I loved Gina in "Woman of Straw," with Sean Connery, released around the very time (of this WML, June 1964 airing). Well bless her pretty heart - Our Gina turned 95 on July 4th, 2022. May all of us be so lucky as to see age 95. Cheers to all! (P.S.) As a post-script to my comment of five months ago, I just wanted to send some prayers and good wishes to Miss Gina who passed on just two days ago - January 16, 2023, at age 95. My goodness, what a great career and life she had. RIP dear lady.
I love it when Steve Allen is on. His first wife, Dorothy Goodman, was my father’s first cousin. I never knew them, and I don’t know how they ever met or why they divorced. But his second wife was a jewel. She was sometimes on the show either as a panel member or a mystery guest. They made a fine and long-lasting couple.
Back in the day, Red Sox Manager Johnny Pesky said, "When you're winning, you sleep better, eat better, beer tastes better, and your wife looks like Gina Lollobrigida". She was on everybody's mind!!
Yep today I've got through April, May and now into June. How many's that? Ten, twelve episodes?? I need therapy. Racing to the end. Gotta get to 1967 then I'll get a life!!!
Bennett got the functional equivalent of a free question when he started questioning Gina Lollobrigida. When he said that the audience gave the guest the kind of reception that is accorded a sports figure, the audience laughed. He then said, "Obviously it's not a sports figure." John was going to give Bennett a "no", but Bennett objected, saying "What? I didn't ask any question. I made an observation, John." John said "I have been had" and returned the score to none wrong. John had indeed been had.
Absolutely it was a free question but he didn't deserve it. If you mention that you think someone is in a particular line of work and the audience laughs derisively at you, that means you can eliminate one field of endeavor. You've gained information.
We'll be seeing the lovely Gina again on the New Year's Day 1967 episode, which was videotaped on December 4, 1966. At that time, there were floods plaguing her native Italy.
Agreed, I think she was more beautiful the Sofia Loren but not as gorgeous as Claudia Cardinale . I rate them Claudia, Gina and the Sophia yet Sophia was the most famous of all. I guess she was a better actress.
@@Etnalleb Claudia and Gina were more traditional beauties with quite even features. Claudia has maintained a fairly active acting career doing respected work, but mostly in Europe. She had a long-term marriage that ended only with her husband's death a few years ago. She lives in Paris. She has always been active in charitable causes for health and human rights. Gina continued some film work, but moved to Canada with a husband, and in recent years has lived in Rome and Monaco. She began a photojournalistic career 40 years ago so did less and less acting, but continued having many affairs. She sold all her jewels a few years ago and gave the millions in proceeds to stem cell research. Sophia was the more exotic looking beauty and she had a stunning acting range that fellow performance/film/theater artists the world over marvel at and respect. She has not worked much in the past couple of decades and lived quite a long time in an area outside of Los Angeles while maintaining her home in Italy. Her orchestra conductor son performs all over the world, so she can see him there when he's in Europe. Her film producer, director son lives in the Los Angeles area still and is married to the actress who played Kate in the early years of "NCIS." She had the more unusual looks and powerful roles.
The Heart of Midlothian Football Club that Danny Ferguson played for during most of his senior career is more commonly known as "Hearts". They are the oldest football club in Edinburgh. They were formed by a group of friends from a dancing club that was named for a Walter Scott novel. I played some competitive soccer when I was in high school and became a bit of a Hearts fan for a time. In June 1974 as part of a trip with a team from my university, I stayed with a nice family in Edinburgh who were Hearts fans. This happened to be while the World Cup was being played in West Germany and the Scottish team had the misfortune of being in the wrong draw and were eliminated in the Group stage despite not only not losing any games but also not surrendering any goals. I learned a lot more about the sport as it is played on the world stage at that time and have become a huge fan of the sport, especially during the World Cup, ever since.
It's been 5 years since you made this comment but maybe you will see this and know the answer. I found Danny Ferguson to be such a compelling presence, I looked him up and discovered that he died in his late 30s. Do you happen to know the circumstances and cause of his death?
@@SOLE2SOUL The only available information on the Internet is that he died in 1977. There is no information about the cause, circumstances or even the exact date of death.
Only his quick wit could come up with, upon learning of the lady's garbage truck diviving occupation, "We could have stayed here all day and not got wind of it."
