00:00These three contestants are about to play the most exciting game of their lives.
00:08Miriam Voorhees plans on taking her winnings home today to Santa Monica, California.
00:13Betty Sweets from Los Angeles is equally sure of winning.
00:17And Warren Shamblin, a lingerie salesman from California,
00:20whose eyes are all on the same winner's circle.
00:23From Hollywood, Television City, it's time to press your luck.
00:30And now, here's your host, the star of Press Your Luck, Peter DeMarquez.
00:44And thank you, Ron Roddy, and once again, welcome to Press Your Luck,
00:48the most competitive game in television where, as you know by now,
00:51you can win a bundle or you can lose your shirt.
00:53I'm going to ask you four questions, and your correct answers will earn you spins
00:56at the big Press Your Luck game board.
00:57Of course, the more spins you have, you know the more money you can win.
01:00Because our board, as you know by now, is loaded with thousands of dollars in cash
01:04and terrific prizes.
01:05Every time you stop the board like this, stop, you'll win money.
01:08Look what I did. I should play this game.
01:10$4,000 and a spin.
01:12Only problem is, if you hit a whammy, that rascal will jump out and reduce your total to zero.
01:16So you want to be very careful.
01:17With that in mind, are you ready to press your luck?
01:19Ready.
01:19Here comes the first question.
01:21Who is the most beautiful woman that Hollywood designer Edith Head says she ever dressed?
01:33All right, class.
01:34Would you like it in multiple choice?
01:36Here it comes.
01:37The most beautiful woman that designer Edith Head ever dressed was Liz Taylor, Greta Garbo,
01:43or Kim Novak?
01:44Miriam?
01:45Greta Garbo.
01:46Greta Garbo says, Miriam.
01:47Betty, who do you say?
01:49Greta Garbo.
01:50Greta Garbo. Let's go with Warren and see who he says.
01:52I'll make it unanimous with Greta Garbo.
01:54Greta Garbo. Well, that beautiful lady is Liz Taylor.
01:57Well, nobody picks up any spins.
01:59I was going to give you a spin a piece if you got it, but you didn't.
02:01So we're going to go to question number two.
02:04It makes up 21% of the world's daily intake of food.
02:08What food is it?
02:10Betty.
02:12Potatoes.
02:12Potatoes, says Betty.
02:13If you're right, Betty, you'll pick up three big spins.
02:15I'll tell you what I'll do.
02:16I'll give Betty's answer and two others to Miriam and Warren.
02:18If they're right, they'll get a spin a piece.
02:20Is the correct answer potatoes, rice, or corn?
02:23Miriam?
02:26May I ask you to clarify something?
02:27Sure.
02:27Are you talking the world's?
02:29Are we talking world here?
02:30World's daily.
02:3021% of the world's...
02:31I'll go with rice.
02:32You go with rice.
02:32All right.
02:33Warren, what do you go with?
02:34I go with rice.
02:35You go with rice.
02:36Well, each day, 21% of the food the world eats is rice.
02:39All right.
02:40Miriam and Warren.
02:41Okay.
02:43Miriam picks up a spin.
02:44And Warren picks up a spin.
02:46And Betty stays with zip so far.
02:48Here's our third question.
02:50Aside from clear or transparent, what is the most popular shade or color of contact lenses?
02:57Betty?
02:58Blue.
02:58All right, Betty.
03:00Is the correct answer blue, brown, or hazel?
03:02Miriam?
03:03Has to be blue.
03:04Has to be blue.
03:05Let's find out from Warren if it has to be blue.
03:07I'll say blue.
03:07You will say blue.
03:08The most popular contact lens shade is blue.
03:11Yay!
03:12Everybody picks up spins.
03:13Miriam picks up a spin.
03:15And Betty picks up three.
03:17And Warren goes to two.
03:18Here is our fourth question.
03:21Give us the last name of the famous lawyer who has become synonymous with palimony.
03:27Betty?
03:28Mitchelson.
03:29Mitchelson.
03:30All right.
03:30Is the correct answer Mitchelson, Belli, or Bailey?
03:34Miriam?
03:36Mitchelson.
03:36Mitchelson says, Miriam, let's go over to Warren and see who he says.
03:40It's old Marvin Mitchelson.
03:41Marvin Mitchelson.
03:41The palimony king is Marvin Mitchelson.
03:44Correct.
03:44Everybody gets their act.
03:46Miriam goes to three.
03:47Betty goes to six.
03:48And Warren goes to three.
03:50All right.
03:50Just a moment, players.
