10:02and taking home this fabulous prize as well. It's a brand new
10:06car. It's the new Chevy Chevette four-door hatchback. The new rear doors make it easy to get into the back seat
10:13where you'll find lots of leg room. The Chevette four-door hatchback has the
10:17comfort and convenience you want in a small car
10:19furnished by Chevy Chevette for a prize package totaling
10:22$5,000. Alright, score 400 to 100 Frank Dillon it's your spin
10:28and you have French literature
10:31Joker and food and drink. I'm going to try French literature
10:38for a hundred points. Okay answer correctly you will have 500 points and
10:41you will have enough to win the first game but of course
10:44Tom Kuzmic gets his final spin. Edmund Rostand created a romantic
10:49swashbuckler who was noted for having a very large nose
10:52for 500 points what is that character's name?
10:55Cyrano de Bergerac. Right, you have 500 points.
11:03Tom Kuzmic, under the rules of our game there's only one way you could catch him
11:06that is to get three jokers
11:08in which case we'd have a tie and we'd go on and play some more. If anything appears in the
11:12windows
11:12other than jokers you have lost the first game
11:15and Frank has won the first. Spin and good luck.
11:18Nope, can't do it.
11:22You have won the first game, Frank Dillon, congratulations.
11:33Congratulations Frank Dillon you've got game number one
11:36game number two coming up. Incidentally Frank Dillon I should repeat that if you
11:41should win this next game
11:42I know a lot of people are going to be very very happy because you have pledged
11:46you would contribute the twenty five thousand dollars at least
11:48to the American Cancer Society and as far as you Tom Kuzmic a lot of your friends are
11:52rooting because
11:53you have millions and millions of admirers because of your great interest in
11:57sports
11:58and horse racing. May I show you both now the categories that will be used in the
12:02second game
12:03here they are. The categories are Rebels and Rebellions, award-winning films,
12:07Composers, followed by Games
12:11and finally Best Sellers. In order to win the fifty thousand dollars Frank Dillon
12:17you must win this game
12:18or at least that's one of the ways. In order to stop him
12:21you must win it. This is do or die for you Tom Kuzmic.
12:25You won the right to go first, Frank Dillon, spin
12:29and good luck. Composers,
12:32Joker and a triple.
12:40Jack, composers for 200 points. At the age of 13
12:43this composer served as concertmeister of the Salzburg Cathedral.
12:47His works include over 40 symphonies and the opera is the Magic Flute
12:51and the Marriage of Figaro. For 200 points
12:54name the composer. Mozart. Mozart is right, you have 200 points.
13:02Tom Kuzmic, your spin in the second game. Composer,
13:07Rebels and Rebellions and Games. Jack, we'll try Rebels and Rebellions for fifty
13:12points please.
13:13Name the 20th century leader of the Mexican Revolution whose main objective
13:17was to return land to the peasants of Mexico.
13:20Guevara. No, that is not right.
13:24You'll pick up 50 points more, Frank Dillon, can you tell me?
13:27Zapata. Zapata is right, you are at 250 points.
13:33Halfway to winning fifty thousand dollars. Your spin, Frank.
13:38Rebels and Rebellions, Joker and another triple.
13:47Jack, I am going to take
13:50the two Jokers and I'm going to go off the board
13:54for award-winning films. Alright, that is your privilege to do.
13:58Here is a 100 point question. The best picture of 1973
14:03tells how con artists Henry Gondorf
14:07and Johnny Hooker made sport of New York racketeer Doyle Lonegan.
14:11Name this 1973 winner. The Sting. Right, you are at 350 points.
14:20Tom Kuzmic, your spin. Games, award-winning films
14:27and a Joker. Jack, we'll try award-winning films for 100 points please.
14:31Ernest Borgnine won the best actor of the year award in 1955 for his portrayal of a
14:36Bronx butcher
14:37who falls in love. This film also won the award for best picture of 1955.
14:41Name that movie. Marty. That is correct, you have 100 points.
14:46Gore, 350 to 100. Frank Dillon.
14:49Best-sellers, a pair,
14:53award-winning films. I'm going to try best-sellers for 100 points.
