"Between Candor & Shame" ep 1-5. William Shatner, Howard DaSilva, Lonny Chapman, Jessica Walter. Show ran for 1 season & 13 episodes from Jan -May 1965. It aired, at the time, opposite Bonanza.
My thoughts exactly! Which is why I originally posted the episodes I’ve got & hope they’re not taken down due to copyright stuff. A lost treasure indeed ....until now.
@@RubyPearls-Shatner-channel Thank you. I had no idea Shatner had done all of this. And there is a real CALL to see all of THESE. He always seems to STAND UP for what is right, and so do YOU!
Fantastic show but likely too thoughtful/intelligent for the average viewer, according to its ratings and sponsors. They didn't call TV "the boob tube" for nothing. Which is why even today the average TV drama is geared to a 14 year old's intelligence.
The inclusion of the commercials of the time added to the presentation of these remarkable TV shows that many people thought were risqué at the time! 10-Q Ruby! Please stay well and safe!! Pax
1965 Two years later, 1967, two boys knocked on a door, unexpectedly it happened to be William Shatner's door. It was around 10pm Halloween night. He told the two boys it was too late and they were too old. And,to this day, I haven't decided on which trick to play. Around that same year, Billy Mumy came to my junior high school. We all lived close to 20th Century Fox. Billy said his favorite show was Star Trek. I thought he was not loyal to Lost in Space. I'm glad he didn't read my mind declaring I was a bad boy, a very bad boy.. And now you know the rest of the story.
I was 10 when these came out. But I did not have access. I would not have understood all the legal things, but I would have understood in my heart the kind of person our Mr. Shatner IS to play these roles, and I would have loved him more than JOHN DAVIDSON (who had a dimple). William Shatner is a REAL HERO to me.
The standard of scripting, acting, photography and cutting is exemplary....and dealing with controversial issues....and you can see where Capt. Kirk came from!
William Shatner is great on his own, but the commercials included is a super bonus! 😊 Just to add, the dialogue and subplots are truly immaculate, mature, and intelligent! Wish we had those 'human elements' these days... Edit: In light of the Balenciaga case, this episode aged well...ageless. Too bad it aired opposite Bonanza😔
When these episodes were airing, we were rushed off to bed, darn school nights, and we were just too young to watch in 1965…remember the commercials so very well, thank you for sharing, their great…Billy
Thanks so much for posting this series! I love old series featuring today's established talent when they were starting out in such a challenging medium. I was to young to watch the series but, some of the Upper West Side filming takes me right back to 1965.🗽
Well, I believe David Koster "mopped up the floor" with Jesse Horrell on camera during their informal debate- exposing him as a hypocrite *and* a fast-buck opportunist.
I really enjoyed this episode, particularly the real-life dilemma that people can get into, and how it can affect them. I couldn't help but think, though, that the writers didn't know how to end the story.
I absolutely love watching these shows...no gore no cursing just had me glued to TV to see what happened next can't ask for better entertainment ....great story lines too.... Sick of watching our new shows people are almost naked and everyone is sleeping with one another let alone the gore and cussing...when has it become ok to glorify the man of the house to leave his wife and children for his new trophy bride....my Grandmother no no no never go for this at all....You stay with your family you raise your family and love your wife until and she loves you until you tour the country in a RV and visit your Grandbabies.... even if it a dream world now.... the ease of the time seems as of a time of integrity trying to defend it defend their families.... everyone is out for themselves and chasing the dollar ...every impulse to be fulfilled at the touch of your finger on your smart phone...we wonder why kids are addicted to the most powerful drugs to be out on the streets and sexuality being exhorted to an all time immoral social tolerance and if we disagree we must be racist...Black and White is now Gray and our earth is falling apart countries are falling apart...anger grows daily...what we should be in acceptance of is ethnic acceptance of equality respect of eachother we are all valuable and those whom are secure need to be leading the lost helping the weak
Fantastic Ford-Ferrari footage from Le Mans 1966 (from 27:39), including sponsorship statements from Enzo Ferrari and Roy Lund ! At least, all they were advertising was engine oil, not tobaccy
Its very strange to see a Ford GT in a 1965 TV commercial on RU-vid in 2021. I knew about the Cobra at that time but Im unsure if I knee about the Ford GT. And Enzo Ferrari standing next to a 330GT. Wow!
So I gather episode 4 is missing? A shame, but any archival project this ambitious is bound to have holes. Thanks for your efforts gathering all of this together.
