00:00Good evening. I'm Vincent Price, and I've Got a Secret.
00:09From Hollywood, the show that reveals all, I've Got a Secret.
00:15And now let's meet the star of I've Got a Secret, Steve Allen.
00:19Can you see? Take a shot with this camera. Look at the names over here.
00:30I came in here the other day before the panelists got in, and I thought the panelists were Pat Henry and Anita Richard.
00:35I didn't know who the heck to look for.
00:36Anyway, fortunately, we have a very impressive comedian, Miss Pat Carroll.
00:41It's a lovely dress you're wearing, incidentally.
00:43And the wily, witty prince of chastisement himself, Henry Morgan.
00:46The accomplished young actress, lovely Anita Gillette.
00:50And a man from whom no secret is safe, Inspector Richard Dawson.
00:53There's our panel.
01:00And now we will welcome tonight's first contestant as we open the great wall. Here he is.
01:13Nice to have you with us, sir. Would you tell the panel your name?
01:16My name is Oliver A. Jolly Batchelor.
01:20Jolly Batchelor. Where are you from, Mr. Batchelor?
01:22From Claremont, California.
01:24Panel, it's Professor Batchelor. There's a little hint for you.
01:26He's a teacher at Cal Poly in Pomona, California.
01:29And he commutes there each day in this car, as you see here.
01:33And his secret concerns this special attachment.
01:36We want to be very plain with you.
01:38As you can see on the back of the car.
01:40And let's see if we can step back just a bit to Professor.
01:43There we are. The viewers at home can now get a good look at it, too.
01:46And I'll just tell you an additional hint.
01:48It utilizes heat from the engine.
01:50So if you'll whisper what that attachment is all about, Professor,
01:52we'll let the audience know.
01:56Uh-huh.
01:57Very well, panel. The audience now knows what Professor Batchelor's secret is.
02:09It's a special attachment that relates to that, I should say,
02:12that functions while he's driving.
02:13And we'll start the questioning with Anita.
02:15Oh, um, Mr. Jolly Batchelor.
02:17Is that really your name? Jolly Batchelor?
02:19I love that.
02:20Um, I know a lot of Jolly Batchelors.
02:22Um, Mr. Jolly Batchelor.
02:23All your time is up, Anita, but you're right.
02:26Mr. Jolly Batchelor, is that, is that,
02:29does that have anything to do with cleaning up the air?
02:33Um, not particularly, no.
02:35No?
02:36That's certainly not its purpose.
02:37It could possibly do it a little bit, but that's not what you're looking for.
02:39Does it have something to do with more fun?
02:40Something that's really fun?
02:42Definitely fun.
02:43Yeah?
02:44Yeah.
02:44Does it make a noise?
02:46Oh, no.
02:46It doesn't make a noise.
02:47I gave you a yes on fun, but it could mislead you.
02:49Oh, it could mislead me.
02:50Is it, uh, is it then something that's very useful?
02:54Oh, extremely useful.
02:55Does it help conserve gas?
02:58No, no.
02:59I wouldn't say that.
03:01One down, three to go.
03:01Richard?
03:02Uh, Professor, I noticed that it's on the exhaust pipe.
03:07Is that just to stabilize it, or are you using the exhaust?
03:11That is part of the suspension, but I use the exhaust.
03:13Are you sending threatening smoke signals to Indians?
03:19No, no, no.
03:21Is there something that goes on the top of the chimney-like affair there?
03:25Uh, yes, there really could be another part to it.
03:29Is it a bubble machine of some kind made with hot air?
03:33No, no, no, no.
03:34What do you think of the idea, Professor?
03:37You may build one.
03:38You may build one.
03:40Two down.
03:40Pat Caron.
03:41Uh, Professor Jolly Batchelor, does it have anything to do with, uh, with fuel?
03:47I mean, does it make you go in a fun kind of useful way?
03:50Whoopee!
03:52No, not necessarily.
03:54Is it where you stash your booze?
