    Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
    WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
    ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
    Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
    John T. Ryan ALTHOUGH THE CREATION of this panel show followed that of WHAT'S MY LINE? by about two years, there were both many similarities ; as well as a great may differences. In true show biz tradition, success spawns imitation; and it was never more in evidence than here. Like the older show, Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions was involved.LACKING THE 'GRAVITAS' of its distinguished Sunday Evening precursor, this middle of the week prime time entry was played more for fun. Laughter was king here and no apologies were made for that little element. Radio & TV veteran, Garry Moore, reigned over the fun and reined in the Panel.THE COMPOSITION OF the all important Panel was far different than it was over on Sunday's WHAT'S MY LINE. This show's panelists were overall, much more youthful. The Ladies were much more attractive and the gentlemen more energetic and comedy prone. They were: Actress Betsy Palmer, former Miss America Bess Myerson, Humorist Henry Morgan and All Purpose TV Radio Man/Gameshow Host Bill Cullen.MOST OFTEN THE show would start with the premise of a particular 'Theme'. Physical Fitness, for example, was one that we well recall; having been among the huge numbers of viewers on that evening, circa 1960. Available on Youtube.com, this episode also featured some long distance walkers and swimmers; as well as the NABBA (London) Professional Mr. Universe of 1959, Bruce Randall. For the record, Mr. Arnold Stang's secret was "I'm going to punch my way out of a Paper Bag!" He failed, of course.AS JUST A WORD to the wise, once again we must relate that there are some fine examples of the show just waiting for viewing on Youtube.com.
    lemon993 While channel-surfing the backwaters of digital cable, I came across a whitecap of historical political incorrectness. Gary Moore, the winsome host of "I've Got A Secret," dons an overcoat and muffler at the start of the broadcast. He then breaks the "fourth wall" of the studio on West 47th Street, ventures out into the bitter cold of a New York winter's night and corals a fifteen year old boy on his way to a show. Moore invites the kid in to be a contestant on HIS show. The boy's secret: "I was brought in from the street" easily stumps the celebrity panel. The young man wins two prizes: eighty dollars and a carton of Winston cigarettes--the show's lone sponsor.Can you imagine the outrage today if a television host gave a minor a carton of smokes? The fifties WERE a simpler time.
    vidrare Watching this show reminds a nostalgia buff like myself, how much certain stars are missed. Usually the beginning of each show has a star of the period state his or her name and say: ...."And I've got a secret". One such guest was Harpo Marx who not only had a chance to promote his excellent autobiography "Harpo Speaks" but also interact with the panel and Gary Moore through pantomime. Lloyd Bridges pretending to be in a diving suit (His double a New York restaurant doorman was in the suit!)to fool the panel while answering questions from the audience through a microphone! Elvis Presley's Grandad singing folk songs, Tony Curtis demonstrates boyhood games, Mickey Rooney imitating a monkey etc. etc. A really great show that has yet to disappoint this babyboomer. Recommended. >
    snookpup I love all these little shows of the past. I'm seeing them again on Game Show Network. They take me back to the nice times back in the 50's when I was a kid. We need more entertaining shows like these on TV today.
