Still alive today as well!!

Yes, it's always funny (peculiar) to see the stars of such now-famous films when they're only just making them! You can't believe that they didn't even exist then! It's sad that we seem to have lost the class and style of not only the film stars but even the TV programmes. Can you imagine anyone wearing evening dress for a panel show today! These are so enjoyable because they're funny, clever, gentle and clean. Talk about the 'good old days'! And I wasn't even born then. ☺️

Tony always delivered ...

She’s truly a beautiful person. That’s a woman to marry. I loved her in On the Waterfront and Hatful of Rain.

She was and is. A truly underrated beauty. I found her to be so disarming in On the Waterfront and A Hatful of Rain.

@John Texas MGM wanted Cyd Charisse for the role but Hitchcock insisted on Eva Marie Saint.

@John Texas Certainly Cyd Charisse as much as I like her was wrong for that role. But I don't think it is like Julie Andrews in My Fair Lady at all. Julie Andrews starred in the role on Broadway and unlike Audrey Hepburn could sing well. At least Julie Andrews won the Oscar for Mary Poppins after she was snubbed for My Fair Lady.

@@preppysocks209 Eva Marie Saint was an all 'round better actress than the exceptional dancer and good actress, Cyd Charisse. But it cannot be ignored that Hitchcock loved his cool blondes and Saint could play her looks either hot or cool.

​@@preppysocks209Hitchcock was obsessed with the icy blond archetype. Apparently.

Yea, especially with the dining car scenes with Carey Grant. Her mission was to seduce Mr. Grant and she ended up seducing not only Mr. Grant but every adult and teenaged male who has ever watched it.

You beat me to it, sir. I've been counting the days and she made it. TCM began her "Star of the Month" tribute last night with "On the Waterfront," "North by Northwest" and "A Hatful of Rain." She has truly had a wonderful life beginning with parents who loved and encouraged her.

Very much so. It should be every man’s dream to marry someone like her, whose internal beauty is at least on par with her external beauty.

Interesting, though, that she was supposedly working on the picture in New York. In the film, she doesn't appear until the scene on the train, which must have been done in a studio. She's not in any of the N.Y. location shots. And did anybody notice that practically the entire train sequence shows them passing a lake on the left side. Longest lake in the world? And between New York and Chicago!?

@@CamhiRichard a lot of the "lake" is actually the Hudson River. Some of the landmarks pictured still remain. It is possible that some of the hotels or the auction house or the train station, where she appeared, although supposedly in Chicago, were actually filmed in NY.

in addition, Hitchcock was not happy with the dresses that were designed for her. He wrote (and you can hear this in a TCM interview that Ben Mankiewicz did with EMS around 2011) that he took her to Bergdorf Goodman and allowed her to select her own wardrobe that would enhance her ability to play a "sexy spy lady."

Bigfoot Mangiacavallo; as already pointed out that "lake" is the Hudson River. The actual location of Grand Central Terminal was filmed--the concourse--was filmed on location. The underground sequence of the platform and boarding the train was at the studio. You should especially note the Cary Grant is walking on the red carpet of The 20th Century Limited that was indeed used for the boarding of that train in real life.The Hotel that Grant is spirited out of by the two thugs is actually The Plaza Hotel, still around.

It IS funny to hear them talking about an iconic classic like it's just another film she's working on. But who knew the future? Vertigo preceded North By Northwest and met with mixed reviews at the time. Fools...

No that was pure EMS and the natural exchange between the two was classic TV.

Reminded me of Lily Tomlin's character, Ernestine, the switchboard operator, from Laugh In. I can't believe I remember that, as I was six at the time. 😂

Bennett Cerf? When an attractive young lady appeared on the show with the occupation of lawyer.... His response was "what a waste of beauty". My God I lived in that time!

I had the same thought.

Agreed.

She really is something else, eh?

Agreed. So much personality which only adds to the attractiveness.

Your right. It was sexy, and yet there was nothing common about it.

Indeed, sounds much nicer if Arlene had to say "Archibald Leeeeach"... ;-)

I certainly do! Of the panelists, Dorothy Kilgallen is my favorite. With Bennett Cerf a close second, then Tony Randall!

Always lovely but never more beautiful than in "Ön the Waterfront".

Her 100th birthday in just over a month!

She really is beautiful

Good manners? I guess women were unable to sit down without a man holding the chair and looking smug.

Unless you were African-American or LGBT or a woman wanting equal pay.

waccamatt yeah , because so much has improved in the last 60 years- So in order to improve those things, let’s be mean and rude to each other . Yes there were a lot of social injustices back then. But there were also a lot of people trying to change things. I can only imagine 60 years from now- when future generations look at our behaviors and how we spoke and treated each other - whether on social media or otherwise. We today are hypocrites to criticize ‘back then’ when it’s much worse today.

@@dawnfalvey6766 Well said, Dawn. C.S. Lewis called the criticism of people from earlier times for not thinking the way we do now "chronological snobbery".

Exactly….I couldn’t have stated it better myself…look at the behavior of people on planes,and look at how trashy,and yes I said how trashy women dress today…there should by a law against a size 18 cow trying to stuff her enormous butt into a size 2 pair of leggings,all of our eyes need a break.

