This was actually a welterweight title bout. Griffith won this match and the title, only to lose it back to Paret on 9/30/61 and regain it on 3/24/62. Paret died from injuries sustained in that third match.

Absolutely my favorite movie and the source
for one of the movies' classic lines. When
Cody Jarrett (James Cagney) is about to be
blown to bits on that gas tank, he looks
heavenward and shouts, "Made it, Ma! Top
of the world!"

NBC's ill-conceived attempt to imitate
American Bandstand, with Merv Griffin
as host. To give you some idea of how
nobody at NBC seemed to know anything
about the current hit parade, the guest
on the first show was big-band leader
Si Zentner, with his orchestra.

But do you know that I've Got A Secret once tried that?
They invited 100 boys (130, actually) from a local New
York-area Boys' Club and invited them onstage to catch
a bunny. These rabbits, however, were not what you'd
normally think of when you think Easter bunny; they were
brown and generally dirty. Some of the boys went wild and
caught several, some backstage in the women panelists'
dressing rooms. The boys did agree to give them back.
That was the first of several last straws that led to
the firing of Allan Sherman as executive producer.

Is this the same Dick Stewart who was the first
host of ABC's Dream Girl Of '67? Wink Martindale
and Paul Petersen also emceed that show.

Interesting scheduling here. Angel was Jess Oppenheimer's
attempt to duplicate his sucess with I Love Lucy. This show
was Lucy in reverse, to a point. Angel was a young lady from
France married to an American, played by Marshall Thompson
(that's the reverse of Lucy). But she was scatterbrained like
Lucy Ricardo. Whatever happened to Annie Farge, who played
Angel?

This, of course, is not the sitcom, but a show
in the Divorce Court vein.
