pleasure seeing Yul Brynner many years ago in Cincinnati Ohio playing in the King and I. He was fantastic and I'll never forget it!
I wish TV today would have more shows like this! Especially enjoyable when the stars get on like Yul ! What stage presence he had!
I couldn't find anywhere in the video where Yul gave gifts.
True, I would love to be on a current TV show and get gifts from Oprah :) Yes !!!!
jtg3765"presence" = personal appearance or bearing, esp. of a dignified nature (definition #3 from: presence. Dictionary.com. Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition. HarperCollins Publishers. dictionary.reference.com/browse/presence [accessed: May 30, 2014].)
Presence - Thanks for the heads up. You didn't leave a space right after the "+jtg3765".
You have "+jtg3765" shoved right against "presence" :(

No offense intended to either one of you. I was just trying to clarify to jtg3765 what I thought you meant. (I skipped a space this time to make sure I don't do the same thing again.)
Yul brynner was what we call these days Fine.
Mr. Brynner was such a class act !
No one like him. Amazing charismatic man. Love
Yul was cool- (fit, smooth, deep voice, and intense gaze).
@@carolynwoodman1734 : I agree with you . Could his charm come from being part Gypsy ? He always said he had Gypsy blood .
@@Cerph : Yul was ahead of his time . Bald suited him because it brought his eyes .
One of Hollywoods best actors, not only because he was so gorgeous. Loved him mostly in "The King and I".
Amazing to think now that Yul Brynner almost didn't try out for King and I (even though Mary Martin strongly urged him to) because he was a fairly successful television director. 1956 was a really big year for Yul - King and I, Ten Commandments and Anastasia all came out that year
Yul Brenner was a fantastic actor & a very handsome man ♥️
I love Arlene Francis. What a woman!
Sorry...she was a pompous ass!!!
Joseph Palermo No one is withoit flaws but she doesn't fit the definition of pompous. Mannered maybe, but she's not that full of herself I wouldn't say.
It took a while (some 50 or 60 episodes or so) but I got to like her a lot. I like the character that thinly veiled underneath. She's quite feisty as well as elegant.
Bennett Cerf once called her one of the most charming women in the world. I agree.
Arlene a gorgeous woman 😊
Boy, Mr. Brynner sure was striking. What a handsome gentleman and a superb voice. Total class act.
I'd be that girl in the audience screaming when Yul Brynner walked onstage.
the great YUL BRYNNER.....one of a kind.....a special kind of actor....PREFORMER !....when he's on screen ....watching him is your only focus.
LOVE THIS! THE GREAT DAYS OF TELEVISION!
These shows were GREAT and with Yul Brynner as the "Mystery Guest," real fun.
Semper Fi brother you bring pride to the Corps. Thank you from another leather who farther was commanding a wing at El Torro
All I can say is "Yul Brynner...SIGH".
ohsnapiam59 you’re right. Also rrrrrrr! Hot stuff
I'm just watching this to watch Yul Brynner;s mannerisms. Truely a very cool and manly person. He is right up there with Carey Grant for coolness.
+700gsteak Men of that time period were so masculine. I think that is why that the 1940s and 1950s had the best men. Not talking about their personal habits, just their persona.
Cary Grant? Cary Grant was quite a feminine man and not attractive at all. Grant looked like all the other very unsexy american actors back then.
Yul Brynner was a real man, masculine, sexy and unbelievably handsome and charming.
I've loved Yul Brenner since I saw The King and I and The Ten Commandments when I was a kid. I loved how he would stand with his knuckles on his hips and his feet sideways.
The most handsome Baldie of all time
You're forgetting Larry David, aren't you? ;)
Are there any others?
He was a great man. He had made arrangements for a tv commercial to air after he died. In the commercial he stated he had lung cancer and that is what killed him. He pleaded for people to quit smoking. It was a very raw commercial. I haven’t seen anything like it since then.
@@amandajstar Telly Savalas ?
@@lewisner I'll stick with Yul, myself : )
The finest bald man I’ve ever seen 😍
finest man, period.😍
Yul was Marlene Dietrich's last great love and when talking about him as a lover she is at a loss for words.
thank you so much for putting all these on you-tube!!!!!!! it is wonderful to see all the classy people from another time.