15:00Correct answer would give you 450 points, 50 points shy of winning
15:05$50,000 in cash and prizes. Name the doctor
15:10who wrote the best-seller entitled Everything You've Always Wanted to Know
15:13About Sex
15:14But Were Afraid to Ask.
15:19Dr. Rubin. Right, Dr. David Rubin. You have 450 points.
15:27You are 50 points short of winning $50,000.
15:30Tom Kuzmic, you need a fantastic spin now.
15:35Joker, Joker!
15:38Award-winning films.
15:42Well, Jack, under the circumstances I think we'll take award-winning films for 200
15:52points please. Correct answer would bring you up to 300 points.
15:55The Best Picture of 1953 won
15:58eight Academy Awards. This movie starred Burt Lancaster and Deborah Carr
16:03and is set in Honolulu just before Pearl Harbor.
16:06For a total of 300 points, name the film.
16:10From Here to Eternity. You have 300 points.
16:15The score is 450 to 300. Frank, you are away by 50 points from winning $50,000.
16:22Spin. Joker,
16:26award-winning films and a triple. Jack,
16:33I'm going to take award-winning films for 50.
16:37Using the Joker, you are permitted to do that.
16:41You are not permitted to split them, but you are taking
16:45the Joker and making it into award-winning films for 50.
16:48If you answer this correctly, you will have 500 points.
16:52Enough to win $50,000 provided Tom Kuzmic cannot catch you.
16:56Here is the question for 50 points.
17:01This Oscar-winning film of 1969 starred Dustin Hoffman and John Voight
17:05and focused on the adventures of the characters Ratso Rizzo and Joe Buck.
17:10For 500 points, which could win you $50,000,
17:15name the film. Midnight Cowboy. You've got it!
17:31Before we proceed, we have the 300 back there.
17:34Someone took the 300 off your score, Tom. You're not out of this game yet.
17:37You have 300 points. You must, however, get a triple to tie him.
17:41You must get three Jokers. You need something desperately.
17:44If anything appears in those windows other than three Jokers or a triple,
17:49this contest, this tournament is over.
17:52You will be the runner-up, and Frank Dillon will go back to his Cleveland
17:58with $50,000, $25,000 of which is pledged to the American Cancer Society.
18:04Good luck. Hope for a triple.
18:10Rebels, two, three!
18:33I don't mean this to sound ridiculous, but for getting a natural triple,
18:36you just want a Zales gift certificate,
18:40which is a very fine thing to have, I'm sure.
18:43However, more important for you is the fact that this is a 200-point opportunity,
18:47and if you can answer this question, it will be a tie game, 500 apiece.
18:52If you miss this question, Frank Dillon wins $50,000.
18:57His fate and your fate are in your hands.
19:01Here it is.
19:04In 1916, Patrick Pierce, P-E-A-R-S-E, led a rebellion in Ireland
19:11which began on a religious holiday and whose goal was independence from Britain.
19:17For 500 points and a tie game, or $50,000 for Frank Dillon,
19:22on what religious holiday did this rebellion begin?
19:27St. Patrick's Day?
19:30The answer is...
19:33Easter! Frank, you win $50,000!
19:36Come on out, everybody!
19:58Come on out, everybody! Everybody, come out!
20:01Who's ever left?
20:04What a moment! What a moment! And I thought for a moment we had a tie game.
20:08My congratulations to Frank Dillon, who never wavered for one moment.
20:12He came down here and said, you know, the first time that I won on The Joker's Wild,
20:16I set up a foundation which enabled youngsters to go to college.
20:20And indeed, for many years now, from the money that he won on The Joker's Wild originally,
20:25a number of youngsters have had an opportunity to go to college because of him.
20:29And now he has pledged this amount to the American Cancer Society.
20:32That's what I call a real winner. Congratulations, Frank.
20:42And you're not a loser by a long shot. You played terrifically well.
20:47And as a fellow who's been around the racetrack so long,
20:50you know how did people snatch victory and defeat in just seconds.
20:53You do it all the time. You get a beautiful automobile,
20:56and you get that marvelous trip to Switzerland,
20:59I'm well told, over $5,000 worth of prizes.
