Robert Mitchum was one of the original "bad boys" of Hollywood. Loved him.

These are great. From a time so far removed from ours it might as well be another planet.

Loved him in Heaven knows Mr. Alison.

One of my favorite person to watch is John's expressions when he is trying to hold back so much of the humorous moments. Precious.

Dorothy"s facial expressions are priceless.

Fabulous What's My Line episode. The diaper segment had me laughing out loud. And Robert Mitchum is one of my favorites from that era. "Out of the Past" is a classic film noir, and also features a young Kirk Douglas.

Mr. Poole was an absolute delight, and he seemed to really be enjoying himself. Classic episode!

This diaper service episode is one of my all-time favorites. It never gets old!!

Great episode... Dorothy's reaction to the audience laughter is interesting during the diaper service part... you see the wheels turning in her mind...

My, I loved Robert Mitchum. Still love him. Watch all his re-runs. He's a natural badboy.

Mitchum was obvious from his voice alone...despite the feigned accents. He has an unmistakable timbre to his voice. I think the panel 'carried ' him for a respectable distance

I'd scream with glee if I saw Robert Mitchum too!

This was one of the funniest ones I've seen yet. That diaper segment with Mr. Poole was wonderful.. I just discovered these old shows and they've been a comfort during these times

ROBERT MITCHUM was one of the most under-rated YET most popular stars who ever worked in Hollywood. Inconceivable to think that he was NEVER even nominated for an Academy Award, not even for CAPE FEAR. He also happened to be my late mother's favorite male actor of her lifetime. May they both RIP.

I laughed so hard at the diaper segment and the audience’s reaction to it that I cried 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🥰‼️ Robert Mitchum was funny too. Didn’t know he knew so many accents.

Robert Mitchum is one of the greatest artists the American cinema has given us. God bless him. He should have received an Honorary Oscar and the AFI lifetime achievement award.

Saw Robert Mitchum on a talk show one. The moderator asked him the following: "What makes a good actor?". His answer: "Know your lines, know your marks, and show up on time"! They don't make them Bob anymore. God bless him.

All these mystery guests oozed class and talent

John is having the most fun in this episode I think. Love Dorothy’s skilful questioning. She is a joy to watch. At a few times she seems not amused by the audience’s loud laughter though.

Robert Mitchum is what they call a mans man. Loved him singing Little old wine drinker me.

I really 💘 this show, I'm thankful that it had such a long run, lots of episodes to choose from. Almost forgot to mention I really like the audience reactions, they're so into it

In all the years I've been watching these reruns on 'the Tube'.. I have never seen this episode before. Wow... the diaper service segment was Priceless!

The Misses Hart/Finlayson were certainly two of the loveliest contestants to grace WML while Mr. Poole added much good fun. And who could ask for a better mystery guest than Robert Mitchum? All in all, great episode along with some witty questions and comments from a lively panel that was really on for this one!.

Men who could wear a tuxedo as if were a t-shirt and sweatpants and ladies who wore gowns as effortlessly! Wow!

Robert Mitchum Simply the best!! most talented man, actor, producer, singer, musician, poet etc etc

I'm so hooked on this show. Arlene Francis is my idol. Didn't realize until I was in my 30's (1990) that my dad looked like a cross between Robert Mitchum and Dean Martin in our old family photos from the 50's.

One of my favorite episodes of WML ❤ simply premium quality entertainment!

It is pretty amazing that they got most of the biggest stars in Hollywood to appear on this show.

This was just an amazing episode, I couldn't stop laughing!

this entire diaper segment is golden ;)

My fav !!!! what you see is what you got, he said ''Anyone can act'' he did it for the money, they said ''but Mr. Mitchum you were so good in such and such'' he replied'' they paid me more''. lol he din't care what anyone thought.

For ~20 years, I was in the same profession as the last challenger, but many years after this episode aired. By the time I started in the profession, Bache & Company had been acquired by Prudential two years earlier.

I do so admire both Miss Australia's accent and her manner of speach.

