A rare treat for WML fans: A very funny spoof of WML, with host Garry Moore (a longtime member of the Goodson-Todman family as host of "I've Got a Secret") and Steve Lawrence (frequent WML guest panelist) as the mystery guest-- Napoleon!

This is a segment from The Garry Moore Show that probably hasn't been seen publicly since it originally aired on Apr 28, 1964. On the panel are Shani Wallis as "Dorothy Swillgallon" (ouch!), Marty Allen as "Bennett Turf" (not even trying to do an impression), Durward Kirby as "Martin Fable" (trying to do an impression), and Terry-Thomas as "Terry-Thomas". Every member of the cast here was a WML alum except for Shani Wallis. Personally, I had no idea who she was until looking her up-- turns out she had quite a long career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shani_W...

Many, many thanks to longtime film preservationist and WML fan Stan Taffel for not only finding this gem in the first place, but for doing his usual expert job of transferring the film, and then sharing it with me so I could post it to this channel!

Stan has a couple of websites which I hope folks will take some time to check out:
To learn more about his screenings in the Los Angeles area, and more generally, the film preservation projects he's working on: http://hollywoodparty.org/