Listen to that loud applause when Gina Lollobrigida when came on. Well worthy of them! Just too bad her first appearance as a Mystery Guest on this show doesn't exist anymore. That one was the special color episode, broadcast live from CBS Studio 72 in New York on September 19, 1954. Steve Allen was there, in his last appearance as regular panelist, before Fred Allen replaced him. Her 1954 appearance on WML was also, apparently, her television debut.
Gina Lollobrigida would turn 37 on 4 July 1964, just 20 days after this WML? episode aired. At the time, she was still married to Dr. Milko Skofic. (Sadly, the marriage would end in divorce in June of 1971, after almost 22 1/2 years of matrimony.) Since a previous commenter noted that Gina Lollobrigida had appeared in a number of English-language films before "Strange Bedfellows," beginning with John Huston's disastrous "Beat the Devil" in 1953 (she played Maria Dannreuther), I will note that the other English-language films in which she was a cast principal between that film and "Strange Bedfellows" are as follows: TRAPEZE (1956) - as Lola SOLOMON AND SHEBA (1959) - as Sheba NEVER SO FEW (1959) - as Carla Vesari GO NAKED IN THE WORLD (1961) - as Giulietta Cameron COME SEPTEMBER (1961) - as Lisa Helena Fellini Following "Strange Bedfellows," she made three more English-language big-screen movies: THE PRIVATE NAVY OF SGT. O'FARRELL (1968) - as Maria BUONA SERA, MRS. CAMPBELL (1968) - as Carla Campbell KING, QUEEN, KNAVE (1972) - as Martha Dreyer She also appeared on U.S. television in the mid-1980s: in five episodes of "Falcon Crest" in 1984 (as Francesca Gioberti), in a TV movie titled "Deceptions" in 1985 (as Princess Alessandra), and on a two-part episode of "The Love Boat" titled "The Christmas Cruise" in 1986 (as Carla Lucci).
One gets the feeling that Bennett spends the remainder of his Sunday nights after the show, reviewing all the questions he asked, searching for any possible 'unfair" answers.
He really drilled Colonel Sanders, just a regular contestant, about Fried Chicken paired with mint julep....and the Colonel had not said that at all....he said anything could go with his product ( fried chicken), you should look it up
merci pour nous de voir des émissions magnifiques avec des dames et messieurs élégants classe. toutes les femmes belles merveilleuse. gros bisous Gina j adore👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹🌹💘🌞❤🍀
"Strange Bedfellows" would open in the United States early the following year, on Wednesday, 10 February 1965. In addition to Gina Lollobrigida, the cast principals include Rock Hudson, Gig Young (who appeared on WML? as a guest panelist once each in 1958, 1959, and 1961), Edward Judd, Howard St. John, Dave King, Peggy Rea, and Joseph Sirola, with interesting camo roles played by Nancy Kulp, Bernard Fox, and Terry-Thomas (speaking of a connection to recent WML? episodes). The movie was directed by Melvin Frank, with a screenplay by Mr. Frank and Michael Pertwee (from a story by Mr. Frank and Norman Panama). The music for the film was written by Leigh Harline; the cinematorapher was Leo Tover; and Gina Lollobrigida's gowns were designed by Jean Louis. ("Strange Bedfellows" would turn out to be the next-to-last film that Melvin Frank and Norman Panama would collaborate on the story and/or the screenplay; the last would be "Not With My Wife, You Don't!" in 1966. (Also, in 1968, Gina Lollobrigida would once again star in a movie directed and co-written by Melvin Frank: "Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell." By the time that film was released, in December of 1968, "What's My Line?" would be in its first season of the syndicated version. And no, Gina Lollobrigida did not appear as a Mystery Guest on syndicated WML? during that first season.)
The first guest walked out like she took a Xanax first. Gina looks a bit confused when answering her own questions. She seems unsure about being there with her darting eyes.
