Heston's characterization of Moses will always remain one of the greatest performances in the history of the cinema.

John Daly was such a class act.

Charlton Heston was one of the few great actors who had real, commanding 'presence'.

Charleston Heston- so very handsome! But his voice is undeniable, can’t mistake him for anyone else!

My father and I met Charlton Heston when he was in Dayton, Ohio campaigning for a president. A very nice man, he was. We had a photo taken with him which I have framed in my house. When referring to him, my father always called him Moses.

Again : Did you notice that Mr. Daly protects everyone from being embarrassed by a question or action & he does it with class & humor.

Ben Hur magnificent movie great actor gorgeous voice and a very attractive man R.I.P.

Ohh Charlton what a man, what a voice!!! one of a kind, i love that man!!!

I love Charlton's voice. It's so commanding. Great great actor too.

Charlton Heston played such bigger-than-life epic characters that it's somehow pleasantly surprising to see the real him so personable and chill

John Daly is not mailing it in--he is incredibly present and enjoying every minute of WML.

I recognise that iconic signature immediately, because Heston signed my programme right after narrating Peter and the Wolf at the Hollywood Bowl. After finding out that I was taking piano lessons at 7 years old, he wrote in my programme that he hoped to be in the audience when I played the Hollywood Bowl someday. He was awesome - he wouldn't let the stage manager chase the kids away, but took the time to talk to all of us and sign our programmes. I'm not an autograph hound but I'm glad I got that one way back in 1969.

I can't stop watching, John Daly is such a clever, polite emcee. We don't see that anymore

Both Arlene and Dorothy are dressed to perfection 👌

I like it when all the contestants, when they are finished get to walk over & shake hands with the panel. I think it shows respect to the contestants! ❤️

The way the ladies held their purses always fascinated me. I was born in 1955. As a child my mother gave me a little purse. I remember imitating the way the women held their purses. It strikes me as being very funny now.

Ahhhh... Charlton Heston. First celebrity crush I ever had. ❤️❤️❤️

Charlton Heston's signature matches him perfectly. Big and bold! oh my. x

One of my favorite actors all time.

Just watched Heston in Ben Hur the other nite. What a magnificent actor he was. A handsome, manly man and he led an exemplary life as an American.

To me Mr. Heston's rich bass-baritone speaking voice was unmistakable. How did this game go on so long?

That voice is unmistakable and just... wonderful. His wife was a very very blessed woman.

--Do you deal in services? --Yes, freed Israelites from Bondage.

John was in a quirky and fun and lively mood this evening! Charlton Heston is so handsome and charming, yet he has that "guy next door" look! :)

They don't make movie stars like him anymore!!!

wow, those dresses... so glamorous!

Thanks for posting the Charlton Heston episode! This TV show was so simple, but was still entertaining without a lot of frenetic activity or drama. The panelists, the visitors, John Daly, the studio audience, and the home audience all always had a good time, and did so without any fancy bells or whistles. One of the few pleasant memories from my early childhood was being in the room while my mother did chores while watching shows like What's My Line and the original Password. My older sister and I even had the password game. I got into reading a lot fairly early, so I was better at Password than my sister, but we both had fun with it. She probably remembers What's My Line better than I do, because she is a few years older than me. Yesterday the Mohammed Ali episode showed up in my KZfaq feed, so I had fun watching that one too. I love how the show mixed celebrities and non celebrities. It definitely made the show work very well.😃

They assumed the voice was NOT the real voice, that's why they didn't guess correct straight away.

Met charlton heston at a book signing here in dublin about 20 years ago nice guy

Heston's voice was a dead giveaway. I'm surprised no one guess right off the bat.

Charlton Heston.... great signature..... great actor!

Still miss Charlton Heston.

One of my All Time Favorite Artists.🎨

I had the great privilege of meeting Charlton Heston in the early 1990s. He was awesome! I still have his signed autobiography.

Please bring this concept back for a game. I love it & it would be a great game for the family to watch together.

One of the most attractive men in Hollywood, Mr.Charlton Heston, at a time when there were so many. So handsome and virile, very sexy.

what a wonderful guy and good actor mr Heston

I guess Heston wasn't nearly as famous at this time, that they couldn't recognize his voice. It would be unmistakable in a few years.

GREATEST ACTOR OF ALL TIME, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, BEN HUR, THE MOUNTAIN MEN AND PLANET OF THE APES 💖💯

i loved watching this program waaay back then as a kid .....and i love watching reruns now!

The Ten Commandments film was mentioned and then at around 20:36 Douglas Fairbanks Jr. asks the mystery guest if he was "in a very successful long-run play in New York that was made into a picture recently", to which a puzzled Charlton replies "No." The play/movie Doug Jr. was referring to was The King and I, starring Yul Brynner--who'd appeared in The Ten Commandments.

Are you in a picture called The Ten Commandments? "Yes' 'Oh, you're heaven in it!' These folks are so witty. Great stuff.

Damn what an athletic looking guy Charleston Heston was.

Miss the glamor, kindness, respect, class and, of course the wardrobe on WML- Didn't get to see it first time around- So happy and grateful for you posting these marvelous shows! Thank you!

Love to watch these old shows before all the b.s. we get today.

I was 3 years old when these shows 1st aired. This is like watching them for the 1st time. Thanks so much for posting them.

So many puzzled that the panel did not guess Heston sooner. Well, hindsight is 20-20. In 2019, we've experienced a lot more of Heston than they had in the 1950s.

I'm so excited that this is the very first time i see Douglas Fairbanks actually moving and talking because no matter how big i am as a movie fan, i never see any of Fairbanks' movies here in Indonesia since i was a kid. I can only find informations about him by reading his biography.

i love being able to go back in time and watch excellent television..