03:55Yeah.
03:56No.
03:57Uh, does it have to do with going faster?
04:02No, no.
04:03Does it have to do with anything that happens while you're driving?
04:07I mean, does a signal, not the smoke signal, but does any kind of thing happen while you're
04:11Something happens while you're driving.
04:12Yeah, something happens while you're driving.
04:13Uh...
04:13Okay, Henry, it's up to you.
04:16You're cooking your lunch in there?
04:18Yes, you've got it.
04:20What?
04:20What?
04:20Wait, wait a minute.
04:30Yes, Henry.
04:30Are you kidding?
04:31I get another chance because I'm just kidding.
04:34No, you know, a funny thing, Henry often knocks them off very fast, and the reason is, besides
04:39his obvious intelligence, he has been a panelist, and I've got a secret on and off for about
04:4210 years, and the experience shows.
04:44Anyway, the professor's secret, as we've now figured out, is that this attachment in
04:47his car is an oven, and it cooks, as Richard was suggesting, with heat from the engine.
04:52It's very remarkable, and when he gets home, it's his wife who says, hey, what's for dinner?
04:55You know.
04:56How does the thing work, specifically?
04:58Well, actually, I'm using the heat from the engine.
05:01I take one-third of the fuel it's used to drive the engine.
05:04It comes out as exhaust heat.
05:05I never heard of gas that gives you food before, I'll tell you that.
05:07Take it over, folks, and try your time is up.
05:10At 20 miles an hour, I get 260 degrees.
05:12At 65 miles an hour, I get 600 degrees, and I have cooked a meal coming in here today.
05:18That's remarkable.
05:19We're going to be able to look at it in just a moment.
05:20The fumes never reach the food, do they?
05:22Never.
05:22No, it's cleaner than your kitchen, Owen.
05:25I'm not surprised at that, if Jane will forgive me.
05:28Could we take a peek at that and see just how the thing works?
05:34Now, you see, the exhaust fumes pass around this and heat it.
05:37Inside, there are 10 hot biscuits.
05:43You have a very well-balanced diet.
05:45And they really are hot.
05:48Just a minute.
05:48This is Rommel's glasses.
05:50What's that?
05:53Now, look what's over here, gang.
05:55And on this side, I have a Cornish game hen.
05:59Oh, wow.
05:59Oh, wow.
06:02Do you have many road-tested recipes?
06:03Yes, quite a number.
06:05The biscuits, I cook at 55 and then brown them at 60.
06:11I like that.
06:12Oh, wow.
06:13And then the gourmet sweet potatoes.
06:16Wow.
06:17Well, let me...
06:18What's for dinner?
06:19I'll just pop something in the car and drive around the block.
06:22I'll run down to Colonel Sanders, and by the time I get back, I won't even have to go.
06:27What did I say?
06:29It's very interesting.
06:30You know, this will make Howard Johnson put itself on wheels.
06:35Howard Johnson will chase you down the road.
06:39How many gallons a mile can you get to this?
06:41Anyone's got a ticket for doing 45-mile-an-hour biscuits in a 25-mile zone?
06:44We're going to keep trying these jokes, folks.
06:47We don't care whether they work or not.
06:49I mean, once they're in your mind, you've got to get them out of your mouth.
06:51How did you get this novel idea, Professor?
06:53We were camping in the Rockies one early June, and a car made me sleep inside, though I didn't
06:58have a tent.
06:59So I got out, picked up my stove, and every time I got ready to cook something, it would
07:01rain or hail or snow.
07:03Well, I had a can of soup that I'd opened, and I put it...
07:06I had backed into the camping spot, and there was a rock right by the exhaust.
07:10So I put the can of soup in front of the exhaust pipe, and we got in the car and turned on
07:13the heat and kept warm, and while I got out, the soup was hot.
07:15And I thought, well, if it'll cook soup in 10 minutes out in the freezing storm, what
07:19would it do if I made a jacket around it?
07:21So hence started my tailpipe cooker.
