This show is awful. When he asked about who costarred with Sonia Henie in "Iceland"... I immediately said "John Payne." I've never seen the movie... and have no idea where that answer came from. The same thing happened with the Carol Heiss question. The mind is amazing. My wife thinks I watched the show before we watched it. Trust me... once was more than enough.
As seen on Wednesdays at 9:30pm(et).
By the way, his name was *Bert.*
A nice piece of television history. But geez, some of those questions...

Shows like this gave answers to contestants. They had a book full of info - it was up to them to read it and memorize it.
Definitely not for the faint of heart. 😥
An early role for legendary announcer Johnny Olson.
No one broke the bank
The show was revived twice, in 1976 & 1985.
Neither version lasted long.