21:02And between you and these runner-ups, Steve and Amy,
21:06I'm going to tell you, ask you all, if you go backstage and let me be alone here with Frank for a little while,
21:10because this is a great moment in his life.
21:12A big hand for all these people, and especially for Tom Kuznick.
21:15Congratulations, Tom.
21:17Come on out here with me, Frank.
21:24Frank, you came here to the city of Los Angeles a week or so ago
21:29in an effort to win this $50,000, which you've now done.
21:34You are a schoolteacher in the Cleveland area.
21:37What school do you teach specifically?
21:39I teach at South High, and they don't know I'm here, Jack.
21:43Uh-huh.
21:45They're going to know now.
21:46Oh, they sure are.
21:48I took sick leave.
21:53He took sick leave, and he made 15 other people very sick.
21:57Frank, there's one very important thing we have not done yet,
22:00and that is to give you the money.
22:02We have a Pinkerton agent right here on the premises,
22:05and we do have the money, which we're going to give to you,
22:08and we will see to it that it's safeguarded so that when you leave here,
22:11it will be very well taken care of.
22:13Come out, please.
22:14Lloyd, thank you very much, and give me this.
22:16Thank you so much, Lloyd.
22:17Here is your money.
22:19I'm going to count it out for you.
22:23We have $1,000 bills, ladies and gentlemen,
22:26in case any of you have never seen a $1,000 bill.
22:29Here is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,
22:4414, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, $25,000.
22:58Thank you, sir.
23:00Thank you, sir.
23:06This man is just shaking like a leaf,
23:09and look at the thousands are shaking all over.
23:13You know, Jack, there are a couple of things I really would like to say.
23:16Go ahead, please do.
23:18I don't want to sound maudlin or trite,
23:23but since I was a young boy from radio days,
23:29I always wanted to be a national champion.
23:32There was take it or leave it, double or nothing,
23:35Phil Baker's $64 question,
23:37and I envisioned myself being there one day.
23:40So that was a dream like Martin Luther King had.
23:43I had a dream, and it all came true tonight.
23:46That was one thing, and number two, the money for the cancer fund.
23:50My whole family has been decimated by cancer,
23:53and I cannot think of a better place that that money could go, really.
23:59Neither can I.
24:00Well said, Frank Gillis.
24:10Standing ovation for my audience.
24:15And a well-deserved one, too.
24:21We've got it on their TV here for Frank Gillis,
24:24who is indeed a national champion.
24:26Frank, do you think you have the strength
24:32to relive the exact moment when you answered that question
24:35which won you the $50,000 in cash and prizes?
24:38I don't know, really.
24:39You're going to see it right now.
24:40I want you to take a look at the monitor right over there.
24:42See it right there in front of you?
24:44We're going to show you the moment coming up right now
24:46which you just won the $50,000.
24:49If you miss this question, Frank Dillon wins $50,000.
24:54His fate and your fate are in your hands.
24:58Here it is.
25:00In 1916, Patrick Pierce, P-E-A-R-S-E,
25:06led a rebellion in Ireland which began on a religious holiday
25:10and whose goal was independence from Britain.
25:14For 500 points and a tie game, or $50,000 for Frank Dillon,
25:19on what religious holiday did this rebellion begin?
25:24St. Patrick's Day?
25:27The answer is Easter.
25:30Frank, you win $50,000.
25:57Now that's a moment you should never, ever forget.
25:59I'm sure you never will the rest of your life.
26:01I never will.
26:02And I will never, never forget Barry Enright Productions,
26:06the staff, and all these wonderful people.
26:08Frank, stay with me just one moment.
26:10As usual, even in a moment like this,
26:12stations all across the country have to make some money,
26:14and we're going to give them a chance to do that now
26:16with this important commercial,
26:17and then we'll be right back with our great champion.
26:27Because hard working...
26:30Thank you very much.
26:31The tournament is over,
26:33and our deep gratitude to all the contestants
26:37who participated with us, were so cooperative,
26:40to all the backstage people
26:41who helped us make this gigantic effort so very worthwhile,
26:44and our total congratulations to the fellow who pulled it off,
26:48beating 15 other players and winning $50,000.