07:23This is Mark VI model.
07:24I made one in New Zealand when we were down there, and it works very well.
07:28It's really a gasser.
07:30Thank you very much.
07:31Thank you very much.
07:33I hope you're right back.
07:34I've got a seat that will continue in just one minute.
07:43Now, we've asked you to be standing, panel, because those who were victims of the crime
07:49have asked, you know, for the opportunity to identify you.
07:51Seriously, you're going to participate in the next spot, and we're going to meet a guest
07:55who will tell you something quite fascinating.
07:56Here he is.
07:57Nice to have you with us, sir.
08:08Would you tell the panel your name?
08:10Gene Marvin.
08:12And you are from?
08:13Los Angeles.
08:14All right.
08:14Ordinarily, panel, you know, you have to guess the secrets of our guests.
08:17That's the way the game goes.
08:18But tonight, something of a switch.
08:19Mr. Marvin is going to turn the tables.
08:21He is going to tell us all your secrets, so to speak, because he is a performer who does
08:26a mind-reading act.
08:28He's appearing in Hollywood presently at the Magic Castle.
08:30You may have seen him at Playboy clubs around the country, and you will again soon.
08:33Mr. Marvin, would you tell us just how we'll go about this?
08:36Yes.
08:36I'd like everybody to think of their name, first of all, and think of one thought that's
08:41personal to you, not a question, just a thought.
08:44Once you have this firmly in your mind, Johnny, if you'll pass out some slips of paper, I'd
08:48like you to write your name and a personal thought on that slip of paper.
08:51Incidentally, I suggest you don't make it too personal, panel, because with luck, Mr. Marvin
08:56really will be able to blab to the world what it is that you thought of, if he can accomplish
09:02this remarkable task he has set for himself.
09:05And then in just a moment, I guess we'll have Johnny collect these pieces of paper.
09:08What will we do then with them?
09:09When they're finished writing, after they have the name on it and so forth, take the
09:12paper off the board, fold it up, insert it into the envelope, and then seal the envelope
09:17so I can't possibly see on the inside.
09:19I'm also going to put on a pair of gloves.
09:21Why?
09:21People in the past have accused me of being able to feel the ink on the slips of paper
09:25through the envelope, so this will certainly prove that that's impossible.
09:28Just fold the papers up and set them into the envelope.
09:32By the way, while we're doing that, how many of you over there are skeptics, panel?
09:35Be honest.
09:36Henry, we have two or three skeptics.
09:39Four skeptics, all right.
09:40All under-Pasperterians.
09:42Oh, I'm sorry.
09:43Well, that's very close to skepticism.
09:45Now, how about our audience here?
09:46How many of you think that Mr. Marvin cannot actually read minds?
09:50Put your hand up if you doubt.
09:52Well, we have about 30% doubters out there.
09:53That's not too bad.
09:55Now, how do you intend to pick up the thoughts of our panelists, Mr. Marvin?
09:58Let's just call them one at a time, have them come over, bring your envelope over.
10:01I'd like to feel the envelope and your wrist, and at that time, I'll have you concentrate
10:05on what's on the inside.
10:06Pat Carroll, want to start out with Pat?
10:08All right.
10:09Just come right over here, dear, and concentrate on what's in the envelope.
10:12I have to concentrate.
10:13Yes, hold up the envelope so I can touch it, and your wrist.
10:19Something that has happened to you in the past, something you received, is that right?
10:23Mm-hmm.
10:24Some sort of an award or a degree, is that right, Pat?
10:26Mm-hmm.
10:27I believe it's, the degree is, is it an honorary degree?
10:31It is honorary.
10:33Concentrate on the kind it is.
10:34Is it possibly some sort of a doctor degree, is that right?
10:40Would it be a doctor, a doctor of letters degree?
10:42Is it an honorary doctor of letters degree that you have?
10:44Is that right?
10:45That's absolutely right.
10:45Is that your thought?
10:46That's absolutely right.