I totally agree absolutely 😊
That's an interesting Indian name. My great great grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. She lived to be 103 years old. I wasn't born yet. Her daughter my great grandmother's hair would grow to her knees. She would cut it and make pony tails to sell to the wig store. I like how their names were chosen to have a meaning like, ' Walks Far Women'
Black Beaver seems so stern and serious to the point of his face scowling right off of his skull yet Arlene melts him in an instant.
He's probably serious because of all the racist slurs hurled at him. Shocking. How far we've come
I have a couple family members who are Marines (retired). They were encouraged to be "serious" considering the scope of their jobs in the military.
Off-duty/retired, they both have fantastic senses of humor, enjoy joking around, and are quick and easy to laugh. You'd never know it seeing them on-duty.
Semper fidelis!!
Marines...
Stupid comment two years ago, and stupid today.
@@jessicapigg Yes, shocking how today the word "racist" is used by the conditioned emptyheads wrongly in 99.99% of cases.
This is a special posting to this “channel”. Old films and early television must be saved and rebroadcasted to newer generations.’ As always, thanks’ for taking the time to support these films! And I support this site. ~M~
I fear the younger generations wouldn't be interested in this show.😢
nice to see the handsome Cheyenne pilot too :-)
What a GREAT time this was !! I am now 56 and it would have been nice to have been 56 during this era ! and yes indeed, Yul was a STUD & very talented man !! { I'll never forget that commercial they showed after he died in 1985 , " Just don't smoke " } Rest his soul ! He was LOVED !
I had the priviledge of meeting Yul Brynner here in Dallas TX back in 1978 at a woman's t ennis tournament. It's too bad I didn 't talk to him a little longer.
Thank you for this. He is so missed even by my younger generation.
I love the riotous laughter in the background during hilarious moments. A testament to the absolute magic created by the show over the years of its existence.
The loudest voice in the laughter is obviously a crew member - probably the man who warmed up the audience and prodded their applause. His laughter is heard on virtually every episode. (Much like Ed McMahon’s raucous laughter on the Tonight Show.)
@@terryvMy brother Jim would attend the show regularly and he did the loud laughing😅
From 'The King And I' to 'Westworld'....that's some breadth of brilliance. Love him in Westworld particularly, doesn't speak but he's astonishing in it.
Dorothy and Arlene were googly eying him all over the place!
Watching this in 2023. Great show. Yul Brynner one of the finest and charismatic actors you could ever meet. Wish I could've met him.❤
"Do you have blond curly hair ? " Killer question from Arlene Francis. Yul Brynner was such a Mega Star.
This is one great way to see the stars of yesterday.Love it so,so much.Educational too.Very nice.
For such a long time we have enjoyed this gentleman's work in so many areas. Admire him greatly for making a PSA about quitting smoking when he knew he was dying from cancer. To have it released after his passing- wow
Yul Brynner, handsome, sexy guy. Such beautiful lips.
There is a video of Yul Brynner slalom skiing that is just beautiful. He was very graceful and an expert, just like you know he would be. I like to think he is somewhere, skiing on a beautiful lake.
I salute you sir and thank you for your service!
I only found this show a couple weeks ago and it's been an absolute treat, I've been binge watching episodes and have become a big fan. One thing I've noticed is that there's a member of the studio audience who has this unique guffaw/cackle type laugh. This individual, for some reason, appears to have sat in the audience for nearly every episode I've watched and included his particular laugh into each one. I find his laugh positively hilarious and it really adds to the experience of watching the show. Given that he appears so frequently, I was hoping anyone out there might have information about his identity, as I've started to be driven crazy by not knowing who this man is, or why he's always in the audience(not that I wish he weren't, I just really want to know). I know for a fact that I've heard this man's laugh over many episodes of this program, which has added to my desire to uncover his identity. Because of his frequency and sometimes echo of his laugh, I've started to wonder if he perhaps was a producer or some similar executive that would have been present that often, not a simple viewer in the audience. Below I've included time stamps which contain this unique laugh I desperately request help identifying:
4:43 to 4:44 (After White Mink joke, as crowd laughter dies down)
10:41 to 10:43 (Prominently heard between waves of crowd laughter)
11:10 to 11:12 (Laugh at end of crowd laughter, so prominent it even makes Mr. Daly laugh and look at the audience)
12:59 to 13:02 (Heard under Mr.Daly explantation, only one laughing at Daly's joke about Arlene's answer)
15:47 to 15:50
20:36 to 20:38
20:46-20:49
please, anyone
at 20 46 very clearly and powerfully laughs))) excellent easter you found ... need to solve
@@Miriceneremy brother Jim Obrian was the laughter guy, he'd attend weekly since no charge to watch😊
Yul Brynner is so freaking hot! He makes me go weak in the knees!
