00:00You're watching Game Show Network.
00:06Tonight, these four people need to compete for the prizes of a lifetime on...
00:13The Price is Right, presented by...
00:16Spydell, makers of watch bands for him, for her.
00:20Spydell Photo Idents and Spydell Cufflink and Tri-Clip Sets.
00:24And now, your host on The Price is Right, Bill Collins.
00:32Good morning.
00:35Thank you all very much.
00:37Hello, and thank you all.
00:40You're real sweet and we appreciate it.
00:41Hi there, and welcome to The Price is Right.
00:43Say, as usual, a little later on, we are going to announce the winner of the fabulous Big Wheel Showcase,
00:48so you stick around. The winner may be you.
00:51Right now, though, we say hello to the four real nice people.
00:54First of all, last week's winner and defending champion, Mrs. Irene DeBond,
00:59a farmer's wife from English Town, New Jersey.
01:01This is her second consecutive week.
01:03Thus far, she's won a total of $8,388 worth of merchandise.
01:12Now, you said you had two boys, Irene.
01:14Do you have any other children?
01:16Yes, I do, Bill.
01:17I have four children altogether, two boys and two girls.
01:19Which is mixing it up pretty nicely, that's all I have to say.
01:22Mr. Paul Jones, a salesman next from Simpsonville, South Carolina.
01:26Paul, where do you work?
01:27I work in a furniture store.
01:28Oh, in Simpsonville?
01:30Right.
01:31Is that a small town?
01:33That's about as rural as you can get.
01:35Well, yeah.
01:37And I can get pretty rural, too, Paul.
01:39Let's say hello to Mrs. Grace Armando, a receptionist in Colony, New York.
01:43What does your husband do, Grace?
01:44He owns a gas station.
01:46Uh-huh.
01:46And you're a receptionist.
01:48You're not a receptionist in a gas station, though.
01:49No, I'm not.
01:50I work for an optical company.
01:52And happy to have you with us.
01:53Next, Mr. Stanford Camel, a bus driver from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
01:57Are you a long-distance driver, Stanford?
01:59No, Don.
02:00I work most of our workers rurally in the city there itself and the suburbs.
02:06Okay.
02:07Are you married?
02:08Yes.
02:08Yeah.
02:09Any children?
02:09Two children.
02:10Well, and dandy.
02:11Now, to start all of you off right, in front of each of you is the gift package from Spidell.
02:15It has a set of men's and ladies' watch bands, photo items, and a matched set of jewelry.
02:20You just take them and put them right down there.
02:23Now, Mr. Camel, a moment ago, it was probably the pressure, you inadvertently called me Don.
02:29I know you realize that my name is really Ralph.
02:32But I'm glad you did because it reminds me of something very interesting.
02:36Ladies and gentlemen, here in the studio and throughout the whole big, fat NBC television network,
02:40our announcer, Don Pardo, and his wife had been waiting for 12 months for an event
02:45that occurred just about three minutes before we went on the air.
02:49Don is now the proud father of his six, a baby girl named Kathy.
02:54Very bad.
03:02I'll tell you, Don.
03:03All right, everybody, let's play.
03:05We wish him, naturally, the very best of everything.
03:07Let's play The Price is Right.
03:08You bid for the merchandise we present.
03:09Now, the person who bids the highest without going over the actual retail value wins the item.
03:13They get to keep it, naturally, forevermore.
03:15Now, the big winner at the end of tonight's program gets a chance to come back next week,
03:19take on three new challengers.
03:20Now, if you are all ready, let's take a look over there at the striped tent
03:25and see the first item to go up for bids tonight on The Price is Right.
03:33It's an MG, the exciting sports car built by the British Motor Corporation.
03:39This four-cylinder model A is capable of 100 miles per hour sports car performance.
03:45Its distinctive styling includes curved windshields, adjustable bucket-type seats, and a carpeted interior.
03:51It has four forward speeds and is equipped with heater, defroster, twin horns, and white-wall tires.
03:58This jaunty MG sports car is yours if the price is right.
04:03Price Authority, Hambro Automotive Corporation.
04:07I don't know whether Daddy Dawn mentioned it or not, but this is the brightest red sports car you ever
04:12saw,
04:12which reminds me that Price is Right is being broadcast in color and in black and white tonight.
04:17So if you've got it on at home, it's as bright as red can be.
04:19Mrs. Dubon, our champion, open the bidding, and then we'll talk about minimum bids after that.
04:24You open anywhere you want.
04:28Bill, I'll open the bidding with $1,500.
04:32You're going to start way up there?
04:33All right, $1,500.
04:34Now, here is the situation.
04:36From here on in, either bid $100 over the minimum, or at first time around, you may underbid if you
04:44want.
04:44I'm not saying you should.
04:45Mr. Jones, as rural as he can get, so he says, make your bid, sir.
04:48Wouldn't I look good riding home in that?
04:51You would look sensational.
04:53You wouldn't be rural anymore.
04:54You'd be sporty.
04:56I'll bid $1,800.
04:58Thank you, sir.
04:58Mrs. Armando?
05:00$1,950.
05:01$1,950 to Mr. Camel?
05:03I'll bid $2,000.
05:04You'd have to go at least $100 over the top bid, which is $1,950, or underbid, if you'd like.
05:09$2,050.
05:10Okay, thank you, Mr. Camel.
05:11Back to our champion, Mrs. DeBarn.
05:15I'll bid $2,300.
05:18$2,300 to Mr. Jones?
05:21$2,400.
05:23All right, $2,400 to Mrs. Armando.
05:25$2,450.
05:26No, we got that $100.
05:28$25.
05:29$25.
05:29Mr. Camel.
05:31$2,600.
05:32Back to Mrs. DeBarn.
05:33$2,600 is the bid.
05:41$2,600.