10:49You are, you are, you are, you're listening to me.
10:51You can keep that.
10:51You can keep that as a, thank you.
10:54Isn't that impressive?
10:55All right, skeptic number two, Henry Morgan.
10:57Let's see if he has the same luck with you, Henry.
10:59That's right.
10:59All right.
11:02Is that funny?
11:03Some sort of fear on your part, is that right, Henry?
11:06It's related to fear.
11:07A hatred of some type.
11:09Hatred, hatred, hatred.
11:10Has something to do with height.
11:12It's not, it's not buildings.
11:14Flying, flying.
11:16Is this, this place is rigged.
11:18Flying, yes.
11:18This place is rigged.
11:18Flying, you hate to fly in airplanes.
11:20Is that right?
11:21That's right.
11:21Wow.
11:25Fantastic.
11:27Henry is nonplussed and perplexed.
11:29All right, Anita, just come right over here, dear,
11:31with your envelope and your little fist
11:32and concentrate on what's in there.
11:34I hate airplanes.
11:34I hate airplanes.
11:34You're thinking of a person, is that right?
11:41Right.
11:43A person very close to you.
11:45Yes.
11:47A relative.
11:49Right.
11:50Possibly, I'm picking up female vibrations.
11:52This would be a sister.
11:53Right.
11:55Something has happened to her recently, is that right?
11:57Yes.
11:58Goodness.
12:00I have hair with a bugle.
12:01And something's going to happen in the near future, too.
12:03Is that true?
12:04Yeah.
12:05She's going to have a baby, isn't she?
12:07Yes.
12:17Okay, Richard.
12:18Richard Dawson.
12:20I don't want you to leave any prints.
12:22The winner is Anthony Quinn.
12:24No, no, no, no.
12:25All right, concentrate.
12:26All right.
12:26All right.
12:31I see a lot of people in your thought, is that right?
12:37Yes.
12:38People, floats.
12:42Yeah.
12:43Something about parades, that's all I mean.
12:44What is your thought?
12:45I love a parade.
12:46You love a parade, all right.
12:47Very good.
12:50Very good.
12:54A remarkable demonstration.
12:57Mr. Marvin, that's really phenomenal.
12:58I would say more, but why bother when you already know what I'm thinking?
13:01Thank you for joining us.
13:07We'll be back with our guest star, Vincent Price, right after these messages.
13:18In addition to a cash award, each of our contestants will receive a gift for our first contestant,
13:22beauty care gifts from Vanda Beauty Counselors.
13:24Your neighborhood Vanda Beauty Counselor will help you select your own customized beauty
13:28program.
13:29We're our second contestant, a deluxe kit of roll-on decorator paints from Artex, the
13:33complete home and fashion decorator painted a tube, Artex Hobby Products of Lima, Ohio.
13:38We're our celebrity guests, Samsonite Silhouette Luggage, a beauty case, overnight case, and
13:42Pullman, featuring concealed locks and stain and scuff-resistant finish.
13:46Samsonite, we make travel a little easier.
13:48Okay, Steve?
13:50Thank you, Johnny.
13:50Before we meet tonight's guest star, Vincent Price, I'd like to tell you something about
13:54his secret while our panel is offstage in their soundproof room.
13:57Vincent's secret concerns his love for art.
13:59I'm sure you know about that.
14:00And it involves what you may not know, a specific famous painting called The Cardinal's Portrait.
14:06I'm going to hold up a print of it.
14:08The Cardinal's Portrait by Toby Rosenthal.
14:11Painted many years ago.
14:12Brilliant painting.
14:13Color photograph of it here.
14:14Tonight, we are recreating this portrait with living models on our stage, featuring Vincent
14:20as the Cardinal.
14:21And now we'll open the great wall and you'll see this amazing living picture.
14:25Here it is.
14:38Isn't that absolutely phenomenal?
14:41Real living picture.
14:42Welcome to the show, Vincent.
14:43Oh, thank you, Steve.