My old man's favorite crush, Gina was! Followed by Shirley Jones. When, in the early '90s, I asked him to name somebody more modern, he blurted out, "Kathy Ireland". No hesitation. LOL
Cerf was "splitting" his questions into two with the Scottish guest. "are you involved in show or tourist.." when those 2 can be interpreted as separate questions and John was right, it's too broad. Then he follows up with "is your uniform used for show or athletic purposes?" when that also can be separate. Nothing serious. And gotta love it when the guys in the audience reacted when Gina walked in. You KNOW it's a beautiful woman as a starting point haha
I never heard of a crib being used outside, the wooden kind with side rails and mattress. And the maker of them looked at Daly for an answer...doesn't he know? He makes them.Alot of those people on this show act like they don't have a clue what they do at their job.
People weren't so media-savvy then. They didn't even have their photograph taken that often, much less appear on live television. Most of them are just a bit embarrassed.
She had injured her leg in an accident. www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/film-star-gina-lollobrigida-injured-in-a-car-crash-two-news-photo/515041050
Dorothy, like Bennett, checked the stars in the celebrity pages, who were in town during the weekend. Sadly, the celebrity guest was quickly identified, thus depriving the audience of hearing the guest trying to defeat the panel.
4:00 -- Steve Allen starts the show and the first contestant. In 1954 in this situation, he would have some pre-written Gambit questions. Here in the Carefully Regulated Ethical Game Show Era, he starts off with a no answer.
Interesting what Steve Allen says at around 22:15. He says it in jest but I was just thinking before it how Steve used to have extended scope to concoct progressive questioning that got him nowhere and it was really funny. In fact they were some of my favourite segments. Somehow he never got the opportunity to get going in this I think the show has indeed changed!! :)
In the 50s Steve was fed lines by the producers that they knew would get laughs. This was called "gambiting". They ended this practice during the game show scandals to dispel any notion of impropriety.
Newspapers were the primary form of information. Mystery guests came from the news-making world. Dorothy wrote a column on the entertainment industry. Arlene was a theatre, film and television actor. Steve was also and Bennett co-owned Random House. This was their world. Not only was the Broadway stage popular, but movie stars made personal appearances to publicize their new films, which opened in cinemas located right alongside the ‘legitimate’ ones. ( Sadly most of those movie palaces are no more. ) As I understand from watching previous episodes, the panelists would speak aloud in frustration trying to recall from reading the newspapers who was in town and making headlines. Dorothy was an intelligent, focused and very competitive panelist. She tells us matter-of-factly how easy it was (for her): the mystery guest was a 1)non-blonde 2) foreign 3)actress visiting NYC. Bennett had seen Miss Lollobrigida’s picture in the early edition of Monday’s paper.
That's because they always put a guest on who is currently working on a new show on Broadway or attending a movie premiere, and they narrow down their questions based on recent hype.
Same here, wish the audience would not cheer and whistle when celebrities appear giving a clue to the panel Gina Lollobrigida did not have a chance same with Anita Ekberg.
Did Gina ever become as big of an international star as Sophia Loren did? Gina was making English-language films before Sophia, starting with 1953's "Beat the Devil".
This is part of the joke back the day of why it took women so long to get out of the house. You had to put the hair in curlers and then you had to use a comb and what was called tease the hair. You then combed it up and down to break the hair follicles. Then you had to hair spray it gently into place keeping the volume and the height and not squishing it down. Mass quantities of hairspray were used at this time, used to come in cans that were about a foot tall.
I've always admired Gina❤but, undoubtedly Italian people are much less educated, amiable, respectful then American's ( Sophia, Mangano, Magnani...) I'm italian, but I can see that it is a rude, lower colture👎I guess....

You beat me to her age now. The picture she refers to co-starred Rock Hudson, the title 'Strange Bedfellows' is doubly ironic.
The best panel lineup. Steve Allen is such a plus.
I agree. This is the best panel composition. Steve Allen was perfect.

RIP Gina.❤️
That Scottish soccer player/footballer Danny Ferguson was born in 1939 and died in 1977.
hopicard how awful!
I met johnny pesky. He was like so many said he was. A gentleman personified.(Also a career . 307 hitter)
4:00 -- Steve Allen starts the show and the first contestant. In 1954 in this situation, he would have some pre-written Gambit questions. Here in the Carefully Regulated Ethical Game Show Era, he starts off with a no answer.
soulierinvestments Very true. He still gets in a few good, solid laughs in this one, though. He always does. :)
A naturally funny man. A real gift.
Gina....oh Lord!
