00:00This is the talented star of stage and screen, young and beautiful Jane Fonda.
00:14Thank you, and this is my partner Chester Kimball from Woodbury, New Jersey.
00:18This is the distinguished film star of Two Continents, James Mason.
00:23Hello, and this is my partner, Noreen Richtenwald of Jackson Heights.
00:27And now we are all assembled to play the game Password.
00:35Yes, it's Password, brought to you this evening by Bissell, famous for carpet care.
00:41Now you can do it yourself. Carpets and rugs come really clean the Bissell way.
00:48And now here's your host on Password, Alan Ludden.
00:58Good evening. Thank you.
01:02Very nice to have you with us to play Password. How are you, James Mason?
01:05I'm very well, thank you very much.
01:06Fine, good to see you. Jane Fonda.
01:09Hello.
01:10You are a busy movie star these days. What's the movie that's currently in release?
01:14Well, Walk on the Wild Side is playing in town right now at the Criterion.
01:17Then you've already finished another one?
01:19Yes, I've finished Chapman Report, and I'm about to do Period of Adjustment.
01:22And when are you coming back to Broadway?
01:24In the fall, thank heaven.
01:26Oh, we'll be glad to have you back. Now, Jane Fonda, this gentleman here on your right, Chester Kimball by name.
01:32Let's see, Chester, what do you do for a living?
01:34I'm a credit manager, Alan, for a firm that manufactures automobile body parts, instruments, and railway cars.
01:42Good. How do you play Password?
01:44Bad.
01:45How do you play?
01:46Poorly.
01:47Oh, no, you play very well.
01:48No, no, no.
01:49Very well, that's good.
01:50Very well.
01:51Good to have you here. James Mason, sir. Nice to have you to play Password with us tonight.
01:55Thank you very much.
01:56Have you assembled here to play our game of Password?
01:58I love the way you kind of patted your part there at the beginning of the show.
02:02James Mason, what brings you to New York right now?
02:05I'm rehearsing for a television rendition of Rebecca. You remember Rebecca?
02:09Yes, and you're going to play?
02:11Max de Winter.
02:13Max de Winter, no less.
02:14Oh, boy.
02:15What about your movies? Is there a movie coming out that we can look forward to?
02:18There's one coming out in, I think, June, the celebrated Lolita, which you may have heard.
02:24Very good. Everybody's looking forward to seeing what that movie version seems like, and with you in it, it should be very exciting.
02:30Now, this lady here, Noreen Rechtenwald, did I say that right?
02:34Oh, you did. Congratulations.
02:36Oh, thank you. Noreen, it's good to have you here. Are you married?
02:39Yes, I am. I've been married seven years to a draftsman, and we have a little boy who's nine months old.
02:44Very good. I hope he's going to watch us play Password.
02:47I hope so, too.
02:48All right. Let's play it. I'll tell you how we do it. I give a copy of the Password here to Jane Fonda.
02:54Now, the very same Password goes to James Mason, and while they look at it, we'd like you folks at home to take a look at it.
03:00The Password is Sandwich.
03:03Now, everybody knows the Password except Jane's partner, Chester Kimball, and James Mason's partner, Noreen Rechtenwald.
03:11We're going to keep the word up on the screen while I explain the object of our game, which is very simple.
03:15You see, using only one word clues, Jane, you're going to make your partner say the Password.
03:19And James Mason, your object is the same. Make the partner say the Password.
03:23And the team that gets it first is the one that scores. All right, Jane, we'll start with you.
03:27Snack.
03:28What? You're ready to go. The first clue's worth 10 points. What is it?
03:30Snack.
03:31Meal.
03:32Snack. Meal. I like your attitude, Jane. You're right in there. Nine points, James Mason.
03:37Dagwood.
03:38Sandwich.
03:39Sandwich is the word.
03:47Dagwood is a very American clue, you know. That's very good.
03:51Thank God he's thinking that way.
03:53That's very good. Now, the score stands. Nothing for Jane's team. Nine for James Mason's team.
03:57The first team to score 25 points wins the game, which is worth $250, and a chance to win even more money in the lightning round,
04:04which you know is kind of a hectic race against the clock.
04:06All right, let's see what's going to happen this time. I'm going to give the Password now to Chester and to Noreen,
04:12and as they study it, you study it at home, please.
04:15The Password is laundry.
04:18You got it, Noreen?
04:19All right, first clue's Chester's, worth 10 points.
04:26Clothes.
04:29Jacket.
04:30Clothes, jacket. No, nine points, Noreen.
04:33Chinese.
04:37What do you call them? Mandarin.
04:41Mandarin, no. Very good, but not right. Eight points, Chester.
04:46Dirty.
04:49Rags.
04:50Dirty, rags. Seven points, Noreen.
04:52Wash.
04:53Laundry.
04:54Laundry.
05:03Are you having fun, Noreen?
05:05I'm having a ball.
05:06You're having a ball? I couldn't tell, I couldn't tell.
05:08By the way, when you hear this sound, it means that your clue has not been accepted by our authority,
05:14Dr. Reason A. Goodwin, an editor of the forthcoming World Book Encyclopedia Dictionary.
05:18I hope you don't hear that sound, but if you do, you know what it means.
05:21All right, I'll give a brand new Password now to Jane Fonda, to James Mason, and as they look at it, you look at it.
05:29The Password is spat.
05:31All right, Jane, first clue's yours, worth 10 points.
05:34Spitted.
05:40Spat.
05:41Yes!
05:51That's what you call method playing. What was that clue again?
05:56Spitted.
05:57The past tense of spit, huh? Very good, very good.
06:02Well, you coin a word and win the game, I guess.
06:04The score stands 10 to 16, and I give the Password to Chester and Noreen, and as they look at it, you look at it.
06:11The Password is barn.
06:13All right, Noreen, first clue's worth 10 points, could give you the game.
06:17Silo.
06:19Wheat.
06:20Silo, wheat. Logical, not right. Nine points, Chester.