14:46But you thought he wasn't going to move there for a second.
14:48Could you tell us something about all this?
14:50Well, you know, every summer, the famous Laguna Festival of Arts and pageant of the Masters
14:55in Laguna Beach, California, here, they recreate works of art like this one with live models.
15:02And so tonight, with the aid of festival producer Don Williamson and his staff, we've recreated
15:08one of the pageant favorites that people come to see from all over the world.
15:12Well, I can certainly see why.
15:15Your secret, then, is that you're posing as a living painting.
15:18And in just a moment, we're going to bring the panel back, now that we've established
15:21that, from the soundproof room with our blindfolds on, of course.
15:24Incidentally, while we're waiting for that, I want to congratulate you, Vincent, on another
15:27one of your marvelous books.
15:29We'll take a close-up of it here with one camera or another.
15:31There it is.
15:31It's called Vincent Price's Treasury of American Art, and it's really something special.
15:36Want to tell us a little about the book?
15:37Oh, thank you.
15:38Yeah.
15:40You know, I think an awful lot of people don't think there is such a thing as American art
15:46because we're made up of so many other people.
15:48That's really what I try to prove, that there is a very real thing called American art.
15:52Indeed.
15:53Excuse me, Steve, but the panel's on its way in.
15:55All right.
15:55Thank you, Johnny.
15:56You're blindfolded, of course, panel, and therefore you'll just have to take my word for it that
16:02our guest, our Vincent Price, is on stage with us.
16:04His secret involves a famous painting called The Cardinal's Portrait, and we'll start the
16:09questioning with Henry Morgan.
16:11Well, what do I want to know?
16:14You want to know what the secret is.
16:16I know, but there's a painting on stage.
16:18What do I want to...
16:19You told me the name of the painting.
16:21Now what am I going for is what I mean.
16:23You're going for broke, Henry.
16:26It's do or die, kid.
16:29Okay.
16:32It's what Vincent is doing.
16:33Oh, he's doing something.
16:35Yeah.
16:35Okay.
16:36Now, I never heard of any painting called The Cardinal's Portrait, okay?
16:40So let's start with, is Vincent painting it?
16:43No.
16:44Are you doing anything to the painting?
16:47No.
16:47Are you examining it in any way?
16:49No.
16:50Are you ignoring it?
16:51No.
16:53You've cleared up a lot of ground there, Henry.
16:55Anita?
16:56But you're fooling around with that painting, right?
16:58Incidentally, Henry, you may take your mask off now.
16:59Oh.
17:00A little bit, yes.
17:01Yes.
17:02Are you touching it?
17:04Hmm, in a way.
17:05In a way?
17:06Are you, uh, are your hands touching it?
17:13Ah, that's marvelous.
17:15In a way, yes.
17:16In a way.
17:17In a way, your hands are touching it.
17:19Are you imitating it?
17:21Yes.
17:21You are?
17:22Yes.
17:23Okay.
17:24That's not it?
17:24You may take your blindfold off, Anita.
17:26Richard.
17:31I'll make a deal with you, Anita.
17:33If you lay them, I'll sell them.
17:36Sorry.
17:37All right.
17:39Vincent, um, down at, uh, the coast here, every year, at the artist's column, they, they have
17:46living pictures, like 3D pictures.
17:48Are you in a 3D picture?
17:49That's exactly it, Richard.
17:51Are you?
17:51Yes, I am.
17:54Vincent is posing, in one of those living pictures, all right, a recreation of the cardinal's portrait.
18:02And I'd like to thank my fellow actors who appeared with me.
18:05Del Wagner is the monk, and Douglas Palmer is the portrait.
18:11Thank you very much, Your Eminence.
18:17And our thanks to the Laguna Festival of Arts for making the secret possible.
18:24I haven't got a secret returns after these words.
18:35Now let's meet our next contestant.
18:37You tell the ladies and gentlemen of the panel your name, sir?
18:50Larry Capune.
18:51Larry Capune.
