Bennett wasn't the only one quick with a pun. Loved Fred's "channel" comment. I also like it when it's just a "regular" contestant (although I wouldn't exactly call Ms. Chadwick "regular"). It's fun to see the panel working towards the solution, as evidenced by Dorothy's explanation on how she arrived at the "line."
Thanx for posting this historic clip of a great athlete. Dorothy Kilgallen rules: she should inspire bright girls everywhere. Fred Allen performs brilliantly as well: his spontaneous comic wit still impresses 52 years after his death. WML's took years to figure out what to do with contestants with famous names but not famous faces: Early on Daly would, quite unnecessarily, blindfold the panel. This may be the 1st instance where someone (ALLEN) got the brainstorm to address such a person as X.
things were tough back in those days, now all you have to do is drive under it.
one question. how is swimming the english channel a "service"?

Dorothy her has that most appealing combo of stunning and adorable here; not a very common combo.
