00:00This is one of the great stars of motion pictures and Academy Award winner Joan Crawford.
00:15And this is my partner, James Kelly Jr. from Montclair, New Jersey.
00:19This is the gifted actor and star of the Broadway stage and Hollywood, Barry Nelson.
00:25Hello, this is my partner, Marbeth Paulson from Groton, Connecticut.
00:29And we're all here to play Password.
00:33Yes, it's Password, brought to you this evening by the new Polaroid automatic camera for finished
00:47pictures in 10 seconds.
00:50And now, here's your host on Password, Alan Ludden.
00:55Good evening, nice to have you with us.
01:04Barry and Joan Crawford, what a privilege to have you play Password with us.
01:10I'm not sure I'm going to play it very well.
01:11You're going to play it just fine.
01:12You know, I want to tell you, I saw your movie, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
01:15And you gave me one of the best and worst nights of my life.
01:19I thought I'd never get over it.
01:20Halloween came early.
01:21Oh, what a movie.
01:22What a performance.
01:23Really, it's a really an experience.
01:27And I understand you've got another film that we'll be looking forward to in a moment.
01:30Yes, it's called Caretakers, and I think you will see it in January or the 1st of February.
01:35And you have a wonderful part in that, The Caretaker, Joan Crawford.
01:42Now, Miss Crawford, your first partner tonight is Jim Kelly.
01:46Jim, what do you do for a living, sir?
01:48I'm in the insurance business, Alan, in Montclair, New Jersey.
01:50Good to have you play Password.
01:52Barry, on your way to Hollywood, huh?
01:55Yes, yes.
01:56You're going to do the same part you did in Mary, Mary on Broadway in the film?
01:59Well, you know, you're getting a rut.
02:00Boy, I tell you, all of us who saw you on Broadway are delighted you're doing it in
02:04the film.
02:05It's very generous of you.
02:06He's wonderful.
02:07Isn't he wonderful?
02:08Yes.
02:09Thank you very much.
02:10The whole country can look forward to one of the really great performances.
02:11Well, I'm not in an argumentative mood, so.
02:13I'm glad you're back playing Password, Barry.
02:15Now, Miss Crawford, your first partner tonight is Marbeth Paulson.
02:17Marbeth, do you have a family?
02:19Yes, I do, Alan.
02:20I'm married to a naval officer, and I have a little girl six months old.
02:24And they're both lucky, because you're very pretty, and good to have you play Password.
02:27You know how we play it?
02:28It's a game of word communication, where you try to make your partner say the password
02:31using one word clues, and the team that gets it first is the one that scores.
02:34Oh, that's it.
02:35That's the game you're here for.
02:36It's not to tell the truth.
02:38All right.
02:39The first password goes tonight to Joan Crawford, very same word, to Barry Nelson, and as they
02:44look at it, of course, we want you at home to see it.
02:46The password is train.
02:47All right, Miss Crawford, 10 points.
02:48Choo-choo?
02:49Train.
02:50Train.
02:51All right.
02:52You got 10 points.
02:53First team that scores 25 points goes on to the lightning round, which is kind of a fast
03:04way to earn 250 more points.
03:0625 points is the game, $250 for the game.
03:09All right.
03:1010 to nothing.
03:11All right.
03:12We're going to go to Marbeth, Jim Kelly, as they look at it.
03:15The password is pyramid.
03:16Start with you, Marbeth, 10 points.

03:34Marbeth?

03:36Pyramid.
03:37Pyramid.
03:38Triangular.
03:39Triangular was a good clue.
03:40Yeah.
03:41By the way, I want to explain one more thing.
03:42When you hear this sound, it means that your clue has not been accepted by our authority,
03:43who is Dr. Reason A. Goodwin, an editor of the forthcoming World Book Encyclopedia Dictionary.
03:44The score stands 10 for Joan Crawford's team, 8 for Barry Nelson's.
03:45The password goes this time to Joan Crawford, Barry Nelson, and you at home.
03:46The password is sip.
03:47Well, good luck.