18:52Where do you hail from, Larry?
18:53Uh, Balboa Island, California.
18:55Balboa Island.
18:56Mr. Capune traveled, uh, some time back from Boston down to Miami in quite an unusual way.
19:02His secret involves and how he made that trip.
19:05And if you'll whisper the secret to me, Mr. Capune, we'll let the world know what it is.
19:09Huh.
19:10All right.
19:11That is interesting.
19:17As I say, Mr. Capune's secret concerns the unusual way he got from Boston to Miami.
19:22And we'll start the questioning with Pat.
19:24Uh, Larry, may I call you Larry?
19:26Fine.
19:27Good.
19:27Larry, did it have to do with something on the water?
19:31Yes.
19:32Because you look like a surfer somehow.
19:34Uh, did it have to do with a surfboard?
19:37Uh, yes.
19:38That's the secret.
19:39It's over.
19:39Yep.
19:40Oh, no.
19:40That's it?
19:41That's it.
19:43I will, huh?
19:44Do you know, it was funny, I was trying so hard to be clever because I've recently become aware they now have those, am I not right, Larry, those surfboards with sails on them?
19:56Yeah, but that's not the way I did it.
19:58No, he actually passed it.
19:59Just on a surfboard?
20:00A real surfboard, yeah.
20:01Oh, good grief.
20:02You know.
20:02Here's a picture of him.
20:03It's a little out of focus, but then he was moving at the time, of course.
20:08Where were you when this picture was taken, Larry?
20:09Uh, I was down, uh, further south, down along, uh, upper Florida, where it was taken.
20:16How long did it take you?
20:17It took me 110 days.
20:18Wow.
20:18Why did you do it?
20:20Well, definitely to, uh, the real reason was to try and show kids that you can, you, you can do something different.
20:25You can take a different kind of trip without using the negatives of our society, like, you know, drugs or taking a bottle, like, like, like, like, like, like, you know, this sort of thing.
20:31Good for you.
20:32Uh, it, also, I attempted it in 65, and, uh, I failed miserably because I got arrested in Stone Harbor, New Jersey for not stopping for a lifeguard whistle and inciting a riot.
20:43And then, uh.
20:44Wait a minute.
20:44How do you incite a riot when you're out on a surfboard?
20:46Well, there was a crowd.
20:47Unless it's at a school of fish or something like that.
20:51It was very, uh, far-fetched, I thought.
20:54And then in North Carolina, I got, uh, I was scaring some guy's fish, speaking of fish.
20:58And, uh, he, he told me if, uh, if I continue to do so, he was going to kill me.
21:03And, uh, he started throwing bottles at me and got in the head with a bottle.
21:05So that sort of ended the trip.
21:06He was in a, on a dock or in a boat, or where was he?
21:08Yeah, he was, he was on a pier.
21:09He owned a pier.
21:10He said I was scaring his fish, and I asked him which ones were his.
21:13And then he said to him about it.
21:22And this man actually attacked you?
21:24Yeah, he, uh, he owed, well, I sued him and got a judgment of 11,000.
21:28And then when I went by the pier this year, uh, I was covered by the Coast Guard with a,
21:32with a helicopter above me, covered, and then they, uh, uh, what do you call it?
21:36A big, uh, you know, launch alongside of me.
21:39Oh, it's certainly something that, uh, I'd like my children to do.
21:43Have bottles thrown at them and be shot at.
21:46Yes.
21:46Oh, how many miles did you cover in this frightening adventure?
21:49Uh, 2,444 miles.
21:52Wow.
21:52I think there's a movie in it somewhere.
21:54And they guessed your secret in two seconds.
21:56Yes.
21:56Hardly worth the trip.
21:57Really?
21:59Yeah.
22:00Well, it was a remarkable, uh, remarkable adventure.
22:05And if there's nothing else the panel cares to add for the record, we will consider this case closed.
22:09Part will resume tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.
22:12Thank you very much.
22:13A remarkable time.
22:13Congratulations.
