    Palance was one of those rare performers who appeared on WML in the 50s, the 60s, the 70s. And he was one of those rare performers who got better with age. Whoever thought to cast him in "Believe it or Not" was a genius. And he earned his Oscar late in his career, not early.

      Please don't perpetuate this Studio press-agent fiction. Palance himself denied the truth of it. He never saw combat in WW2. Though he trained as a B-24 pilot, the crash that scarred his face occurred during a training flight over Arizona. His post-war career as a boxer furthered the disfigurement.

    At around 11:00, Bennett references Irving "Swifty" Lazar. Lazar was a superagent in film and books, representing everyone from Humphrey Bogart to Cary Grant to Grace Kelly to Richard Nixon. A not very disguised version of him was a character in the Broadway show, "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" The actor who played the Lazar character on Broadway was Martin Gable

    How many TV hosts today, on hearing the question, "Ma dov'è questa città, Filadelfia?," could respond "Sud," as John Daly did? Of course he was a war correspondent in Italy for a time in 1943, but the fact is he heard the question, in Italian, Where is this city, Philadelphia, he understood it, and he was able to answer it, a little imperfectly, but adequately. (He also understood very well indeed Peter Lawford's fine French.) Contrary to his protestations, Jack Palance's Italian was not at all bad; not perfect, but not bad by any means. I lived in Italy for more than 15 years and I remember being quite amazed at the number of stars who passed through (most from this TV era, however) who spoke very decent Italian, something you never would have known if you saw them only in the US.

      If the panel had understood Italian they could have saved a question; after answering that he wasn't in a movie that was then playing in New York, he volunteered "but in a few weeks, yes" which they didn't catch, and had to ask later.

    Jack Palance was a great actor when menace and brutality were called for. He was brilliant in the film: ‘Sign of the Pagan.’ Although he often played the tough villain, such as the gunslinger, ‘Wilson,’ in ‘Shane,’ he could also play patriotic, heroic parts as in the film, ‘Attack.’ I would like to have seen Jack Palance do more theatre work.

    • @kenchristie9214

The first guy said "I don't have much to do with them the first year, they only cry and fill up diapers" the next two guys said "ditto" Jack Palance told them "boy are you missing out, you hold them and cuddle them and coo at them and one day they look up at you and they smile, and they are smiling at you, it is the most wonderful thing in the world.!" After that my mom thought Jack Palance was alright.

    "The Greatest Show on Earth" was a "one-season wonder"; it ran for 30 hour-long episodes on ABC during the 1963-1964 season. Jack Palance starred as Johnny Slate, who ran a traveling circus, and Stuart Erwin co-starred as Otto King, the circus's accountant.
    The 1963 film "Contempt" (original title: "Le mepris") was a French-Italian co-production, directed by Jean-Luc Godard (based on a novel by Alberto Moravia), but it was, indeed, shot entirely in Italy (in Rome and on the Isle of Capri). The five featured cast members are Brigitte Bardot, Michel Piccoli, Jack Palance, Giorgia Moll, and Fritz Lang (who plays himself). The film's original running time was 103 minutes, but it was later cut and re-edited down to 82 minutes.
    Jack Palance would return to series television in the mid-1970s, starring as Lt. Alex Bronkov, an Ocean City (California) police detective, on "Bronk," which ran for 25 hour-long episodes on CBS in the 1975-76 season. The series was created by Carroll O'Connor and Ed Waters. Palance's co-stars on the show were Henry Beckman, Tony King, Joseph Mascolo, and Dina Ousley (who played Bronk's crippled daughter, Ellen).

      I appreciate your insightful observation about Bennett Cerf. I feel like a lot of his puns are contrived in order to get attention, including an "ongoing" effort to steal the show from John Daly. I don't think Bennett is funny; and most of his puns seem rather far-reaching in trying to make that humorous connection to a specific reference work in a humorous way.

Television of that era was totally different in comparison, and if you would have seen two men or two-women kissing or having sex (like we see today) the entire network would have received huge fines and possibly even had the series pulled off the air.

Hispanic male bullfighter would not be that unusual, especially if from a country where bullfighting was known to take place or at least near the U.S. border with Mexico. Any woman bullfighter would be unusual. Any non-Hispanic male bullfighter would be unusual, especially if from areas not near the Mexican border.