You gather right. I'm missing episodes 4,8,9, 10, &13. Initially I was only hoping to upload what I have of the "For The People" series. Then I realized how much of Shatner's early work I had copies of that isn't available commercially on DVD, so.... Guess it IS an :archival project", aye? I dare not upload anything that's readily available on DVD.
@@RubyPearls-Shatner-channel That's sensible, and I really appreciate the mix of stuff you've given us to enjoy. Just wanted to echo too the comments about the original ads in this one: irritating perhaps to viewers at the time, but icing on the cake today.
Awful conundrums to deal with, makes you realise how pathetic dealing with Klingons was. Also makes one question what one would do in similar circumstances, and realise what is really important in life. Tense, difficult, painful at times, this show was just too hard on most people to survive beyond a first series.
"Communists knew that the film industry could be a tremendous source of propaganda. Vladimir Lenin said that “of all the arts, for us the most important is cinema.” Grigori Zinoviev, head of the Soviet Comintern, ordered that motion pictures “must become a mighty weapon of communist propaganda and for the enlightening of the widest working masses.” In March 1928, the Soviets held their first Party Conference on Cinema ... The Bolsheviks realized that nowhere was the movie industry as advanced and influential as the United States, especially in Hollywood’s Golden Age. Their American comrades wholeheartedly agreed." ... "...it’s crucial to keep in mind that communism was responsible for the deaths of over 100 million people in the last century, double the combined tolls of World War I and II." www.faithandfreedom.com/the-truth-about-trumbo/
Even in 1965 huh? If they could only see us now. Just speculating - - if the characters continued to follow the course set in this episode, by 2021 the porn publisher would be ruling the world from his media empire, "giving the public what it wants", and Shatner's character would be a disillusioned, hopeless drunk.
very cerebral show, had no idea such intelligent shows were around then. everything else was so childish. how on earth did William Shatner learn all those lines. incredible show, unlike anything other.
Just this one episode so much better than a silly, trite overacted movie like Love Story. Amazing what sticks in popular art and how it changes, always changing.
Lloyd Bridges narrates the first Marlboro commercial. "Champion of morality", "moral decay" - all depend on your point of view. People do not have to look at "pornography", but just because an individual is offended, does that give him or her the right to prevent me from looking at it or reading it, or viewing it? This episode resolved nothing, except to expose a zealot.
Great tobacco advertising - how is it that RU-vid doesn't ban it ? Surely some law against it ?! And the poor horses, left out in the rain, while the big roughy-toughy cowboys shelter in their waterproof coats under a tarp! If only they had invented horse-cigarettes
Very tight moral conflict, if a bit too subtle at times. I wasnt sure if Shatners character was hero or villain at times. But I dont like his acceptance of censorship. It makes todays TV look even worse than I thought it is.
"In 1971, in the United States, the tobacco industry voluntarily removed from radio and television all cigarette advertising. Following this act, per capita cigarette consumption, which had been declining since the 1964 surgeon general's report, leveled off and then increased. This unexpected trend may be related to the fact that as the cigarette ads were removed from the airwaves, so too were the cigarette counter-ads in the form of public service announcements (PSAs)... These public service antismoking messages, which had appeared from July 1967 to January 1971 along with cigarette ads as a result of the FCC's Fairness Doctrine, apparently had been far more effective in reducing smoking than the pro-smoking ads in increasing it. For this reason it was in the tobacco industry's best interest to remove ads from radio and television, and to shift marketing dollars to promotionals and giveaways."
@@vidpie And there was me thinking that if you suppress something people want to know what it is you don't want them to hear. Anyway, advertising isn't speech, it's an act - of promoting business
@@fredneecher1746 The Internet notes the Supreme Court extended some First Amendment protections to advertising beginning in the 1970s: "...the Court also noted that speech does not lose its protection simply because money is transacted through it. To support that claim, the Court cited political communications involving political contributions and expenditures. Thus, Blackmun concluded that commercial speech, even a communication such as advertising, which merely suggests a business transaction, is protected by the First Amendment. Blackmun also noted, however, that simply because this type of speech is protected speech does not mean that it is immune from government regulation. This type of speech is entitled to less protection than political speech and can be regulated if false or misleading."
The following year, Jacqueline Susann wrote and published her famous novel, "Valley of the Dolls"- which became an international best seller, and was accused in some areas of the country of being "pornographic". Yet it was adapted into a successful 1967 movie {although somewhat tamer than the original novel}.