The audience truly enjoyed this episode! The wee ones! So did they all.

Assuming that there was some sort of "green room" where the challengers waited before coming on for their segment, Arch Poole may have considered himself one of the luckiest male challengers to appear on WML.

i always love dorothy's reaction to the crowd busting up. 10:13. 11:50, that look she gives arlene who's grinning from ear to ear... dorothy skillfully extracts his profession.

Blindfolds on in place panel...enter Robert Mitchum!! (Heaven knows, Mr Alison!) Thanks for posting, great. 16.39

Wonder if Arch Poole ever knew he was responsible for one of THE most hysterical WML ever. He also seemed like such a great nice guy. Would love to hear from some of his family. I thought several years ago I read he had passed away years ago. May he RIP

"Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison" is one of my favorite pictures.

Bob Mitchum. The Boss

Something that protects the wee ones! What a funny pun!

Goodness at his peak Gorgeous

Oh I love 💕 this show! So many talented guests from my younger years! Thank you for airing these🥰

Wow power actor one of the best of all

Dorothy Kilgallen is an American Hero!

Mitchum was justifiably sore at the sneaky-back door approach of Cerf to the guessing.

I think I used my Depends while laughing at the diaper segment. Just about the funniest bit of WML I've ever seen, and I've seen all of them (on this KZfaq channel) up to this date. Thank you for blessing us with these videos!!

"The Enemy Below" was a great Mitchum film. Star Trek episode "Balance of Terror" was based on it. One of the best Trek episodes.

I only found this show a couple weeks ago and it's been an absolute treat, I've been binge watching episodes and have become a big fan. One thing I've noticed is that there's a member of the studio audience who has this unique guffaw/cackle type laugh. This individual, for some reason, appears to have sat in the audience for nearly every episode I've watched and included his particular laugh into each one. I find his laugh positively hilarious and it really adds to the experience of watching the show. Given that he appears so frequently, I was hoping anyone out there might have information about his identity, as I've started to be driven crazy by not knowing who this man is, or why he's always in the audience(not that I wish he weren't, I just really want to know). I know for a fact that I've heard this man's laugh over many episodes of this program, which has added to my desire to uncover his identity. Because of his frequency and sometimes echo of his laugh, I've started to wonder if he perhaps was a producer or some similar executive that would have been present that often, not a simple viewer in the audience. Below I've included time stamps which contain this unique laugh I desperately request help identifying within this video 4:43 to 4:44 (After White Mink joke, as crowd laughter dies down) 10:41 to 10:43 (Prominently heard between waves of crowd laughter) 11:10 to 11:12 (Laugh at end of crowd laughter, so prominent it even makes Mr. Daly laugh and look at the audience) 12:59 to 13:02 (Heard under Mr.Daly explantation, only one laughing at Daly's joke about Arlene's answer) 15:47 to 15:50 20:36 to 20:38 20:46 - 20:49 please, anyone

That was Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 Mr. Poole made my tummy hurt i laughed so much... I love WML ❣️❣️❣️💜💜💜

Love Mitch!

Robert Mitchum did sing on a horse in Night of The Hunter..

Would a diaper protect a wee one! I lost it! Everyone in the audience lost it. I love puns... and Mr Cerf being a publisher wraps himself in it at all ages! Diapers ! Dorothy asking innocently "Would the product be solid rather than liquid!" Guffaw!

Archie Poole passed away in 2002. He was the founder of West End Diaper Service in Cleveland Ohio

free spirited, cool, such sensitive hands, love that man

Love love love Robert Mitchum.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ACTOR AS WELL AS WWLL AS STAR!

We had that marvelous Calypso album with Bob Mitchum when I was a kid. I always thought he was just so appealing in a cute little song called Beauty Is Only Skin Deep. Worth a listen!

There’s something very special about these early film stars like Robert Mitchum which todays stars just do not have.

June Finlayson, MIss Australia 1956, also went on to work as a TV presenter both in Australia and England. She marriedand had four children. Sadly, June passed away in 1979 at only 44 years of age,

"Heaven Knows, Mr. Alison" was one of my mother's favorite movies.

