When Dorothy asks Olivia if she's ever played a dual role, she's referring to The Dark Mirror (1946). If anybody's looking for a good film-noir, I suggest you give it a go, I'm sure you'll love it.
1964 is a great period for Dorothy. She looks great; from spring 1963 to spring 1965, she appears every Sunday. And tonight, she practically nailed the ID of game one all by herself.
August 9, 1964. Roughly 3 weeks before I entered the first grade. Or, in other words, the final moments of the best six years of my life. After that, I had to start growing up, like it or not.
Dorothy couldn't help the fact that she was BRILLIANT! Olivia de Havilland was the very personification of elegance, grace and beauty (and still, approaching the century mark, is!) Sadly, it appears she never fully reconciled with her sister (after seeing so many of both sisters' films, I can't help but think Olivia the better actress of the two-far greater range and depth).
There's a pattern with Olivia's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th appearances on this show as Mystery Guest. They happened in March, and in the case of the 3rd and 4th appearances, aired in August.
John Daly was mistaken, which he later admitted. In the segment regarding the tent maker, he did NOT mention there was a product associated with a service.
+Vahan Nisanian That had to make the discussion of Miss de Havvilland's latest picture awkward. The film hadn't been released yet, but they had to act like it had been out several months.
RE: Joseph L Mankiewicz. Only person I can think of who won Oscars for best writing and best directing in two consecutive years: A Letter to Three Wives 1949 and All About Eve 1950. In an ideal word, Mankiewicz would have appeared in 1963 to promote his Cleopatra part I "Caesar and Cleopatra" and then appeared in 1964 to promote his Cleopatra part II "Anthony and Cleopatra." Unfortunately, 20th Century Fox got embroiled in that project for 4 years and became panicky about recouping costs quickly; the product became a 4-hour- long, choppily-edited "Cleopatra." The movie is not necessarily bad; it could have been great in a different format.
Olivia de Havilland, if you can believe this, is 98 years old. She is also one of two surviving cast members from "Gone With The Wind", which has its 75th anniversary this year.
Mankiewicz could not possibly have meant what he said in his introduction of Arlene, that but for her, he "might be today [he}might be Mrs. Martin Gabel." That would literally mean that if Arlene hadn't married Martin Gabel, he might have married Gabel and somehow be known as "Mrs. Martin Gabel" rather than Arlene. I think he meant to say that if it weren't for Martin Gabel, Arlene might have been Mrs. Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
It was very rare for John to make an error on What's My Line, but when he goofed he goofed big. This is almost as major a whopper as the famous Steve Allen blooper. Mr. De Martine was the head of a company that makes tents, and in such cases the custom of WML was to simply say that the contestant deals in a product. The only services he performed are those customarily performed by any business executive: talking with clients, arranging meetings, publicizing the product and so on. If John had just said "He deals in a product," the panel would have had a fair chance. I happen to have known Mr. De Martine personally. He was our neighbor when I was growing up.
Also, if you can believe this, Olivia de Havilland has not done any feature-length films in theaters in over 30 years. The last time she did any of them was when she starred with Sylvia Kristel, Ursula Andress, Cornel Wilde, Beau Bridges, Ian McShane, Alan Hale Jr. and Lloyd Bridges in Ken Annakin's "The Fifth Musketeer".
I don't remember what any of the questions were, but back in the 1980s when I used to play "Trivial Pursuit" a lot, my friends and I were astounded by the number of questions to which the correct answer was "Olivia de Havilland" -- it was kind of a running joke when we played the game. Somehow her name seemed to come up every time we played -- sometimes more than once during a game!
Nearly every contestant on every show seems extremely well-dressed. Is it possible that there is a costume coordinator who oversees the way that the contestant "look." I'm of the era of WML and I don't recall the the average everyday American coming off this well-dressed. Even at important occasions. Or was it a more tasteful time than I remember.
drchilledair I will assume that you are a doctor well in those years you did indeed Dress much nicer. I know because in 1950s my Mother made my dresses and I always looked nice for school and Sunday school my parents belonged in the church and lodge so I learned to dress nice young I’m not a hippie that’s for sure I wore dresses when I went to high school but they don’t seem to dress well now wearing pants and not well either!
Wow. I don't think that "tent maker" knew what his job was. It was as if he answered the opposite a lot of times. A tent maker who doesn't use his hands comes to mind. But several other things, as well, just doesn't make any sense.
Being a live show, the last contestant does not have much time for the panelists to find the line, so John wants as many questions to be asked as possible.
No wolf-whistles for the attractive Miss Hayashi. This was at a time when interracial attraction was considered taboo in polite, white American society.
Well, if you whistle at all nowadays you will be considered sexist pig and probably will end up in jail for sexual harassment and look at a law suit. How's that for a more "polite" society in America?
***** Well, she did say they were friends -- even though he denied it. Yet another instance of Bennett being somewhat rude, though she seemed to realize he was just kidding and took no offense. She didn't even take offense at his phrasing of the question about her having "been a star for a considerable period of time."
I swear it is positively annoying when John forces his words and speaks over everybody else because he just has whatever he wants to say, and by God he's gonna say it! Lol Regardless of what the panel or the guests want to talk about or anything else, John is the big boss of the show and he's just going to push through like a locomotive and raise his voice and talk over everybody and then you don't understand what anybody says. It's so stupid. And most of the time he drones on in a driving-monotone voice and it's really boring to listen to.
Olivia De Havilland did do a strip tease in a movie! There's a scene in Gone With the Wind where Scarlett O'Hara confronts the Yankee deserter at Tara. After Scarlett shot the Yankee deserter, Melanie disrobed when Scarlett asked for her nightie to clean up the blood stain on the floor.
Striptease is a performing art or an act of seduction that goes beyond merely disrobing. The inclusion of "tease" in the name indicates that. In fact it is/was not uncommon for ecdysiasts, especially in some jurisdictions that limit nude performances, to end their performance at least partially clothed.
I noticed they didn't whistle at Ms. Hayashi when she walked out, despite that fact that she's a beautiful girl, which shows just how racist it was back then.