03:51You're going to have a chance to convert those spins into pressure-luck dollars when we come back.
03:55Woo!
03:57Can't stand it.
03:59All right, players.
03:59We are back.
04:00And as you know, there are prizes.
04:01And of course, we have surprises.
04:03And we have $13,000 in cash in addition to a few whammies up there on our game board.
04:08Now, each spin can bring you up to $1,250.
04:11And remember, that's important because the player who ends this round on top plays last in the final round.
04:16And that is a big advantage.
04:17Remember, you can pass the remaining spins if you're afraid of the whammy.
04:20Everything is at stake each time you spin.
04:22And four whammies puts you out of the game.
04:24So you want to be careful.
04:26All right.
04:26The player with the fewest spins is Miriam.
04:28That means you get to go first.
04:29Miriam, are you ready?
04:30I'm ready.
04:31Actually, it's a tie between Warren and Miriam.
04:32We will go with Miriam because she's to my furthest left.
04:35I wanted to clarify that, Miriam, to be fair, right?
04:37Okay.
04:38What a guy.
04:38Here we go.
04:40Stop.
04:41A cassette radio.
04:43Miriam, well done.
04:44Value of that radio is $290.
04:47There you are in the money area.
04:51Two spins left.
04:52What do you want to do?
04:53I'm going to go for it.
04:53Going to go.
04:54Here we go.
04:56Stop.
04:56Stop at $100 and you picked up a valuable spin.
05:00That's $390.
05:01Two spins.
05:02Press your luck or pass.
05:03I'm going to press my luck.
05:04I figured as much.
05:05Stop.
05:06Stop at $200 and another spin.
05:08Picking up a lot of spins, Miriam.
05:11$590, two spins.
05:12What are you going to do?
05:15I'm going to play.
05:16I'm going to keep going.
05:16You're going to play.
05:17No whammies yet.
05:18We're going to do a whole game without whammies today.
05:20Stop.
05:21Stop at $470.
05:23That puts you into four figures.
05:25$1,060.
05:27One spin left.
05:28Press your luck or pass.
05:28I'm going to pass it.
05:30You can pass it to either Betty or Warren.
05:32Your choice.
05:33Betty has six spins.
05:34Warren has three.
05:36Since neither of them have any dollars, it doesn't matter.
05:39Warren.
05:40Warren.
05:41The battling Bickersons.
05:42It goes to Warren.
05:44Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
05:44And you have the next three spins.
05:47One you've got to take.
05:47And here it comes, Warren.
05:49All right.
05:49Stop.
05:50Oh.
05:51Very admitted to you, Warren.
05:56I tell you, it doesn't hurt too much because she gave you the spin.
05:59You didn't have any dollars anyway.
06:01That's right.
06:01So she really didn't hurt you that much, right?
06:02And I got him out of my system.
06:03He's out of your system.
06:04Yeah, you got your three spins.
06:05Are you ready?
06:05Let's play the game.
06:05Let's go.
06:06Here we go.
06:08And stop.
06:09Stop at $1,000.
06:10All right.
06:10Two spins left, Warren.
06:15I won't dare see him again this round.
06:17Let's play.
06:17Okay.
06:18Let's press my lap.
06:18All right.
06:19Do the game with one win.
06:20Good to be now.
06:20And stop.
06:21Stop at $300.
06:23That's $1,300.
06:25You are now in first place.
06:26One spin left.
06:28You can pass that spin back to Miriam.
06:30Or you can go.
06:31I'm going to pass that spin back to Miriam.
06:33I knew it.
06:33That's a mere suggestion to Warren.
06:35He passes it back to you, Miriam.
06:37How sweet.
06:38$1,060.
06:39Here it comes.
06:40Let's see if what Warren felt is coming.
06:42Stop.
06:43It is.
06:43Oh.
06:46That's your plan.
06:47Oh, you two have a six sense.
06:53Oh, I'm glad we have you been separated by Betty.
06:56No dollars, Miriam.
06:58No more spins.
06:59We now go to Betty with six spins.
07:02And no dollars.
07:03Betty, you ready?
07:03I am ready.
07:04Here we go.
07:04Press my lap.
07:06Stop.
07:06Stop.
07:07Oh.
07:08Hopefully everyone's got it.
07:10All right, everybody's got one, Betty.
07:15Five more to go.
07:16You can make a lot of dollars.
07:17Here we go.
07:19Stop.
07:19Stop at $700.
07:21Second place, Betty.
07:22Four spins.
07:23What do you want to do?
07:24I am going to press my lap.
07:25I figured as much.