06:44Granary, no. Seven points, Chester.
06:47Building.
06:52Bin.
06:53Bin, no. Six points, Chester.
06:57Bin.
06:58Bin, no. Six points, Noreen.
07:01Bean.
07:05Barn.
07:06Barn.
07:17Oh, this is gonna be a wild one, isn't it?
07:21Jane, I must explain one thing. I have to take the first word, Jane.
07:25What?
07:26I have to take the first word you say, you know that.
07:28Yeah, I just realized.
07:30All right, so the score stands 10 to 22, and anything can and probably will happen.
07:35Here we go.
07:36I'll give the Password this time to Jane Fonda, James Mason, and as they look at it, you look at it.
07:41The Password is blackmail.
07:44All right, Jane Fonda, first clue's 10 points, it's yours.

14:53All right, let's start the game.
14:54I'll give the brand new password to Jane Fonda and James Mason.
14:57And as they study it, you study it at home.
14:59The password is debate.

15:32You're out to win, aren't you?
15:33Well, but it doesn't look that way.
15:34Jane, even now.
15:35Here we go.
15:36We'll see what happens this time.
15:37I'll give it the password.
15:38Debate.

16:04Ham.
16:05Ham.
16:06Oh, gracious.
16:07That was so good.
16:08It was very kind of him to say vaudevillian, wasn't it?
16:09He avoided the word actor assiduously.
16:10All right.
16:11Let's see.
16:12We have nothing for Jane's team.
16:1317 for James Mason's team.
16:14But anything could happen, Jane, as I'll give a brand new password to you and James Mason.

16:54Hammerstein.
16:56Lyrical.
16:57All right.
16:58Roughly, Noreen, you have given me a form of the word we're seeking.
17:03One chance to give me the precise word.
17:05That's it.
17:06That's a very good clue, Jane.
17:11That was a marvelous clue.
17:14That was terrific.
17:16We'll continue our game in a moment, but you, no busy feet, make dirty rugs.
17:22Now, here's what you can do about that.
17:25All right.
17:26The score stands now eight for the ladies, 17 for the gentlemen, and the password, a
17:30brand new password, goes to Noreen and Chester Kimball.
17:33And as they look at it, you look at it at home.
17:35The password is menu.
17:37All right.
17:38Chester, the first clue's worth 10 points, could give you the game.
17:45Table de hote.
17:47Table de hote.
17:48Table.
17:49Oh.
17:50Sorry, that is not allowed for the obvious reason that it's really three words.
17:52All right.
17:53Here we go.
17:54Nine points, Noreen.
17:55Restaurant.
17:57What did he say?
17:58I don't blame you.
18:02She said restaurant.

18:45All right.
18:46It is.
18:47Two words, I think.
18:48But anyway, it was ruled out by our judge.
18:50Now, we have a score of eight for the ladies, 23 for the gentlemen.
18:54Oh, God.
18:55Anything can happen.
18:56We're good.
18:57Jane, don't let them.
18:58Nothing to it, you say?
18:59You watch.
19:00All right, here we go.
19:01Password goes to Jane Fonda.
19:02James Mason, as they look at it, you look at it.
19:05The password is toupee.
19:08Perfectly all right.
19:1010 points, Jane.
19:12Hairpiece.
19:13Sorry, not allowed.
19:14It's hyphenated, isn't it?
19:15It's a hyphenated word.
19:16It's not allowed.
19:17Nine points, James Mason.
19:19Wiglet.
19:21Toupee.

19:29Thank you.
19:30Wiglet.
19:31All right.
19:32I feel good too, Chester.
