Sheila MacRae's Dinah Shore impersonation was spot on. And this episode has one of my all-time favorite Flirty Arlene moments, after the strongman exits. "Isn't he CUTE?" she can be heard saying to Dorothy off-camera, and then, "He's the most adorable strongman I've ever SEEN! I'm sorry, Martin."

Merrida100 Totally. I even think of poor Dorothy and poor Arlene having to come up with new dresses, new hairstyles every flipping week while Bennett just strolls on with the same suit, if not sometimes with trousers that don't even 'go'!! Dorothy in particular looks uptight about her appearance just walking on stage and I imagine she fussed for hours trying to get lipstick to make her lips fuller and makeup to make her face less moon-like while all these glamour people are waltzing through Manhattan. Tough time to be a woman. Meanwhile, look at the state of Gabel!! What on EARTH did Arlene see in him?? He just epitomises dullness. No effort to look good, ever while his wife has to pull out the stops.

Well, I'm sure that was the last time Mr. Cerf criticised Miss Francis with Mr. Gabel present! Arlene is so universally adored that the whole exchange seemed to genuinely shock Martin. Though to be fair to Bennett, this is certainly an exception rather than the rule: he is almost never anything but very warm and very gracious to his longtime neighbour and friend.

There's often little 'oneupmanships' between Daly and Dorothy, Daly and Arlene. Frankly the exception is Gabel here...with his little petty remark which came over too thorny, I thought.

Bennett made a huge linguistic error with the jazz drummer. He says at 23:55 that when you go up in the Empire State Building, you're said to be in high dudgeon. That's entirely wrong. High dudgeon has nothing to do with altitude; it refers to a state of being very angry. Example: She walked out of the meeting in high dudgeon. Bennett of all people should have known better.
@JLionelWaller Жыл бұрын
Except he did not say that, he said, "when you go up in the Empire State building 'they' say you are in a high dudgeon" . Since he is quoting someone else, it is not clear whether he agrees with the idea or not.

In the category of noticing little things (22:04), the final challenger, Dorothy Dodgion, has a first and last name starting with the same two letters. And yet in her signature, the capital D in her first name is completely closed, while the capital D in her last name is very open.

She appears young enough that she may not have been married to Mr. Dodgion for very many years. I wonder whether her birth surname had an open initial letter. Then again, I'm always amazed that our blackboard signatures are so much like our pen-and-paper ones, given that they're achieved with a completely different set of muscular actions -- the brain has to do some pretty impressive re-mapping to make that work.

@@neilmidkiff The thing that amazes me about handwriting, according to what I've read, is that if someone is naturally left handed, but was forced to write with their right hand, the letters still tend to be slanted the way it is natural for someone left handed to write them with the left hand.

Anybody else notice host John Daley's habitual hairdo? The long, long piece of hair that grows from the forehead and is combed back trave!ing down the back of his head. Covering a bald spot at the crown of his head, maybe? Interesting too is that in the show's 17 year run Dailey hardly ages. He always looks about 45 years old. He was 37 when the show started and 63 when it ended in 1967.

@neilmidkiff3 жыл бұрын
John's comb-over appears more complicated than that to me. It looks like he grew it long on the back of his head, combed it forward, then with the aid of some "product" (pomade, gel, whatever) crimped/folded it back so that it would appear to be growing from the front center of his scalp, so as to simulate one type of male pattern baldness in which the hairline recedes from each corner of the forehead. I believe that without this trick the front and crown of his scalp would have looked completely bald. I would have thought he could easily have afforded a good-quality toupée that would have looked more natural and been less trouble to maintain.

I did confirm that I didn't make the error myself, this is what my log shows, reversing the order of this show and the one with Julie London. I watched these recently but wasn't paying attention for clues that might indicate which show really came first. If anyone has any ideas, please chime in!