07:27Stop.
07:28Stop at $500.
07:30$1,200.
07:31$100 less than Warren.
07:32Remember, that first place position is an advantageous one.
07:35What do you want to do with your three spins?
07:37Play.
07:37I'm going to press my lap.
07:38Here she goes.
07:40Stop.
07:41Stop at an exercise lower.
07:43The value is $250, Betty.
07:46That puts you at $1,450 in first place by $150 over Warren.
07:51Two spins left.
07:52Press your lap or pass.
07:53One.
07:55One more.
07:55Here we go.
07:57Stop.
07:58Stop at $350.
08:00That's $1,800.
08:01You're in first place, Betty.
08:02You want to pass it?
08:04It goes to you, Warren.
08:05Let's see what happens with one spin.
08:07$1,300.
08:07You can stay in second place.
08:08All right, let's take it.
08:09Go in first or tie at zero.
08:11Stop.
08:12Stop at it.
08:12Flatware.
08:13Value of $550 for our next flip to in first place.
08:17We've got Miriam at zero, Betty at 18, and Warren, you're leading at $1,850, which we'll see later as a big advantage.
08:24We'll be right back with more questions, spins, prizes, and surprises right after this.
08:30It's black time.
08:37All right, players, it's time for round two, and that means I've got four more questions, four more chances for you to earn some spins.
08:43And a player with the most money at the end of this round gets to keep it all and come back again tomorrow.
08:46With that in mind, are you ready for your first question?
08:48Yes.
08:49Let's do it.
08:49Here it comes.
08:50Ten years ago, two well-known tennis stars staged a match titled The Battle of the Sexes.
08:56Who won the match?
08:57Billie Jean King.
08:58Miriam.
08:58It's okay.
08:59Go ahead.
08:59Billie Jean King.
09:00You were so excited.
09:01Billie Jean King.
09:02All right, if you're right, you're going to pick up three spins, Miriam.
09:04Tell you what I'm going to do.
09:05I'm going to take Miriam's answer, give it to Betty and Warren with two others, and if you guys pick it right, you will get a spin apiece.
09:11Isn't that nice?
09:12I knew you'd like that.
09:13All right, it's the correct answer.
09:15Billie Jean King.
09:15Billie Jean King, Yvonne Goulagong, or Margaret Court.
09:18Betty?
09:18Billie Jean King.
09:19Billie Jean King, says Betty.
09:20What do you say Warren?
09:21I say Billie Jean King.
09:22Three Billie Jeans.
09:23Well, that Battle of the Sexes winner was, of course, Billie Jean King.
09:26Everybody picks up spin.
09:28Miriam goes to three.
09:30Betty won.
09:31Warren won.
09:31Here's your second question.
09:33The U.S. Census tells us this.
09:36Except for marriages that end by death, rounded off to the nearest year, how long will the average marriage last?
09:43Betty?
09:43Fifty years.
09:46How long?
09:46Fifty years.
09:47Fifty years.
09:48All right.
09:49Is the correct answer fifty, five, or seven?
09:54Miriam?
09:55I'll go for seven.
09:56You'll go for seven.
09:57Let's go over to Warren and see what he goes for.
09:59I'll go for seven.
09:59You'll go for seven.
10:00Well, the average marriage now lasts about seven years.
10:03All right.
10:04Six point eight to be...
10:05Betty, I love your spirit.
10:07Fifty...
10:07I agree with you.
10:08I think it should be fifty years.
10:09We're going for it.
10:10Miriam picks up spins and goes to four.
10:13Yeah, I gather she goes to four.
10:14Betty stays at one and Warren stays at...
10:16Actually, Warren picks up a spin and goes to two.
10:18I was a little bit behind because I chatted with Betty for a while.
10:20But we'll move on to question three.
10:23Can't fool me.
10:24What legendary movie star ruined the sales of undershirts when he revealed he didn't wear one in It Happened One Night?
10:31Warren?
10:31Clark Gable.
10:32All right.
10:32Is the correct answer Clark Gable, Cary Grant, or John Wayne?
10:36Miriam?
10:36Absolutely Clark Gable.
10:37Absolutely Clark Gable.
10:39Betty, what do you say?
10:39Must be Clark Gable.
10:40Clark Gable.
10:41Well, that guy who didn't wear his undershirt was indeed Clark Gable.
10:44Okay.
10:45Miriam goes to five.
10:47Betty to two.
10:48And Warren picks up three and hits the five.
10:51Here is our fourth and final question.
10:53The people of what country have been swept into a national craze of finding their roots,
10:59even though there's likely to be a convict in their past?
