Mr. Mitchum was a hoot. Great sense of humor.

What delightful old fashioned, clean, and intelligent humor.

Ol' sleepy eyes ' Mr Mitcham, a brilliant actor, humorous & a perfect example, of how to just 'be yourself. Talent & presentation sadly missed.

Mitchum had the best voice disguise ever for the show

John Daly was the MOST gracious, polite, erudite, intelligent, host of any TV show ever.

Robert Mitchum does a very convincing British accent.

Robert Mitchum late in life had a restaurant in Santa Barbara and used to go around the tables asking patrons if they were being served well.

Robert Mitchum certainly did make records. He wrote and sang the title song to his 1958 movie Thunder Road which made the charts. He also wrote Whippoorwill a lilting and lovely song that Keely Smith sang in the same film. He also recorded a full album of Calypso music.

When Robert Mitchum was asked about his wife during the questioning, it prompted me to look up a little more about him. Like most people, he had his faults and an occasional controversy. But I admire that he met his future wife when they were teens and neither was a celebrity, they eventually married and remained married for 57 years until his death. I was not fortunate to have a long marriage. I admire those who do, especially in the cauldron of temptation that is the entertainment industry. Based on everything I read, he was a devoted family man upon the birth of their first child and no mention of a dalliance with anyone outside of his marriage.

This entire episode was a treat. The elegance with which they interact with each other is so admirable. I feel like I’m back with my parents and their friends during their cocktail parties. Very comforting.

Now there's a man who is not afraid to camp it up ... he just doesn't give a damn.

Robert Mitchum sang the Ballad of Thunder Road (1958).

Loved this! My Dad worked on the Gemini program, and would have enjoyed this so much! RIP Dad! ❤️ By the way, his name is on the monument in Titusville, Florida, dedicated to the Gemini program.

What a gent - fooled the lot of them with that accent. His Irish accent in Ryan's Daughter was brilliant also.

Mitchum-the coolest.

I saw Mitchum on the Dick Cavett show in the early '70's. He had served 60 days in a California jail for marijuana possession 15 years earlier. Cavett asked him about the experience and, without missing a beat, he said it was nice to be with a higher class of people than he was used to in Hollywood. Touche'!!!!

This Congressman is much more dignified than the ones I have recently had occasion to see on television

Mitchum... what a man. In a class of cool badass all his own. And, as screen actors go, far, far too intelligent - and why he so easily stumped the panel. For Mitchum, a piece o' cake.

Who knew Mitchum was funny? He was devastatingly handsome, funny and intimidating.

Robert Mitcham was a scream! And good looking to boot!

I wish they could bring this show back. It paid so much love and respect to not just celebrities and politicians, but everyday people and their jobs.

I remember Mr. John Lindsay as the Mayor of New York city when I was a little girl. Wow, where did the time go?

Robert was quite fun and funny!! Very enjoyable. Plus, he stumped the panel.....

Oh, thanks Robert for this performance, I was born on 28 March! And I would say there is no better gift for my birthday...

What a compliment from John Daly..." you use your words beautifully"

I watch these EXCLUSIVELY for the celebs. They are so fun.

They were so surprised to find out Robert Mitchum made records lol... and I am too!

It is amazing how many of the really big stars come on this show.

The fake British accent was so funny: “Yes, darling”

They should have stopped Bennett Cerf from yelling from the sideline a question and interrupting things. Be polite Bennett!

Amazing how well read and up on the news and current events these panelists were. Even with such busy schedules that their professions required. It seems that people in general were more or less like that. Even when I was in school in the early 1960's we lived at the library. Lol!

Love Dorothy so much..adorable, sweet, and beautiful..and most intelligent...total package for sure...

The few. The proud. Robert Mitchum stumps the panel. Yeah! He fared much, much better than he did 8 years earlier.

All these beautiful people i remember from my childhood, teens, and as a young adult. Now I’m 62, the age my mother left us.

He had a fabulous facility with dialects as he demonstrates here. Sadly, it was an underused talent in his career.

I would love to see Rich Little on a show like this, they could ask questions for a week and would still be confused as to who they were talking too,. I am surprised that no star has impersonated another star, at least not that I have seen

Robert Mitchum. What an amazing man.

Robert Mitchum had that walk you could tell him a mile away the way he walked

I remember his version of the song "The ballad of Thunder Road" from the movie Thunder Road. He did not sing it in the movie, but the song was used in the beginning credits and an instrumental version throughout the movie chase scenes. He was great in Heven Knows Mr. Allison with Debra Kerr.

"The law they swore they'd get him, but the devil got him first..." The Ballad of Thunder road, as sung by Robert Mitchum. Listened to hundreds of times as a kid.

Wow, I remember when Mr. Lindsey was Mayor of New York. I was 9 years old in 1966 and I remember watching him on the news. Two terms he did. I was a teenager when he finished in 1974. I guess I'm getting up there, Lol!

Nobody’s ever made Daly laugh like that before, I like his laugh. Who would have guessed Robert Mitchum was funny! He’s so cool, who would know it. Man, he had it all! Is it just me or did he have a sexy walk?

Jack King was the voice of the launch at the Cape, but once the spacecraft "cleared the tower", Paul Haney took over from Houston.

Had to watch just to see Mitchum. Oh yum!

It's great that this show in on You Tube so we can still see these great actors. An era gone.☹

Modest enough to not be guessed, many can't help but let the panel know because of their ego

Mitchim walked out like I know I'm cool 😂

Cerf thought he was Burt Lancaster...The Train...a great movie

My, I sure do love watching these shows so much! Thank you for airing these, as it's a wonderful way to end the day.

