- The Walter Winchell show is a simulcast television broadcast of his radio show. It is something to see as he broadcasts news and gossip while clicking his trademark Morse Code keys. The news seems to indicate a 1953 date, as he refers to "coming up" of the "Las Vegas nuclear test conducted 3/17/53. There is a studio audience who includes Barbara Stanwick, Richard Widmark, Jean Peters, and Mitzi Gaynor. They sit there expressionless and are only shown briefly. Winchell looks into the camera to speak to "Mr. and Mrs. United States" and warns of the Russian threat. "Beware of the red olive branch, It's poison Ivy". Historical TV moment in time. The voice of the "Untouchables" in his true form. Complete with commercials for Gruen Precision watches. Transferred from a 16mm kinescope film.
Flash! Walter Winchell on live TV! Rare 1953 kinescope rescued by Moviecraft! Fine restoration!
Thanks Lonnie...your input always is appreciated.
This is a HUGE gem of a video clip. Thanks a million for sharing this. The ticker-style delivery of the legendary Walter Winchell is timeless. A classic that may never be duplicated. One of the most powerful journalists in American history. Could make or break careers in entertainment and politics. His newspaper columns attracted millions of readers, just as his radio and television news programs attracted millions of listeners and viewers.
A little carried away with yourself, no?
No

Just finished watching a very good documentary on him, Walter Winchell: The Power of Gossip. He certainly blended entertainment and news in a new way and made himself the lead of the story, whether true or made up. His contemporary Ed Sullivan said that Winchell had too much power, and he might have added if he didn't, that he used it to ruin the lives of many for no reason other than they crossed him or it would bring him additional fame or fortune. After ABC canceled this TV show and the radio broadcast, and the newspaper column ended, it was finally over.
For the film, "The Sweet Smell of Success" (UA, 1957) it was said that Bert Lancaster's character, the sleazy J.J. Hunsecker, was based on Winchell. Take a good listen to Winchell's anti-Soviet Russia rant. 💙💙💙
A superb film! It was based on Winchell and was the start of the decline of his power when people learned how evil he was.
He was a relentless Red Baiter, but his narration on The Untouchables was priceless.
Whatever's been said about Walter, no one can deny his remarkable, attention-grabbing delivery. He was definitely one of a kind.
I could listen to him till my ears melt.
At the time, Gruen sponsored Winchell on radio and TV, on Sundays, at *two* different times. The TV version was seen at 6:45pm(et); his traditional radio broadcast was heard at 9pm(et).
Pure Winchell. Dont take off that hat & loosen that tie
This is great. Thanks for uploading.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is awesome, thank you.
You're welcome!
The first 4 minutes of this was very anxiety inducing
THANKS, 10MILL!!!!!!! UPLOADER.
Glad to oblige...
April 12, 1953 --- with the reference of FDR death
Thanks for your help determining the date of this show! I'm not sure how that fits with the Las Vegas nuclear test, though.
Note dates in this --- there was a series of nuke tests in 1953 at the Nevada test site. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Upshot%E2%80%93Knothole
@@jameslundt5302Thanks for the clarification!
14:12 Referencing Stalin, who had died the month before this show.
@@ronflatter1235 Yes, that's why he referred to the erasure of the MEMORY of Stalin.
$35,000 in 1953 is worth over $385,000 today
“The packasteenee” 😂 I love it
No parody of this could be funnier than the original.But on the other hand ,Winchell,his rat-a-tat style notwithstanding, occasionally had some worthwhile commentary
Occasionally, yes. The rest was pure gossip. Which, if he did not like you, could ruin people's lives and careers. Or come damn close as Lucille Ball could tell you were she still alive.
Pure propaganda. The original Fox News
@@jhlfsc Actually Winchell's politics leaned heavily democratic. He was a staunch supporter of FDR and was very outspoken about the red scare created by the republican's in the 1950's.
Also, the first cable news channel to put a totally liberal or conservative slant on their news reporting was CNN in 1980. Fox did not come about until 1996.
He was great, and I love his donuts i.e. Winchel's Donuts
Winchell was the model for Jim Healy.
he was the narrator of the tv series The Untouchables
Verne Smith speaks for Gruen.
What you would have seen on the radio
Tired of fighting the Russians
0:40. "Pakisteenee"
Personally, I prefer this to the pretty faces and happy talk of today's newscasts.
You must enjoy anxiety lol
It was lies and gossip then; it's lies and gossip NOW. If you wanted REAL investigative reporting back then, you had to look to people like Edward R Murrow, Walter Cronkite, etc.
For a good laugh,set the playback speed on your phone to 1.5 or even 2.0😅
I'm curious what is he doing with his right hand every few seconds that's making that beeping sound?
11:53 Confidential, the Robert Harrison scandal sheet that bore no shame.
Larry Lujak WLS 890 am.
Miss him & Tommy on Animal Stories
Wonder if Matt Drudge...got his dress style..from Walter
An old man yelling at the camera. When he died, no one cared.
10:23 (really, Two Forty-Seven PM)
Time for the Pink Tax.
Time for men to pay or have paid for the women's diamonds before they sell them to raise money to sue for divorce!