11:06Warren?
11:07United States.
11:08United States.
11:09All right.
11:09Is the correct answer.
11:10United States, China, or Australia.
11:13Miriam?
11:16I'll go with United States.
11:18U.S. says Miriam.
11:19Let's go to Betty and see who she says.
11:21Australia or...
11:22China?
11:24Australia, United States.
11:25United States.
11:25United States.
11:26That country that was once a penal colony is Australia.
11:30Miriam stays at five, Betty at two, and Warren at five.
11:33And all our players will be taking those valuable spins to the big board
11:36to decide who the winner's going to be on Trust Your Luck today when we come back.
11:50All right, players, it's time for big bucks on Trust Your Luck.
12:09You know you can win a bundle because there's over $50,000 in cash up there just waiting for
12:14you to get your hands on it.
12:15And don't forget the whammy because he'll come out and take away all your money if he gets
12:18the chance, so you want to be careful.
12:20Let's look at money.
12:20We've got Miriam with no money to look at.
12:22We've got Betty at $1,800 in Warren.
12:24You ended up with the highest total in round one, $1,850.
12:27So you have the distinction of playing last in this, the final round, which puts you in
12:31the driver's seat.
12:32Sit back, relax, enjoy your one whammy while we go over to Miriam with five spins, no dollars,
12:37and one whammy.
12:38Are you ready, Miriam?
12:39I'm ready.
12:39All right, let's get away from that zero and up to some bucks.
12:42Stop.
12:43Oh, that's not the way.
12:45That's not the way, Miriam.
12:50Now you've got two of those demons.
12:51Are you ready?
12:52Zero dollars, four spins.
12:54I gather you're going to go.
12:55I'm going to press that on.
12:56Here we go.
12:58Stop.
12:58Stop.
12:59Oh.
13:00Oh, my goodness.
13:01My goodness is right, Miriam.
13:04Oh, my.
13:05Well, the situation is a little different now, Miriam.
13:07You have three whammies, three spins.
13:09Critical situation.
13:10You pick up one more whammy, you'll be out of the game.
13:13I know, I don't think I can win with no money, though.
13:16I think you're right, Miriam, although you did it before.
13:18So let's go.
13:19You're going to go.
13:19Here we go.
13:22Stop.
13:22Stop at $750.
13:24Now you've got some money.
13:25Third place, two spins left, three big whammies.
13:28What are you going to do, Miriam?
13:29Oh, my.
13:30If you pass those spins, they're passed to Warren,
13:33since he's the player with the highest amount of money.
13:36I've got to press my luck.
13:37Going to keep going, make some more money?
13:38Okay, here we go.
13:39We do not need a whammy here.
13:42Stop.
13:42$2,000, Miriam.
13:45$2,750.
13:46That puts you in first place by about $900.
13:49You have one spin left, Miriam.
13:51Are you going to take the chance and press your luck,
13:53or are you going to pass it?
13:55That's one big spin.
13:57It sure is.
14:01Hey!
14:03I'm going to press my luck.
14:04All right, Miriam, you're going to press your luck.
14:06Here she goes.
14:07Come on.
14:07She's going to make some money,
14:08or she's going to be out of the game.
14:10Go back two spaces to $5,000 in the spin.
14:14Miriam, you pulled it out.
14:16$7,750, and you picked up a spin,
14:19so you still have one.
14:21Get it out of here.
14:21Get it out of here, Miriam says.
14:23Okay, we'll pass that spin over to Warren.
14:26But you don't have to play it yet, Warren.
14:27You can kind of think about it.
14:28The last time she passed your spin, it was deadly.
14:30I remember, yes.
14:31So you can think about it.
14:32Well, we go to Betty with $1,800 and two spins.
14:34Betty, are you ready?
14:35I'm ready to press my luck.
14:38Stop!
14:38Stop it.
14:39Big buck!
14:40$1,000 and a spin, Betty!
14:43That's $5,800, and you picked up a spin.
14:45You still have two.
14:47Second place.
14:47What are you going to do?
14:48Press my luck.
14:49All right, Betty's on a roll.
14:51Stop!
14:52Stop at the Bahamas!
14:53A trip for two with a value of $2,050.
14:58Betty, that brings you up to $78.50.
15:01You have $100 more than Miriam.
15:04First place.
15:05You want to keep going?
15:06I have to press my luck.
15:07One more spin.
15:09Stop!
15:10Stop at a whammy.
15:14Get it, Frank!
15:15Get it, Frank!