06:10I'll freeze, Bill.
06:11You freeze, and the bidding ends right there.
06:13It's all over.
06:14Now, there's your MG Red Sports Car, and here are the bids from left to right.
06:17$2,700.
06:18$2,800.
06:20$2,500.
06:21And $2,900.
06:23And in here, the actual retail value.
06:26It is $2,658.60.
06:32The winner is Mrs. Armando from upstate New York.
06:36Congratulations to you.
06:38Will you pass that along to her?
06:40You got it.
06:43Now, Mrs. Armando, you have a bonus.
06:46Oh, boy.
06:47Yes.
06:48You can own an exciting MG sports car, and now we want you to look like a real sport behind
06:54the wheel.
06:55So, here is your bonus.
06:58A complete wardrobe of sports clothes for you.
07:01Look at that.
07:02A collection of Fruit of the Loom coordinated separates, including colorful blouses, skirts, shorts, and slacks, and cotton broadcloth,
07:13Dacron cotton blends, cotton sheen, poplin, and woven plaids.
07:16And for your husband, when he's not working at the gas station, a complete man's ensemble of Puritan sportswear, featuring
07:24you, band lawn sweaters and shirts, plus cabana sets, bathing suits, sports shirts, Bermuda sports.
07:29He'll be a sport.
07:30And it's all for you.
07:31Congratulations to you.
07:32There you are.
07:36Oh, I have another point here.
07:39I got to tell you this.
07:40It'll probably take a week or 10 days before your MG arrives at your home.
07:46So, while you are waiting for your MG to arrive, you can speed to and from your job as receptionist
07:52with this bonus right here.
07:54And there it is.
08:00And our bike rider, by the way, is Gene Laflotte.
08:04He will give you a five-minute lesson right after the show.
08:08Congratulations.
08:11All right.
08:12All right.
08:14If everybody's ready, we're ready on the Price is Right.
08:16Take a look over there to your left, and let's see the next item to go up for bids.
08:26The Splendor of Pearls.
08:29A delicate strand of perfectly matched cultured pearls graduated in size from 3 millimeters to 8 millimeters.
08:3799 cultured pearls, each individually knotted and accented by a white gold clasp with a gleaming diamond and two cabochon
08:47rubies.
08:47This glamorous pearl necklace is yours for the best bid.
08:51Price Authority, Johnston Jewels Limited, Waldorf Astoria.
08:55Okay.
08:56Everybody's had a chance to look at it.
08:58It's going to be a one-bid item.
09:00Thank you, Penny.
09:04Is she curtsy?
09:05I saw her do that before.
09:06That's cute.
09:06Now, it's going to be a one-bid item.
09:08You're going to get one chance and one chance only.
09:11Goes to the person who bids the highest without going over.
09:13Mr. Jones, you're going to be first, sir.
09:15This is your only bid.
09:17I'll bid $165.
09:21$165.
09:21That's your last bid.
09:22Anywhere at all, over, under, anywhere.
09:24Mrs. Armando.
09:24$250.
09:26$250.
09:27Mr. Camel, anywhere you want to bid.
09:31$266.
09:32$266.
09:33Mrs. Dubon, a one-bid item.
09:34You have the final bid.
09:36I'll say $290.
09:39$290.
09:40All right, that's it.
09:41The bids are in.
09:41From left to right, $290, $165, $250, and $266.
09:48You recall, you're all given a chance to examine it closely.
09:58Actual retail value, $34.50.
10:04The winner is nobody.
10:06You all overbid.
10:08And that is a cry in shame.
10:10We do that every once in a while.
10:12We do that every once in a while to see that you're on your medal.
10:15Now, champion, Mrs. Dubon, would you take a look at the price tag, $34.50?
10:19Now, would you just take a look at what's underneath and tell everybody at home what's under this?
10:24Open this up and tell us what that is.
10:25The sum of $1,000, a check.
10:28A check for $1,000.
10:30This is a signed check for $1,000.
10:33Now, if any of you had been smart enough not to go over the actual retail price for the pearls,
10:37that $1,000 check would have been yours as a bonus.
10:39However, that is the way it goes.
10:41Isn't that awful?
10:43And because of legal reasons to keep the bank and everything,
10:47I have to destroy the check, which is easily done by destroying the signature.
10:50And I would like to say that for years, I've been wanting to tear up Goodson and Todman.
10:57And there they are.
11:01Say a point here, check is no longer any good.
11:04The bids are instantaneously recorded on our tote machines made by the American Totalizator Company,
11:09a subsidiary of Universal Products Incorporated.
11:12Now, along about now, get ready at home because we are ready with the name of the winner of the

16:17Thank you, lefties.

16:48Any choice?

16:50I'm glad you said that.
16:51If you'd have said relish, we'd have been dead.

16:54Girls, will you bring out a little mustard?
16:57Six-foot jar of mustard.
16:59There it comes.

18:56Oh, I'll say $4,100.