She passed away last July (2020) at the remarkable age of 104. What a life, what an actress, what a screen giant! Dear missed!
Arlene Francis was such a cool sharp woman. Very much beyond her time

Corleone I’ll watch it based on the wonderful recommendation of the great Dorothy Kilgallen
Olivia de Havilland is the rare beauty both young and older.
Olivia De Haviland really fought for the role of Melanie in Gone With The Wind and fortunately got it...
Good ole Dorothy Kilgallen! She got that policewoman guest all by herself. She always nails it! Bless her
There were only about 8 previous police women contestants. And she knew long before she asked the specific question. More camera hogging
A little known fact is that Olivia smoked for many years, but she wisely quit and lived until her 105th year. Remarkable.
Miss Olivia - great actress and lady!
I'm in love with Olivia 💖💯

Yes, that was awesome! To bring today's vernacular to the 1960s, I wanted to say to her, "You *go*, girl!" :D
She is alive and 100 Happy Birthday

How did Dorthy do that with the Police Woman so quick ? ? ?
John Daly was mistaken, which he later admitted. In the segment regarding the tent maker, he did NOT mention there was a product associated with a service.
As Arlene said, this was the first time he made such a mistake.
Recorded on March 22, 1964.

Why does it say August here?
@@m.e.d.7997 It was taped in March for broadcast in August. This gave John and the panel a chance to have a summer vacation.
Olivia de Havilland would live almost 56 more years after this show aired!!!
I am from New Zealand, and my dad said the people there used to call her "O Love ee a" in the old days.

beautiful Olivia - still with us and turns 102 yo on july 1, 2018 ! ! ! ! ! !
Still with us on December 24, 2019
Awesomely surprised-I’m from Hamilton Ont
OD was ravishing in Gone With the Wind

Wow!
Amazingly, it's now October 20, 2017, and she's still with us at age 101.

