Password - Betty White and Arlene Francis part 2/3

[Etheline]

Jeez - TATTOO - skin was very clever and I simply adore Betty - she is sooo bright! ROSE was such a genius hint when she was out of "normal" hints!!!

[Mike6E]

Betty White was playing Password just last night on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and the password was also "tattoo" - and the contestants had just as much trouble figuring it out!

[LisaDawnn]

Were people that dumb-downed? Really? It almost seems they didn't even use their imagination! I guess they were so very much programmed back then.If you watch more Password, you can see how more liberated people got.

This is very unusual....both celebrity players the same gender--and both "civilian" contestants cartoonists of well-known strips.

[msmunkietime]

Rose! lol How ironically prophetic for Betty to say!

[davidezell]

Betty cheated, but it was for charity :)

[CrazyWedz]

At 4:14, "I got it when she said rose". BS. It's easy to say that when the answer was already given.

What morons.

[wkyken]

It occurs to me that when "What's My Line?" needed that one male guest panelist, no one ever called Allen Ludden. I think he would have been a good one.

[wmlfan9]

Those two men heard ten clues among them drawing, skin, sailor, needle, and forearm. And they could not get tattoo!

[Bix12]

What a coupla dunces--you add forearm, drawing, skin, needle, rose, sailor--and you GOTTA get tattoo!!! But they weren't putting the previous clues together...obviously.

Boneheads.

[aktsig]

I cant understand what Betty says when Allen points out that the cartoonist spells his name as Allen as well. Any one else get it?

[iluvmuzamil]

Body ink may have been too forward. I just saw 'The Proposal', Betty White looks so gorgeous in here!

[dasenuff]

we should be able to air cigarrette commercials just as -planned parenthood commercials or condom commercials!

At 6:34, a Bristol-Myers "Bufferin" commercial originally appeared [they were the "alternate sponsor" of the show, with R.J. Reynolds], featuring none other than Arlene Francis endorsing it {another other famous actor appearing in their ads during this period was Joseph Cotten}. This is why Allen Ludden compliments her on "selling it" at 6:37.

[delightfulstar]

@fromthesidelines - Coincidentally, there's another connection in there (albeit indirectly related) besides the Bufferin...Miss Francis and Mr. Cotten had starred together on Broadway in the Martin Gabel-produced "Once More With Feeling," which ran in 1958-59.

[Muffy2314]

i suppose they could have said skin and ink or imprint.

[calalilygirl]

they would have been excellent clues

[Muffy2314]

you're right-not an easy word to get.

[ACuriousDanceretc]

When I was playing my home game of Password, one of the words was tattoo and no one could get it!! :)

[Indy7888]

haha it's a difficult word to get.
