      Yes, that of the 1930s lavish. Or in other words, the transatlantic accent of the 19th century on its departure into a high society form (it was very common amongst all classes of women however, just that everyone had a wonderful decree of elegance with their rich dialects." I loved the deep voiced women of that decade...notably Tallulah Bankhead who has always had such a electric low tone.

      I was 8 in 1959. I’m sure I didn’t watch WHAT’S MY LINE? weekly, but I remember it through the years.
      What always caught my attention was Arlene Francis’s diamond heart pendant. She always wore an outfit that would have a neckline so the pendant was prominent. I thought that was the most beautiful thing ever. Even today I think it’s gorgeous. And I certainly never have had one like that.

    • @cards0486

    I was born exactly 57 years ago on the early morning hours of September 21, 1959. I was 7 and a half months premature when I was delivered that Monday morning. My mother was watching this episode with my Dad that Sunday evening and could not stop herself from laughing so hard since the show started and by the time Claudette Colbert appeared she had already been experiencing severe abdominal cramps and had to be rushed to the hospital. I wasn't supposed to come out until that November, but my mother to this day blames Groucho Marx and thanks him at the same time for the unexpected events that happened that night.

    Groucho had a reputation for edgy comedy. On his own show he once had a lady contestant who had 13 children. Groucho asked her "how did that happen?" to which she responded, "I guess I just love my husband." Without missing a beat Groucho replied "lady, I love my cigar but I take it out of my mouth now and then."

    It's always interesting to know what became of the guests on the show. Claudette Colbert, the mystery guest is well known. The warden, Henry McFarland, went on to make some dubious headlines. He was suspended from his warden job, and sentenced to six months for perjury in 1966. He passed in 1971 at the age of 77. Judy Grable had a long and successful career as a wrestler, and is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame. She died in 2008 at the age of 72.

      yes, I was about 7 in 1964 and and I remember watching a TV with rabbit ears which had to be adjusted all the time I'm going to say it was an RCA brand but not absolutely sure about that. One day my mother took me and my sister on a car ride to see my grandmother and grandfather some distance from us. After that visit she drove to a residence even farther away and purchased a Zenith TV for 25 dollars. And I can almost remember exactly where this residence was some 54 years later. That TV was MUCH MUCH better but still the rabbit ears existed. After a while I knew exactly what position was best for them to be in for each of the 3 channels it received.

    Khrushchev had been in the US since September 15 to meet with president Eisenhower, and he visited Los Angeles while he was here. The day before this episode aired he had been barred from going to Disneyland because of concerns about the crowds and his security, which made him very upset. That explains the Disneyland references and the Khrushchev look-alike.

As a bonus, I think some of Dorothy's remarks are among her funniest things ever uttered on WML. I particularly like the place where she rings her hands around her mouth to amplify her voice amid the roar of confusion. Groucho was one of the brightest guys in Hollywood at that time -- a voracious reader and a good writer -- and that theme question of his cracks me up every time.

Most likely all of the live audience has too passed on. This was a different era and it's good to have these clips from that time.

      Groucho Marx always had a rebellious streak in his comedy, and he basically built his career and reputation by making fun of "the establishment", for which the panelist and host of "What's My Line?" were a very big part of in New York City from the 1930s onward. Appearing with these "high society" people on "What's My Line?" worked perfectly into Marx' favor comedically, and he used his extensive experience in ad-lib comedy to his full advantage, and worked it with everything he had to give. It is one of Groucho Marx' best performances ever in the medium of television.

      Isleofskye "What's My Line?" held most of their shows at a theater in New York City. That theater specifically had very bad acoustics. Host John Daly and the panel members were always having to repeat themselves, when someone could not hear what the other person, or the contestant, was saying. When the show was shot for one night in Chicago, Illinois, and at CBS Television City, in Los Angeles, California on a few occasions, there were no acoustic problems at those venues.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this episode with my favorite comedian of all time, GROUCHO! But then I read the comments and was saddened to find that we have truly lost our sense of humor. Folks, being a professional a---hole was Groucho's JOB! He spent his life poking the establishment in the nose! They knew exactly what they were going to get when Groucho showed up!!!

      Perhaps that's why he found a whole new audience of young people in the '70s and why reruns of "You Bet Your Life" clicked with high school and college kids at the time. Oddly, my students today don't find him funny; maybe it has to do with political correctness.

    There are a handful of comedians that can walk across a room and have me in stitches, Groucho is one of these. I started laughing when he was introduced and laughed till the end. Sad that they don't make television programs like this anymore.

      The Salvador Dali one was good because he (Dali) tried to befuddle the panel by saying yes to 90% of the questions. Plus, the audience laughed at most of his replies.

    I'm 28 and I absolutely love this show. I would put it in contest with any crappy, generic sitcom from nowadays, in terms of the laughter value. I laugh so much from this show. For example, I love when Mr. Daly gives such a long-winded, discombobulated answer that everyone looks even more lost. Then you add Groucho or Steve Allen to it? I'm literally laughing in tears from how funny it is with the different comedic geniuses they have on from yesteryear. I have no problem with strong language or crude or crass humor, but there's just something about how classy and clean this show was that makes it intoxicating. Get a panel of admirable, sophisticated individuals (I particularly admire Bennett Cerf) and have them play a simple guessing game. It was absolute genius in concept and execution. I would absolutely love to see this come back in the same format. It truly, truly breaks my heart that my generation and those to come will most likely never hear of this show (or care), much less hear the names of the past brilliant and interesting talents who are the celebrity guests -- and non-celebrity for that matter -- who cover such a remarkably broad range of fields.

    I so enjoy looking at these videos of WML. I never saw these programs, since I came from Italy in the 70s. So I enjoy them now! This is the golden age, with shows that are witty, classy and erudite. I have a crush on Arlene Francis... what a lovely lady! and Groucho... a true comic genius, a great wit and a great personality!