20th century. a privilege to be alive, educated, mannered, inquiring, and with values/morality, connecting the dots. thank you..

watching this today, in 2019, anyone wud be amazed they didn't get Charlton Heston the moment he opened his mouth.

One of the things i enjoy about viewing these as a look back (these were current programs when I was a child), is seeing the usually difficult ones for the panel to guess are ones that were rare forcwomen to work at that time in history.

Charlton Heston, an outstanding actor... loved him as Andrew Jackson in "The President's Lady" starring with Susan Hayward as Rachel Jackson.

This program is why I watch youtube.

As Daly and the panelist’s come I realised these people mixed in the company of celebrities and famous people which most of us can only ever dream about! What a fascinating life they must have led!

Imagine a time when television performers had so much respect for themselves and their viewers, they routinely wore tuxedoes and elegant evening gowns, even for half-hour game shows. Note the carefully framed and grammatically correct questions and comments; Miss Francis carrying her matching purse; Miss Kilgallen in her delicate gloves; Mr. Daly artfully expostulating on the content or syntax of a panelist's remark. I personally cannot get enough of WML.

I was 26 days old when this show was aired!

I think Dorothy is much more beautiful with darker hair. I love her voice and class.

YAAAY ! CHARLTON HESTON !!!!

Fairbanks what a dream boat

I love watching this at 59 years old

Heston was a true gentleman.

Thank you! It's nice to see my favorite, Doug, on here!

oh good grief....when he said he was in the 10 commandments, should have been a dead give away.

They have had so many worm raisers, I'm surprise the panel never got it.

Dorothy is good at this game.

So nice to see those days 🙏

Charlton Heston Legend for sure!!!!!! They don’t make men like that anymore!!!!!!

My refuge, my time capsule for a more civilized era (I never missed that Sunday night broadcast at 10:30 when I was a youngster! Then it was straight to bed, school the next day!)

I never realized how incredibly handsome Douglas Fairbanks Jr was until I saw him very young. Holy macaroni

Wow. Just wow.

3/16/21 Wow! 😃 The lovely lady that's a Ferry 🚢 Boat Pilot was from my hometown Vallejo, CA where I live! 🤗 (Northern California). I was born in 1966 and love these old shows! 👍🏾🙂

I loved him in El Cid. My favorite actor since I was a child.

He truly was one of my favorites.

Charlton Heston- Va Va Voom! 🎉🎉🎉 I think I have a new CRUSH! 😍😍😍

Glad to see the "big laugher" was in the audience again (e.g. 9:26). This guy was also in the audience for many of the Honeymooners shows

When the 10 Commandments movie was in our town my mother really wanted to see it ( I did too) but a terrible storm came up, the wind/rain and my father said we weren't going...my mother said she'd go without him. We all went. While in the theater you could hear the rain & all but after they introduced Mr. Heston all the rain stopped ! During this time the man who'd done the introduction made mention of the rain stopping and Mr. Heston stated that he had parted the Rea Sea. 🤗🤗🤗 was heard big time ! It was a thrill to see him in person and the movie was great too. My mother bought Mr. Heston's verstion of reading the Bible. I hope to see if they still make copies one day. May he rest in peace.

Women were so elegant and glamorously dressed back in the day! Well spoken and classy men and women. What went wrong?

Amazed that the panel didn’t guess him earlier. He made no effort to disguise his voice!

Douglas Fairbanks, Jr was a decorated Naval officer during WWll and was married to Joan Crawford when he was only 20 years old. You can learn so much by watching WML.

I recognized Chuck's voice right away. He was such a good actor someone should have told him try a new voice.

I don't know why a show like this would not work today..

$50. in 1953 had the same buying power of $436. in 2014.

Never realized what a likable fellow C. Heston once was.

oh me encantaba Charlton, muy guapo y gran actor

What a wonderful man. A perfect male role model.

I close my eyes every time before the line shows up so I can guess along

John Daly's opening comment about being called a "big bore" Bennett's punning on "boar" was furthered by Daly's "Boer". Daly was born in South Africa and the reference was to the Boers, the Dutch settlers who warred with the British in South Africa. Winston Churchill fought in that war.

My Favorite NRA President May he RIP

The Ten Commandments was released on Oct 5th of that year. Hestons true first big movie, so it is possible they did not know who he was.

Good grief....they should have guessed right away with that deep voice of his. Heston had a voice you couldn't disguise and he didn't even bother.

Arlene Frances dress was very beautiful

Douglas Fairbanks Jr.!!!

Watched it as a kid and still watching it today here on KZfaq.

Charlton Heston is gorgeous! I love seeing these stars as themselves.

Charlton Heston was a good looking man. I like that he waved to the audience.

When you talk about magnetic personality, Heston had it. I named my nephew after him.

Heston's voice is unmistakable but there are a couple of times I can see where a very deep, simple yes or no could possibly sound like Yul Brynner. It seemed that his deepest notes were hard for the panel to hear or distinguish.

Interesting aside by Mr. Daly, in his opening remarks, about his banter with Bennet Cerf concerning pigs and hogs and a "big Boer" . . .

Yes, Charlton Heston have a deep rich baritone voice. Very theatrical. He narrated the holiday classic animation movie titled, Noel. Also he voiced other animated biblical programs on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Charlton Heston have been in motion pictures since the late 1940s. He won an Academy Award for the 1968 science fiction movie titled The Planet of the Apes. He wasn't at the awards ceremony. In his place they had a chimpanzee came on the stage and accepted the award for him. Charlton Heston; "From My Cold Dead Hand !" 1924- 2004 RIP.