The best Cajun cowboy ever.
The king and I was superb
He deserves more awards
Brynner was a small man, but he had the voice of a giant.
Small man with large parts.
Doesn't look small whatsoever.
This was such a great episode. The first two guests threw the panel off with their look and ethnicity. People were so concerned with their appearance that they were less concerned with their answers
I've been in love with Yul since seen him in Anastasia, when I was 13 years old.
Interesting Marine Fighter Pilot from Oklahoma. He looked like one!
He looked like an athlete, even more.
Whew...Yul knew he was fine.
Listen to the women scream when Yul Brynner comes out!
ohsnapiam59 I love that part! If I were in their place I definitely would have screamed with joy right along with them.
Yes intended he had that strong charismatic
ohsnapiam59 It was usually beautiful girls like Natalie Wood who got wolf whistles from men in the audience ;-)
When he got up to leave I was thinking, No! Stay and talk more!
Arlene? Arlene? Can't blame her!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for dropping in. The greatest house guests a 71-one-year old could hope for during self-isolation. The door's always open to WML and friend Gary. God bless.
I agree 💯 percent 😊
Good looking man, love his films, very attractive
Nice to see Yul having some fun and showing his goofier side. He's so striking and always seems so serious.
Shakes the men's hands, kisses the ladies hands, what a classy man.
Beautiful days.. what humbleness and sheer joy in watching these people. Mutual respect and deceny. Great video. Thanks for posting this
Probably one of the loudest welcoming receptions I’ve ever heard from the audience. “Do you have blond curly hair” 😂😂😂😂
Yul Brynner is just plain dreamy
An exquisitely beautiful and charming man.
Yul Brenner was such a handsom man. Just a wonderful time, look how nicely the ladys were dressed.
Is that the Great Pharaoh's son on What's My Line? "My Sweet." Yul Brynner, always one of television's greatest actors.
The coolest person ever and a brilliant actor.
I wonder if the Cuban guy got out before Casto hijacked the Island. This episode was filmed two years before that happened.
Brynner had a fairly deep voice so it would have been hard to disguise it
And that beautiful accent.
Oh yeah, there was absolutely ZERO chance of disguising it even for someone with acting skills as good as Yul's. That would be like trying to hide Morgan Freeman or James Earl Jones.
Lots of guests with deep voices successfully disguised their voices with very effective falsettos.
Dude was so cool and that voice!!
Yul Brinner: what a man!!
MMmm Yul Brynner was beautiful.
What a great actor and a class act..!
Arlene's face is priceless at 23:05 when John stumps her by not doing his usual spiel and instead tells her "Go right ahead, dear!". I love all the small inside gags or jokes that this show had. "Did you say atomic?! Atomic energy?! That's incorrect! Seven down and three to go".
That man had sway cool,yul enjoy the program with the others.
Yul Brynner! ** pause ** What a good figure from the past! Very deep that 1989 video of him telling people not to smoke.
The King and I came out in 1956...I loved that movie
It was very polite of Dorothy to ask what name she should use for Black 🦫 Beaver. Respectful.
Every time I've watched this show and there's been a black guest they've been respectful; in the sense that nobody made any comment about the fact. The first Native American or Indian guest I've seen on the show and they can't help themselves with the comments. I like this show because everyone is just nice and classy and it's the kind of thing you don't find on tv these days. "Did you have to have a reservation to get into this country?" is a little window through the facade of this show that highlights the scummier parts of this era.
"Do you have blond curly hair?"
Question to YUL freaking BRYNNER
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love Brynner so much
