Who said fifties television was uptight?

10:30: 'People before animals! I'm for that!' Me too, Arlene!

I liked when both Arlene Francis and Martin Gabel were on the show. However Arlene Francis and Dorothy Killgallen were phenomenally entertaining.

Dorothy had so many years ahead of working, writing and laughing...who dare to stop it???

06:23 I bet that old goat would have loved to work his magic on Arlene!

Groucho asking the jail warden if he was a corrupt politician is ironic considering the warden was later sentenced to prison for being corrupt. Maybe Groucho was a good judge of character?

In 1986 I was in Manhattan New York in the lobby of Trump Tower. I had observed an elderly couple walking through the lobby. Seeing the videos of Martin Gabel and Arlene Francis. I think that they were the elderly couple that I had observed walking through the lobby? 😊

Such beautiful ladies. Charm, beauty, intelligence and wit. ❤

20?! And to think my marriage just turned 16! ❤🥹

🤣🤣🤣

Groucho! 🤣🤣🤣

5:16 the gasp from Dorothy will always bring joy

What I've always wondered is that over the years Arlene's diamond heart pendant, which is said that Martin gave her on their first anniversary (and she always wore thereafter) seems to change. In early "What's My Line," episodes it appears to have a drop that dangles from the top center, later episodes it seems not to have a drop and appears a bit larger. Wikipedia says in later life she was mugged and it was stolen. How terribly sad to hear. Six months after his death she was interviewed on the "Arlene Herson Show" (CZcams) and Ms. Francis says the heart has diamonds on both sides, but clearly there is no center drop. They are a dear heart couple.

Such a innocent time when this show was on.

Arlene Francis was so cute! ❤

I absolutely adore these two! They are so bright, humorous, beautiful and elegant women ❤

RIP Dorothy.

I think i read that her trademark, beloved, heart necklace was stolen from her.

Love them both. True ladies of dignity! ❤️

She was a beautiful and classy lady ❤

Let's get something straight. Arlene Francis was damn sexy... her shoulders alone rival Helen of Troy.

Arlene was sexy as heck! Dorothy, not so much. Arlene had the most beautiful shoulders in the world.

❤

They just don't make them anymore like these two classy ladies...

I think their funniest interaction was on an episode of What's My Line during which Martin said that Arlene doesn't buy a dress unless it costs at least $5,000. I thought Arlene was going to hit him. Practically every time they said anything the rest of the show, they traded barbs about the incident. Martin admitted he was in trouble by the time they said their good nights. They both had good senses of humor. Arlene's was more brash than Martin's, but they were both witty with words. They were together a long time, and they certainly seemed to love each other and their son Peter.

Love those two..... Actually love them all ❤❤❤❤❤

No one gives a crap about PowerDirector.

Thumbs down because of the music. The song itself is OK, but it doesn’t seem to fit with this video as well as being too loud and distracting. In my opinion.

I’m a huge fan of What’s My Line and love Arlene Francis and Martin Gable. Thank you for the videos.

classic

She once sang "He won’t dance" to the tune of Fred Astaire’s "I Won’t Dance" 🎶

A lovely couple.

I would love to see how their New York apartment was decorated.

Always a happy moment to see Arlene & Martin together. This couple is an example of pure class and we all loved them.

Groucho Marx was an unfunny bore.....embarrassingly juvenile without a script

So nice to see this happy couple. Not so many these days. Those good days are behind us now, never to return. These clips brought tears to my eyes and smiles to my face as I remember these beautiful people.

Two of the most wonderful people ever. I so wish I had had the pleasure of meeting them.

I've met very few people who've had as hearty a laugh as Arlene Francis. Oh, how I love to watch her laugh!

I remember back in the mid seventies, I wrote to Arlene asking for a picture autograph and she did send it to me. I still treasure that

It is so obvious they adored each other.

These two Ladies made the show for me. Not only brilliant but they complimented each other. Dorothy was more shy and Arlene was more flirty. They were a perfect combo.

I never get tired of these segments! They take me back to my youth when I watched them. All the panelists continually show their grace and class. So very obvious now in a world where this is sorely lacking. Arlene Francis lived to be 93.

God, they were so good together. I miss that era in America ❣️

I miss my wife terribly When I am watching a video there is no one I can ask for clarification The only one here with me is our assay who came frmd autwitzh

Love this compilation. Thank you so much.

These 2 ladies though.... gotta love em! They were just wonderful

"I know, but you're rich!"

“He made me do it!” 😂❤

I think I’m one of the few people who did not find Groucho Marx to be funny. I loved his brothers, Chico and Harpo but I didn’t find Groucho to be particularly funny or endearing - and he wasted a lot of time on the program. I felt the same way about Victor Borge. He was a talented pianist but he was not a talented comedian.

I love how Arlene threw her head back when she laughed.😂❤
