Peter Lawford is a password genius. He practically screamed the word SKKKREECH! I would have said "yell". He came up with just the right word over and over again and did so with plenty of humor and charm.
Peter Lawford never ceases to amaze me. You think he's going to run out of time, then he comes up with the perfect clue. Definitely one of the best Password players ever.
He annoys the crap out of me. He knows exactly what he's going to say, but he sucks up all the camera time he can get. Every time Allen says 5 seconds, I wish they'd buzz him.
@@MichaelSimmons. He is dead, ya know? Your wish will never come true. He gave clues within the alotted time given and that's all that matters. Some people like to think before they speak, so as to not sound like a blubbering idiot. That is why he was so good, because he gave it thought and said the best clues he could think of.
1:45 Good to finally know the episode where Peter Lawford sets that remarkable Lightnight Round record! From what I've heard, there aren't any surviving archives of those daytime Password episodes, so it's very unfortunate that we won't be able to witness the feat for ourselves :(
So cool that as of this posting (of this comment) Barbara Rush is still living (93 years old! :-) One might wonder if she came from outer space! (that's a nod to her credits :-)
That one contestant reminded me both in attitude and a little bit in the face like Rosana Arquette. Her hairstyle reminded me of that one character in that movie Mars Attacks (and none of this is to disparage her, she was a cool contestant:-)
Just .Love the questions to contestants. To the male And what do you do for a living. To the female I know you're married so what does your husband do. Even for that time that is pretty sad. Could have asked each And what do you do with your time?...somethi g they could each answer about themselve.s
If she was single he did ask what do you do for a living ? Or what do you do in your spare time. Sometimes he would only ask a man what do you do in your spare time. And not ask about his job. Can you tell that I am hooked on watching these old episodes ???? Blessings from California. 🦉
You’re both a lot sharper than me. I’ve watched this episode (and others) a number of times in recent months, and yesterday was the first time it occurred to me that Ludden’s question might have been barbed. I knew Lawford was a part of the Rat Pack, but Rush naming off people in this film, almost all of whom I knew Lawford would have known well, was what finally alerted me that the question was actually a very awkward one, with Lawford sitting there. That and the fact that she stumbled slightly when she mentioned another person on the film named Peter. Maybe Ludden was taking revenge for all the times Lawford barely concealed his impatience with Ludden’s gooey stereotyped questions and responses to contestants. ‘Are you a working girl?’ My response would have been - Yes Allen you’ve found me out, I AM a high class prostitute. ‘A doctorate! Well you’re one pretty graduate student!’ Why thank you Allen! That remark makes all my arduous research work and studies at last feel worthwhile🙄 I actually really do like Ludden, and I know he had some very hard knocks in life, plus anyone who received the praise as a husband he did from a woman like Betty White, must have some exceptional qualities. But watching game shows like this one from the ‘60s makes the women’s movement much more understandable.
I truly think that on this game (Password) which almost always has at least one guest who has done a film (usually multiple) there really is no other 1st clue for "Award" then "Academy." End of story.
@@janetgraige8572 I think that could have easily been answered "Wilde" (or Hammerstein or Peterson, etc). However, if the person giving the clues stretched out the word "Academyyyyyyy..." at least where celebrities such as those on the show would be giving the answer, I think that might be a better chance at least for a first clue. Oscar could work down the line, after a couple other clues pointed in that direction, for sure.
That is the closest I ever saw of Allen Ludden almost losing his patience with anyone; in this case with Peter Lawford when he told him to "just play the game."
Ouch, a cringeworthy Password. Allen mentions Barbara's new film -- which Peter was supposed to be in (he was going to be Alan A. Dale, who was played by Bing Crosby), but he had a falling out with Sinatra before the film, and was no longer considered a "Rat Pack" member by Sinatra.
Sinatra had done a lot of campaigning for JFK which JFK liked & approved of. JFK was advised not to have anything to do w/Sinatra after Sinatra had built a wing for JFK. JFK didn't even call Sinatra to give him the back story of why he wasn't going to stay at his home. JFK instead stayed w/Bing Crosby a staunch Republican a slap in Sinatra's face. Sinatra took it out on Lawford and Lawford was no longer included in the rat pack movies & other perks. Sinatra never supported another Democrat again.
@@sandragailgoudelock1531 HI Apparently JFK was advised of bad association [ Giancano,. Mafia boss] staying at Sinatra's ranch at an earlier time. Would have been political suicide for JFK. during his presidential campaign. SHalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
@@richrol58 I just googled it and found out that there was something called "Hokum's House of Burlesque." Also found out through Wikipedia that it was a style of music which included sexual innuendos, etc. (I guess maybe hokum music was played with burlesque shows?).
So.. it's just a difference of one puny, meager letter.. (so why even mention this in the first place.. ...which i will just ignore and proceed to posit anyway.. 🤦♂️🤦♀️); it sure seems like I hear RICE.. Instead of RUSH.. ...During Opening Remarks and Greetings here.. 😐🤔

Many times he took 12 to 15 seconds. Get a damn buzzer !
@Brian Schienbein I think it was tied
Peter Lawford is amazing at password as he is in any roll he can adopt. Give the man his due! Including his dashing good looks
Peter lawford was great at this!
Agree! And he always seemed so pleasant. A pleasure to watch him play.
@@m.e.d.7997And he has great dimples and a lovely, genuine smile
THESE SHOWS ARE SPECTACULAR... SUCH A JOY!