Martin joked about him being Arlenes husband
It sure sounded like he wanted to be Martin's wife.
why no one whistle at the japanese gal?
There was still a lot of anger at anyone connected with Japan in 1964. Pearl Harbor was only 23 years in the past.
Man, that whole tent segment was a dog's breakfast!

nonetheless she made movies until she was about 70 -- that did not represent early retirement. And it isn't like she needed the money
Her face when says “Lady in the Cage”!
Love that movie♥️
That movie bothered me
Olivia will celebrate her 100th birthday on July 1, 2016.
And is now 101
Now, she's "Gone with the wind"

Joseph Hoag You wore formals to lodge in the old days things sure indeed have changed!
NO. It's 1964. Read a history book. Look at what folks were wearing at baseball games, movies, etc., etc. They dressed up. Do some research
Back then, appearing on TV was a really big deal. People got dressed up for that.
Wow. I don't think that "tent maker" knew what his job was. It was as if he answered the opposite a lot of times. A tent maker who doesn't use his hands comes to mind. But several other things, as well, just doesn't make any sense.
that was one of the worst segments ever, but John gets most of the blame
I think Olivia de Havilland is the current oldest-living British actress (born in Japan to British parents).
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
I don't think anyone thinks of her as British, especially as she became a US citizen in 1941. She's been American far longer than she's been British.
When that beautiful, talented actress left us on July 26, 2020, she was 25 days past her 104th birthday. An incredible Lady.
That’s too bad that Dorothy guessed that policewoman so quickly. I’m glad that John Daly turned over all the cards.
I don’t like when they quess fast
Glad Dorothy is still alive then.
*_POLICEWOMAN_*
*_TENT MAKER_*
*_PLAYS BILLIARDS (TO DEMONSTRATE TABLES)_*
the last movie that olvia did with euroll flynn was they died with their boots on
I hate it when they rushed the last contestant. I thought that was really inconsiderate and ungracious.
Being a live show, the last contestant does not have much time for the panelists to find the line, so John wants as many questions to be asked as possible.

@Craig Willis Where, on this show ? Did Eartha Kit get whistled at when on this show , I don't remember ?
Pearl Bailey drew the wolf whistles in the same era ... I think you need to take your revisionist analysis back to the drawing board
Never heard the "John is dubious - -how are you Mr Dubious?" line before. 10:02 Cute, Arlene
Arlene had been saying that for years and years to John. Also, Doctor Dubious.
Olivia DeHavilland lived to be 104 years old.
Some of the women's hairstyles of this era of the 1960s remind me of the Coneheads on "Saturday Night Live," and I'm not sure why...
Dorothy had the highest guess rating on the show..Brilliant lady.A terrible end for her.
She's still alive at 102!
The tent round was awful. Misdirection from the guest and host, but worse was that it was so flat: no jokes, just confusion.
7:29 > -- John whoops. The panel did well to get as close as they did given that he should have said something else at that point.
he admitted it himself towards the end. And Arlene too remarked that it was the first mistake Daly made in 14 years.
This is like, what? The third time Olivia de Havilland kissed Bennett Cerf on the face?
*****
Well, she did say they were friends -- even though he denied it. Yet another instance of Bennett being somewhat rude, though she seemed to realize he was just kidding and took no offense. She didn't even take offense at his phrasing of the question about her having "been a star for a considerable period of time."
@@savethetpc6406people weren't so easily offended or quick to faux indignation
A female policewoman in the 1960's was unheard of even in Canada not to mention an Asian!
There have been at least 9 Canadian police women on this show since it began.
@: Again it was basically unheard of and they are the very very very small percent exception for that era and before.
Geritol is 23 percent alcohol
I swear it is positively annoying when John forces his words and speaks over everybody else because he just has whatever he wants to say, and by God he's gonna say it!

Bummer for the first contestant to get picked off on the first round.
she is only about the 8th female police officer to have appeared. DK dragged it out to give herself more face time anyway

hardly a strip tease
Mankiewicz was a terrible panelist
Fck's your problem?
Kilgallen does it again! Guesses the occupation of the guest in two guesses! Talk about rigged!
Prove that it was rigged.
Not rigged, she was very smart.
I noticed they didn't whistle at Ms. Hayashi when she walked out, despite that fact that she's a beautiful girl, which shows just how racist it was back then.
Gee, and you called her a "girl". Hmmm.
@@kentetalman9008 you're right. I should have said young lady, which she was. But the point is the same. Racist.