Gina obviously could not understand what was going on.
Am I alone in thinking the garbage-truck driver has a lovely face?
Interesting what Steve Allen says at around 22:15. He says it in jest but I was just thinking before it how Steve used to have extended scope to concoct progressive questioning that got him nowhere and it was really funny. In fact they were some of my favourite segments. Somehow he never got the opportunity to get going in this
I think the show has indeed changed!! :)
In the 50s Steve was fed lines by the producers that they knew would get laughs. This was called "gambiting". They ended this practice during the game show scandals to dispel any notion of impropriety.
@@ryanmoralesaz In one particularly egregious example of gambiting, Steve Allen asked a snake trainer if he could wrap his product around his neck.
When the panel guesses who the mystery guest is with only 3 or 4 questions then it makes me believe they already know who the mystery guest is.
Newspapers were the primary form of information. Mystery guests came from the news-making world. Dorothy wrote a column on the entertainment industry. Arlene was a theatre, film and television actor. Steve was also and Bennett co-owned Random House. This was their world. Not only was the Broadway stage popular, but movie stars made personal appearances to publicize their new films, which opened in cinemas located right alongside the ‘legitimate’ ones. ( Sadly most of those movie palaces are no more. )
As I understand from watching previous episodes, the panelists would speak aloud in frustration trying to recall from reading the newspapers who was in town and making headlines.
Dorothy was an intelligent, focused and very competitive panelist. She tells us matter-of-factly how easy it was (for her): the mystery guest was a 1)non-blonde 2) foreign 3)actress visiting NYC. Bennett had seen Miss Lollobrigida’s picture in the early edition of Monday’s paper.
They knew who was in town, 8 or 9 daily newspapers in those days
That's because they always put a guest on who is currently working on a new show on Broadway or attending a movie premiere, and they narrow down their questions based on recent hype.
I wish i can see the commercial break too.
Yes, especially the advertisements for snake oil.
Same here, wish the audience would not cheer and whistle when celebrities appear giving a clue to the panel Gina Lollobrigida did not have a chance same with Anita Ekberg.
RIP Gina.
Gina just passed this year. 2023.
When Fred Flintstone was in Venice he passed under a "Gina Lowlabridgeada".
Yes, that's how I learned about the actress!
Groan...
About the Lowlabridgida. A groan- worthy pun.
Did Gina ever become as big of an international star as Sophia Loren did? Gina was making English-language films before Sophia, starting with 1953's "Beat the Devil".
GINA💫 FOREVER💖💖💖💖❤❣!!!!!
What gives with Dorothy's hair on this one? Extraordinary.
I think it looks nice. IT is her high hair period. Many had this look then including Jackie Kennedy.
This is part of the joke back the day of why it took women so long to get out of the house. You had to put the hair in curlers and then you had to use a comb and what was called tease the hair. You then combed it up and down to break the hair follicles. Then you had to hair spray it gently into place keeping the volume and the height and not squishing it down. Mass quantities of hairspray were used at this time, used to come in cans that were about a foot tall.
Ms. Kilgallon wore a wig.
One of the panelists asks Mystery Guest Gina Lollobrigida if she was in the cast of "The Carpetbaggers."
Two weeks later, guess what?
what?
I always got the feeling that the trade papers leaked the guests for WML!
Dorothy looks great. I like the big hair.
Dorothy Kilgallen is very perceptive. She guesses almost all of them correctly.
Boy, despite that dress or maybe because of it, Dorothy is hot game-player tonight.
18:23 Gina was so beautiful. Even Arlene Francis had a concupiscent look on her body
... even Arlene Francis had a concupiscent look in her eye - a desiring look/expression
Gina didn't give Daly much of a farewell. No hand, no eye contact.....niente.
Maybe he had halitosis.
I've always admired Gina❤but, undoubtedly Italian people are much less educated, amiable, respectful then American's ( Sophia, Mangano, Magnani...) I'm italian, but I can see that it is a rude, lower colture👎I guess....
Dorothy’s hair is cute here
Bennett's last joke was not so bad 24:41 :-)
la lollo is beautiful!

Notice how, when she makes her entrance, the shot zooms in just enough so that TV viewers see her only from the waist up.
Well, Bennett got the figure part right, that's for sure, @ 15:00