I've been watching them from the first episode and it strikes me that there's this bizarre fascination and obsession with "cleanliness" and "beautifying" the home. It just sounds so uptight.

The diaper segment is the funniest thing ever!!!!!

The panel went round and round on whether they could wear the product of the diaper service guy. The guy himself looked like he was about to lose it at any moment. Then Bennett brought the house down with one of the silliest puns in the show's history (wee ones?). Then the panel thought that Robert Mitchum was Elvis. Excellent episode.

Robert Mitchum was in "Night of the Hunter". Directed by Charles Laughton. (his first director) ? Shelley Winters, and Lillian Gish. That was weird. 1955. ;-)

Mitchum at his most beautiful

This show relaxes me.

Perhaps one of the biggest laughs in WML? History occurs during this episode.

LOL all the girls/women screaming when Robert Mitchum appeared. But to be honest, I would scream, too. Great show.

One of the great ones.

I've said it before, that "are you appearing in a picture about to play in nearby theaters" question should never have been allowed, it's like cheating :)

America was great when people dressed up and were not 40 pounds overweight.

Cheers for posting this!

It’s the most well-spoken people in America.

I'm surprised John didn't go further with Miss Australia and have the panel guess what specific area she covered for the newspaper. We also see an example of Bennett slipping in a naughty pun and feigning innocence.

This has got to be the most entertaining episode. Still love 'em all though.

Robert Mitchum was a rarity in Hollywood in that a marijuana arrest didn't destroy his career. It only made him more popular.

I remember this show. I’m enjoying the reruns.

Mitchum is good with accents and wasn't identified by the panel on a later appearance.

WML, Thank you so much for posting this. Best WML episode ever!

That might be the hardest the panel all laughed on this show! What a hilarious moment Bennet created 😂.

This one goes under the "best of" WML from beginning to end. I'd say in the top 5 best! The "wee ones" was already mentioned, but it was interesting to see Dottie Mae take the roll of "panel comedienne" during the diaper service segment in the tradition of Hal Block and the two Allen's, with the same double takes at the audience, every time they guffawed at her line of serious questioning! Wonderful. And it's even funnier because she's NOT a comedienne! I'm not sure why she passed to Bennett. I thought that was rather odd, but generous. She's not one to pass too often. I know she's often accused of hogging screen time, but I don't think that's true. I think she's very anal retentive and wants to be very thorough in her questioning. Plus she wants to win. In my opinion, she's not a screen hog - at least not deliberately. I think she shows that here.

I wish he could have gone on a bit longer....I enjoyed the different voices he was using.

Miss Australia 1956, June Finlayson. 1935 -1979 RIP

Mitchum is lookin' especially goooood here. Ahh, darlin....**sigh**

The audience was having a wonderful time with the diaper service man!

I loved all black and white movies

I"ve many incarnations of the LBD (little black dress) but Arlene's here is STUNNING! I gasped when she walked in. Almost like a black wedding dress.

What a treat. (R.M).

I loved every movie he performed in. A true artist who did not BUY a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.

After 7 years I would think a panelist would realize that when John says 2 down 8 to go the answer to their question was no, regardless of whether they actually heard the answer from the mystery guest.

great irish accent!

tremendous leading man

LOVED THIS HE WAS A GREAT UNDERRATED ACTOR

Mr. Cerf said the wee ones meant babies I think, they were thinking what the diaper covers it seems. Very interesting how the term wee ones can have different connotations. English is a funny language, Lol!

I was born in the year of my favorite mitchum movie😊 "night of the hunter".

His performance in Enemy Below alone is Oscar and Grammy worthy..

Was wondering if anyone enjoyed Robert Mitchum in later years, in the made for television miniseries Winds of War and War and Remembrance. All of it good, but like him more in the first series.

The segment with the 2nd challenger was hysterical, primarily for Arlene's chuckle at around the 15.15 mark. SO funny!!

The" wee ones" must be one of the biggest laughs in WML history.