04:39Very good.
04:40So, it's 17 to 10.
04:41Password this time to Jim.
04:42Marbeth.
04:47The password is web.
04:48All right, Jim, see if you can get Joan Crawford

04:56You did it.
04:58I said two words, but I did.
05:00No, you didn't.
05:01You said web.
05:02One word.
05:03He didn't say word.
05:04He didn't say spiders.
05:05I did.
05:06No.
05:07All right.
05:08You've got 20 points to 17.
05:09You see what a simple game it is?
05:12I better not talk.
05:14We'll just keep going.
05:1520 to 17.
05:16Password to Barry Nelson and to Joan Crawford.
05:19The password is wharf.
05:21All right.
05:22This word could do it.
05:24You could make it in the first word, Barry.
05:26I'd like you to try.

07:43All right, that first fish she wanted you to get was a whale with the spout, and the
07:51last for the sport was ski, but let's see what you have there, Jim.
07:53$250 for the game, $150 for the lightning round.
07:56Jim Kelley has $400.
07:57Marbeth, for you and your family, you have a World Book Encyclopedia, and you both have
08:07our great thanks for playing password with us so well.
08:09Goodbye to you both, and thank you.
08:12You did very well.
08:19Let's continue right now and meet two brand new password players.
08:22Joan Crawford, meet your new partner from West Englewood, New Jersey, Richard Sampson.
08:28And here she is.
08:32Barry Nelson, meet your new partner from Bronxville, New York, Stinson Ivy.
08:37Stinson Ivy and Dick Sampson.
08:41Let's talk to your partner first, Joan Crawford.
08:43He's an oil salesman.
08:44Dick, does that mean you have to travel a lot?
08:46Yes, somewhat.
08:47I travel quite a lot, and usually in the Bahamas.
08:48In the Bahamas?
08:49Mm-hmm.
08:50Very good.
08:51How about you, Stinson?
08:52Let's find out about you.
08:53You're a student, I see.
08:54Does that name, Stinson, have any particular significance?
08:56It's a traditional name in my family, and I'm named after my uncle.
09:00You're named after your uncle?
09:01Yes, sir.
09:02Very good.
09:03Well, I'm glad you're here to play Password.
09:04And we'll get around to playing Password in just a moment, but right now, I'd like to
09:06talk to you.
09:07There are two ways you ladies can get lots of family pictures starting Christmas.
09:12One is to give your husband an ordinary camera and then nag him to use it, and the other
09:16is just to give him a Polaroid 10-second automatic camera.
09:20It's so easy and so much fun to use, he'll take all the pictures you want.
09:24Now watch how easy it is.
09:25Joan Crawford, may I take a picture of you and Dick?
09:27Will you come around here, Dick?
09:28Just a minute.
09:29Here you go.
09:30All right.
09:31One, two, three.
09:34That's all there is to it.
09:36Now, you see, this electric eye sets the exposure automatically from dawn till dusk, and this
09:42built-in flash makes indoor pictures just as easy.
09:45Now, every picture comes out sharp without focusing, and in just 10 seconds, watch, voila.
09:57That's French for there it is.
09:58So, if you want to enjoy more family pictures next year, get one of these, and you'll find
10:08it works out to be your Christmas present too.
10:10All right.
10:11Let's play the game.
10:13That's something to keep, Dick.
10:14It sure is.
10:15Okay.
10:16Here you go.
10:17This time...
10:19See where he puts it?
10:20All right.
10:21Put it in your left side, Dick.
10:22It's sweeter.
10:23All right.
10:24Here we go.
10:25To Joan Crawford, to Barry Nelson.
10:26As they look at it, we'd like you to see it.
10:27The password is grouchy.
10:28Start with you, Barry.
10:29Did you get it at home?
10:30Yes.