One of my favorites. An icon.

Robert Mitchum did a great job with his voice. The public back in 1965 really respected the space program and NASA. It was all quite amazing in 1965 what was going on in space. Plus we were trying to beat the Russians to the moon at that point. Took another four years till the USA got there. Thanks for the video.

The guest called Mr Haney. There's something about him ... makes me think (as a Brit) of the perfect American ... professional, self effacing and decent to the core.

Check Mitchum's classic "Mitchum walk" as he leaves..:)

What a wonderful programme. X

If Dorothy had delivered the introduction that Bennett gave Daly here, all her detractors would be saying "there you go, proof, she's drunk!!"

Mitchum played a wimpy schoolteacher in 'Ryan's Daughter' which on paper looked like miscasting for such a tough guy, but he carried the part well so full credit to him..:)

I've always had a crush on Robert Mitchum since I was a little girl

Robert Mitchum was in the weirdest I ever saw as a little kid. "Night of the Hunter". Very surreal. I think it was Lillian Gish's last movie, and of course Shelley Winters. Peter Graves (as a prisoner with Mitchum) was in it, too.

Mmmmm Robert Mitchum

wow the golden age of TV...great actors and personalities

“Taxes are what we pay for civilization.” Interesting quote! ~ Justice Holmes

Wow is Robert Mitchum handsome

He switched effortlessly from a hint of an English accent to a touch of the Blarney...I rated him one of the greats with a physical presence on screen second to none...

i think that Mitchum, was the most Alpha male in Hollywood.

Has anybody noticed Ms Killgalon always looks at the handsome men as they’re walking off the stage?? That is so cute, she’s a little flirt - lol

It's charming to see how Dorothy & Arlene are clearly tickled to sit next to Lindsay.

If this was filmed in March 1965, it's sad to think of Dorothy being murdered 7 months later. Wistful.

Handsome Robert Mitchum and humble

NOW......THATS A MANS MAN......how're...he was sooo rugged..handsome...and a fine versatile actor

It makes me so sad that Dorothy won’t be on for much longer.. she was the best part of WML to me and my hubby… she was an incredible, intelligent, gracious beauty and after she was murdered we quit watching

He is the only one they didn't guess that I have seen. Great actor and very pleasant.

Mitchum - whose maternal grandfather was a Norwegian sea captain (as was James Cagney's) - would have turned 100 on August 6th.

The best guest they ever had.

No wonder Mitchum's leading ladies fell in love with him. What a doll!

I also did the same thing. Broken shoulder ouch

The wonderful and funny robert mitchum did a great job in fooling the panel

Dorothy's group question. Pain killers? However -- In 1957, legendary singer Sophie Tucker appeared as a mystery guest. She used a very deep voice but the panel discovered she was a female. Dorothy found it all confusing and asked her if she were a group. That got a huge laugh at that time, too.

Loved Mr Mitchum's voices!

He stumped Dorothy!! Proud to say Mr Mitchum lived in Blackbird, DE for about a minute

what an accent Mitchum did

The Gemini flight they're discussing was the first manned flight in the series, which continued through '66. This was Gemini 3' "The Unsinkable Molly Brown."

Considering the fact that she broke her shoulder, Dorothy was looking very well tonight. For the last few episodes she really looked sickly.

Looking at all the film stars that came on this program can you imagine any of today’s actors appearing in a similar show. We don’t have film stars like these any more.

One of the greats of hollywood

I enjoyed Robert Mitcham in the movies with john Wayne but to me his greatest acting was on winds of war n war n remembrance to me his greatest role

If Robert Mitchum didn't change his tone and delivery, they would have guessed correctly. RM has a unique deep voice that is easily identifiable. One of the few A celebs that stumped the panel and very entertaining segment. :)

There's Arlene again screeching, "sing for us! sing for us!"

Mitchum....in the night of the hunter is one of films greatest villains.....and had something very few male actors did....

Mitchum simply the Best!

Robert Mitcham great guy.

Mitchum--master of dialects.

One of the BEST episodes of this show I've ever seen!! The late, great ROBERT MITCHUM was my late mother's all-time favorite actor. Her name was Dorothy and both she and Mr. Mitchum died in 1997. His wife also happened to be named Dorothy. He was a towering figure in pictures in the 40s and 50s but I never knew he could be so funny. My mother thought he was so handsome. Incidentally, Mr. John Lindsay was the mayor of NYC the same year that I was born there in June of 1968, only two weeks after New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy was slain. I was born in New York Presbyterian, the same hospital where many famous people have DIED, including President Richard Nixon, Andy Warhol, Malcolm X, Rue McClanahan, NYC Mayor Ed Koch, Nora Ephron, Lauren Bacall among them. Sadly, after spending the first whole month of my life in the preemie ward there in the summer of '68, it was ALL downhill from there. lolz

Robert Mitcham was a very underrated actor

Robert Mitchum was beautiful. And funny.

My Mother would never allow this show on our TV until Dorothy Kilgallon died!

How did Bennett happen to guess the NASA guy? I swear he was clued in to the identity of their occupation.

What a great actor: Robert Mitcham: perfect voce inflection and control: a tiny vibrancy not exploited by the Panel.

Lindsay was so tall that the camera couldn't handle it. He eventually became NYC mayor (RIP).

Robert Mitcham was a sweetheart...he owned quarter horse racehorses, he was kind and interested in everything 🥰

It's funny how the guys whistle when a lady signs in now a days it would be discouraged