15:18Oh, Betty, you're doing nothing.
15:21Got a whammy.
15:21No dollars, no more spins.
15:23We're going to have to go over to Warren, who has $1,850.
15:26One spin that you have to take.
15:28Will you be whammied by Miriam?
15:30Let's find out.
15:31Here we go.
15:32All right, let's find out.
15:34Stop!
15:35Stop at Odyssey.
15:36You were not whammied.
15:37You got an Odyssey value of $1,778.
15:42Warren, you now have $3,620, which is almost half of what Miriam has.
15:47Five spins left.
15:48Peter, I came to play.
15:49Let's go.
15:50All right, here we go.
15:51Warren and Miriam.
15:53Stop!
15:53It's only $5,000 and a spin.
15:57That's $8,628.
16:00You still have your five spins.
16:02What are you going to do?
16:03You're about $1,000 ahead of Miriam.
16:05Press Mellick one time.
16:06One time, Warren says.
16:08Going to press it.
16:08All right.
16:10Stop!
16:10Stop it.
16:11Move one space to $1,500 or $500 and a spin.
16:14I'm going to take the $1,500.
16:16I thought you would, Warren.
16:17That brings you up to $10,128.
16:22Four spins left.
16:23A lot of spins.
16:25You are about $3,000 ahead of Miriam.
16:28What are you going to do?
16:30Miriam!
16:31Here they come!
16:33Bam!
16:34Four big ones to you.
16:35You've got three whammies.
16:36You hit a whammy, and Warren wins the game.
16:39If you fight them off, anything can happen.
16:41Miriam, are you ready with your first spin?
16:43Warren, are you ready?
16:44I'm ready.
16:44She hits a whammy.
16:45You're going to be the champ.
16:46Here it comes.
16:46The battling Vickersons go at it.
16:48Stop!
16:48Stop at $2,250, Miriam.
16:52That brings you up to $10,000 even.
16:54You are $128 shy of Warren.
16:57Oh, God.
16:58You still have your three whammies, three spins.
17:00We'll take them one at a time.
17:02Warren, are you ready?
17:02Miriam, are you ready?
17:04Here it comes.
17:05Stop!
17:05Stop at $1,500, Miriam.
17:08Now you're ahead.
17:09You're in the lead.
17:10$11,500.
17:12Two more you've got to deal with.
17:13You stay out of the bushes two more times, and you can win it.
17:16Here it comes.
17:18Stop!
17:19Stop at $750, and you picked up a spin.
17:22That gives you $12,000, $250.
17:27One spin over in the earned column.
17:28We'll deal with that later.
17:29You've got one more spin.
17:30One more whammy.
17:31You've got to fight off.
17:32If you can do it, you can win the game.
17:34Here it comes.
17:37Stop!
17:37Stop at $500, and a spin.
17:40Miriam, you have $12,750, two spins that you can now do whatever you want with.
17:47You're about $2,600 ahead of Warren.
17:50My heart can't take it.
17:51I've got to give it back to Warren.
17:53Her heart's giving out, Warren.
17:54They come back to you.
17:55A seesaw battle.
17:57$12,750.
17:59Warren, you've got to fight it off twice.
18:01$10,128.
18:02Are you ready?
18:03I'm ready.
18:03Miriam, are you ready?
18:04Here it comes.
18:05Hold your breath, Miriam.
18:07Stop!
18:08Stop at $500, and a spin.
18:11$10,628.
18:14You've got one spin that goes over to the earned column.
18:16One that you still have to deal with.
18:17If you can fight it off, you still are alive, Warren.
18:20Here it comes.
18:23Stop!
18:24Stop at $500.
18:26Warren, that gives you $11,128.
18:31About $1,600 less than Miriam.
18:34One spin left.
18:35You're going to take it in your own hands and win,
18:38or are you going to pass it to Miriam
18:39in hopes that she hits a whammy?
18:41What are you going to do?
18:42$1,600, right?
18:44That's about right.
18:48Big decision.
18:49That's going to be passed.
18:51Miriam, it comes to you.
18:53Warren's hoping you hit a whammy.
18:54If you do, you're out of the game.
18:55More importantly, he wins the game.
18:57One spin will decide whether we've got a champion of new
19:00or we keep one that we thought we had before.
19:03Who knows?
19:04Big bucks.
19:05Everything's at stake.
19:06Stop!
19:06Stop at New York!
19:08You stopped at New York, Miriam, and you get it.
19:11You pulled it out.
19:12You're the winner.
19:14$2,408.
19:16$14,958, Miriam.