+Dick Wilson Yes, there were once four product lines of Kellogg's miniature-packs' cereals. They were -- Snack Pak (6 boxes, kids' line cereals with more sugar), Fun Pak (8 boxes, also kids' line), Variety Pak (10 boxes, mix of healthy and kids' lines; now marketed simply as "Kellogg's Variety"), and Jumbo Assortment (18 boxes, also mix of healthy and kids' lines). And by "healthy" I mean traditional "adult" cereals such as "Corn Flakes," "Product 19," "Shredded Wheat," and "Special K." I guess "Rice Krispies" would be considered a kids' line (because of its "Snap, Crackle & Pop" marketing), although it is lower in sugar than "Cocoa Krispies" and certainly also enjoyed by many adults. Today, I think only "Kellogg's Variety" pack remains. But there is also a 30-boxes' assortment of Kellogg's miniature cereals at the various warehouse chain stores (BJ's, Costco, and Sam's Club). Additionally, General Mills has its "Breakfast Pack" of 10 cereals. I eat "Honey Nut Cheerios" in regular box size three or four days a week already. But, when I am in the mood, I can still enjoy some "Trix" or "Lucky Charms" (am I imagining it, or have the marshmallows become smaller and less tasty?). I am unsure if Post still has its "Post-Tens" variety packs. I used to enjoy "Alpha-Bits," "Crispy Critters," "Honey Comb," "Rice Krinkles," and "Sugar Crisp," as well the classic "Raisin Bran." I understand Post no longer manufactures "Krinkles," but that "Fruity Pebbles" is its descendant. As I recall, "Krinkles" was similar to Kellogg's "Rice Krispies," only sugar-coated. I also always wanted to try "Post Toasties." Did Quaker ever have its own mini cereals' line? This would include "Cap'n Crunch," "Life Cereal," "Puffed Rice (and Wheat)," "Quaker Oh's," and "Quisp," among other of the QO lines. For whatever it's worth, I prefer the "Kellogg's Variety" to the General Mills "Breakfast Pack." And I also prefer Kellogg's "Cocoa Krispies" to General Mills' "Cocoa Puffs."

+gymnastix Careful! You might get a reputation as a cereal killer! Other than the chocolate, Cocoa Puffs and Cocoa Krispies aren't exactly equivalents. The Puffs are corn based and the Krispies are rice based. The Trix you enjoy are basically fruit-flavored Kix, while Cocoa Puffs are chocolate-flavored Kix. There was also a sugar-coated Kix based cereal called Jets. It was discontinued in 1974. I remember a commercial that promoted three of the cereals that had the line: "Kix ... Trix ... yum, I like Jets." I couldn't find that commercial, but I did find this one for Jets, starring my favorite crime-fighting duo, Rocky and Bullwinkle. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMpllLpisqmVf5s.html Getting back to the comparison, the one advantage of Rice Krispies and Cocoa Krispies is that by adding some marshmallow you can make treats. Krispie Treats were part of the volume of Christmas cookies my mom (eventually with my help) made every year. It would be difficult to make cookies out of Kix or Cocoa Puffs without pulverizing them first.

She's still alive... And 96.

@@su8483 And she's still alive. 97 now. :)

Mr. Hayden died in 2016 but the two were married for 65 years, a rarity in Hollywood. Ms Saint could have pursued more film roles but she prioritized family as well, with apparently very happy results. She still is active and appears on TV, although she is approaching 95!

It is excellent but Rear Window is just as good if not better.

@@preppysocks209 My favorite Hitchcock movies in order are Rear Window, North by Northwest, and Vertigo. Vertigo has the most fascinating plot but its mood is so dark. Rear Window is the easiest to watch again & again, and it has moments of humor and romance. North by Northwest is very intriguing, and you're always wondering if Cary Grant's character Roger Thornhill is really who he says he is. Gorgeous love theme.

I thought Arlene Francis looked gorgeous in this episode. Her halter dress is stunning. I've never thought Eva Marie Saint was beautiful. Pretty, but that's about it. I guess the blonde pageboy was her signature hairstyle, but it was always plastered down with hairspray. Looser would have been more flattering. Great movie she was making.

That's nice to hear.

@@TheProfessorpat Neither can I. Naturally stunning woman.

Absolutely. The dining car scene was so memorable. But it bothered me....did they ever get around to eating the brook trout 😏? John Daly and Tony Randall seemed a little irritated with each other during the Eva Marie Saint feature...live late night Sunday television broadcasts, schedule limitations and general tiredness would have occasionally taken their toll. I am just amazed how Mr Daly and the panel managed to sparkle most of the time though.

you mean it isn't now?

These people's lives did not exist outside of the upper East Side townhouses of Manhattan.. or Westchester.....that movie theaters existed in the Bronx, Brooklyn, queens or New Jersey was not in their scope of thinking....

There would be occasional mentions of Brooklyn. I think Arlene and Martin lived in Riverdale at one point, and Bennett lived in Mount Kisco. But Queens, Lomg Island and New Jersey may have been on the moon as far as they were concerned, I can only remember Queens being mentioned in reference to the World's Fair.

I have written a very similar post before about this. This show gives you the feeling it is in the present, not the past. Look at the comments. People write Dorothy looks good tonight or what is Bennett referring to? This is the only show I have seen this happen on. Maybe we are all wishing it so.

@@andrewroberts8139 You do not look foolish. Dorothy and Bennett have been gone for decades, Daly departed sometime around 1990 or so and Arlene and Tony lasted into this century for some years. Ms. Saint was still married to the husband she married in 1951 and had two children with when he died in 2016 at the age of 90, so their kids have good genes for longevity. She and Olivia de Havilland, still in Paris at 105 or some such, are among the few stars left from old Hollywood.

Dead as dead may be. Alas.
