      I think (other than the 1968-75 syndicated version) there have been a few attempts at doing "Line" or something close to it over the years.
      Wally Bruner and Larry Blyden were excellent hosts in the 1968-75 version.
      But the show became more like other daily daytime game shows and much less like the class of of the 1950-1967 era.
      I attribute much of that to the absence of John Daly.

      As I've said in a couple of other comments, her film debut as lounge singer Lyn Lesley in the 1952 film "Don't Bother To Knock" (co-starring with Richard Widmark and Marilyn Monroe, among others) is equally astounding.

      It should also be noted that Anne Bancroft portrayed a much older woman than the one she played in "The Graduate" when she had the title role in "Mother Courage and Her Children" on Broadway. The play takes place over a period of 12 years and she has three adult children when the play begins. At some point in the production, she has gray hair.
      Here is a picture of Miss Bancroft in stage makeup (or at least partially made up) for the role as she receives her Oscar for "The Miracle Worker" from Joan Crawford:

    What a lovely dress of Ms. Francis on this episode. Over the years of this show, some of the dress styles were pretty wacky by today's standards. But, among them were also some that would still be considered quite classic. What is entertaining of this show is that everyone dresses as if they were going to a formal ball, with the men wearing tuxedo's usually, and the women in formal gowns. They had to have been on loan as no-one could afford weekly changes of such designer outfits, costing hundreds or thousands even then.

    The very next night ANNE BANCROFT unexpectedly WON her one and only Oscar for THE MIRACLE WORKER. The Best Actress race of 1963 was one for the ages. The amazing line-up of nominees were: Miss Bancroft, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Geraldine Page and Lee Remick. Personally, I would have voted for Miss. Page for SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH (one of my all-time favorite films.) My close second choice would have been Miss. Davis for her terrifying performance in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? Her co-star in that film JOAN CRAWFORD was furious at being snubbed for Best Actress that year and BEGGED all the nominees to allow her to accept the Oscar on their behalf if they were unable or UNwilling (in Miss. Hepburn's case) to attend. Miss. Bancroft was starring on Broadway to great acclaim in MOTHER COURAGE and didn't expect to win the Oscar so she remained in NYC. Sure enough, JOAN CRAWFORD had her moment in the sun, pushing her arch-rival BETTE DAVIS out of her way as she strode on-stage to great applause to accept the Oscar for ANNE BANCROFT.

    As to Katharine Hepburn loosing to Anne Bancroft the best actress Oscar in 1962, as to Anne Bancroft loosing the best actress Oscar to Katharine Hepburn in 1967 -- I think AMPAS got it exactly backward.

      Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft: a more superficially mismatched couple I've never seen. But what an inspiring marriage they had!
      The one film they did together, "To Be Or Not Be", was quite good, especially given it was a remake of a classic 1942 film (remakes rarely work). She also appeared in his TV special, "An Audience with Mel Brooks", invited onstage near the end to reprise the duet they did in that film, a version of "Sweet Georgia Brown" sung entirely in Polish. :)
      They were just a delightful couple. She had to have been one smart cookie indeed to have had the taste to pick Mel, considering she could have snared any of the most attractive men in the world if she'd wanted to go that route. She was truly one of the most stunningly beautiful women I've ever seen, and *what* an actress.

And she played the role of a "been around, seen a lot of things" lounge singer quite well! (She had appeared on TV for a couple of years before that, doing drama anthologies, using the name Anne (or Anna or Ann) Marno; "Don't Bother To Knock" was her first credit as Anne Bancroft.)

I wonder if that was deliberately set up by the production staff, as a way of getting the questioning on to his product sooner - and, sure enough, Phyllis Newman asked that question right at the start.

      soulierinvestments has speculated, and I think with good cause, that Phyllis Newman was being groomed to replace her around this time in case Dorothy didn't get it together. I'm glad she bounced back (well, bounced back to some extent, anyway): As much as I like Phyllis Newman (and I really do), and as much as Dorothy frequently annoys me (she really does), the contrast between her and the rest of the panel is a lot more interesting than having another charming, beautiful, witty female panelist. They already had Arlene for that.