This show makes me happy
Awesome. Thank you for the info on Barbara.
Holy cow, that Barbara Rush is certifiably drop dead gorgeous.
She’s still with us, 93 in 2020.

As She Still is Today, as of this posting; A Wonderful, Beautiful, and VERY.. Very Special Ninety-Five🧸🎨🧸😊☺️☺️☺️😊☺️
Barbara Rush is STILL ALIVE in 2021 at the age of 94!
She is currently alive at ninty five ! Amazing. 🦉

☺️😊👏🎨🧸
She was not very good at this game, but she does seem to be a nice person. Glad she's still living.
And now at 97!!!
Dead at 97
That laugh of Barbara's! Oh boy!

Barbara was a very beautiful woman ❤️
Peter and Judy we're wonderful together. Judy was as good as Peter.
His first partner Patty was also a very sharp player!

Thank you very much, it's a real pleasure)
The sadness on Lawford’s face is understandable being it was only 6 months after his brother in law JFK was killed.
Just .Love the questions to contestants. To the male And what do you do for a living. To the female I know you're married so what does your husband do. Even for that time that is pretty sad.

Awkward because Lawford was supposed to be in the 7 Hoods until he fell out with Sinatra and was replaced by Bing Crosby!
I noticed that too.

It did not take much for Sinatra to fall out with people.
@@m.e.d.7997 you’re not wrong there. Beautiful voice, but not the nicest person by any means.
@@alexrafe2590 Well said.loved his voice. Sinatra fell out with quite a few people.

Barbara Rush was a venerable player.
To teenie beenie: Yes Allen did say (hi doll) Allen was saying that to his mother in law tess white whom was his wife's Betty's mother.
That is the closest I ever saw of Allen Ludden almost losing his patience with anyone; in this case with Peter Lawford when he told him to "just play the game."
I think it was all in good humor.

@@sandragailgoudelock1531 Sad thing it was never Peter Lawfords fault.
Yes, I winced - particularly after Ludden asked her to go through the entire cast. It seemed very strangely and deliberately cruel to Lawford.
Had to still be tough for Lawford all around. His wife Pat and the Kennedys lost JFK just 6 months before this show aired.
@@sandragailgoudelock1531 HI
Apparently JFK was advised of bad association [ Giancano,. Mafia boss] staying at Sinatra's ranch at an earlier time. Would have been political suicide for JFK. during his presidential campaign. SHalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
Clandestine was excellent clue
Note: all contestants are from CA.
The Accountant gets the applause,but not the MOTHER?Why not applause for BOTH?A MOTHER WORKS 24/7,365 DAYS A YEAR.
A mother? LOADS of mothers watching.and an audience back then doesn't applaud itself. Now they would.
Were proper names always allowed as clues??
I believe so , but it would never be a Password !
does Ludden say 'hi doll' at the beginning of ev show?
Brian Schienbein Mother-in-law.
looooove ms rush!
Bern Bennett is the announcer.
19:55 mark .... what Michael Jackson was aiming for!!!!
Wasn't the hula hoop popular in the'60s? Allen is talking like it was a 30s fad
No, mid to late 50s.
Barbara Rush looks like a pretty version of Nancy Reagan.
I actually really don't know what "Banana" has to do with "Burlesque" (unless you're in Amsterdam?). Truly I don't know.
The lead in a Burlesque show was referred to as the "Top Banana."
@@maryspencer4975 did not know that. Probably would have known that if I were 59 years old in 1964 :-)
How about the word that solved it for her--"hokum??" How does that get you to to burlesque??
@@maryspencer4975 Oh! Okay, thanks :-)

peter acted like he was high
and/or drunk...
2 reasons too much cough syrup (sick) 2nd he lost his brother in law
Lawford looks like he was out all night and morning
Acts like it, too...
Rendezvous = assignation
Barbara must have a wig on the way she's touching her head

And the password is "Intense"
I hate to be catty but Barbara wore that same outfit w/ a ghastly mink hat with Hugh O'brian.
Hey, she's thrifty. lol.
Did she pinch her face up with Hugh too?
That's not catty, that's pathological...
Slide
Peter Lawford always cheating. Psh.
When did he cheat?
Yeah when?
Lawford was well known for his heavy drinking - comes through here