    • @MrJoeybabe25
      @MrJoeybabe25 Před 10 lety +23

      I agree, Phyllis was beautiful and charming and becoming rather good at the game. But Dorothy was an institution. She was as much WML as John Charles Daly. Sure, she could be annoying, but more often she was endearing in her quest for the game and her vulnerability (at least on the show...I know she was a tiger in print) and when she died, there was a terrible void that was never replaced. We already know what the show is like without Dorothy. She, as we know, kept the show and the game from becoming a chat fest or pun palace (with all respect to the lovely Arlene and the witty and urbane Bennett). And Dorothy's challenges to John kept him from becoming just a headmaster.

      Joe Postove Well said. I recall that when these were airing on GSN, I sort drifted off watching them regularly when they got to the shows after Dorothy had died. Not that it wasn't still a great show, but I do feel a bit of the magic was lost, which is remarkable for me to say since she used to annoy me fairly regularly!

      Yeah, I was pretty surprised to see the gum chewing, too, given the high class gloss of this show.

      I've read that a small number of the last season's episodes were broadcast in both color and black & white. I don't think the color ones were preserved. You can see Arlene and Bennett in color on the syndicated version of the show, though. :-) John did a few things in color as well.

    • @WhatsMyLine

      Reluctant Dragon The last year of WML was, in fact, broadcast in color, and recorded on videotape. However, the only surviving copies we know of are B&W kinescopes just like the rest of the series. There was *just* a discussion about this on another video, can't remember where, speculating as to whether any of the color videos have been preserved by private collectors. It sounds like the best we can hope for is that a copy of the very last episode may have been preserved, but even that is doubtful. I think it's all lost for good, another victim of network tape wiping.

      ***** Of course colorizing can be done. It's just that someone would have to spend the time and money to do it, so I'd say it's not going to happen. I honestly can't see the market for it. But colorizing has come a long way since the days of Ted Turner's abominations of the 1980s. I saw some colorizations done within the last few years, and I don't think I would have been able to tell the original film was B&W if I hadn't already known. It was that good.
      Anyhow, I don't think you were on that thread I was referring to, dylan. We were talking about the last year of videotaped, color shows, and wondering whether some private collector had it, because there had been a short clip of it (possibly) posted before.
      I'd refer you to the thread, but there's just no good way on YT or Google+ for me to find where it was, despite the fact that this thread was active as recently as YESTERDAY. I hate the new comments system so much. But the great comments you folks leave more than make up for that!

      I don't know if you saw the "I Love Lucy" Christmas show they had on CBS last year, but I thought the colorization was done quite well. They still have a clip of it here www.cbs.com/shows/holiday_central/video/lB4elRGG_LEWYx_Fo9NjkjOLsDNyUiDf/holiday-special-i-love-lucy/ (as a side note, I didn't realize CBS.com had full episodes of many of their classic series, including Lucy, Twilight Zone, etc!)
      But I'd have to agree, we're a ... niche market. Fun to dream, though.
      Thanks for the info on the color episodes. It's sad we'll probably never see them, but you never know. Sometimes a Monet turns up in somebody's granny's attic. :-)

      Reluctant Dragon I generally point to the example of the complete version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis having been shockingly discovered in Argentina a few years back, after decades of folks searching for it and believing it to be lost forever. So yes, there's always hope on that level.
      The difference here is that I would expect that the network only had one copy of each show. Once they erased and reused the tapes (for short sighted economic reasons), the only copy was destroyed forever. So I'm not too optimistic. The best bet would be that a staff member squirreled away a copy illegally,
      I hope I'm wrong, but I really don't think we'll ever see a color episode of the CBS WML shows.
      I'm still very, very, very mad at CBS for issuing a *totally* unfair strike on my Vintage Comedy Vault channel. So CBS and I are no longer on speaking terms. ;)
