You Bet Your Life, Vol. 2 [DVD]
The masterful host of the radio quiz program You Bet Your Life brought it to television and made it an immediate fan favorite. Groucho's special brand of quick-witted bantering carried over beautifully in the video version of the already popular show. The premise for the show allows three couples to compete for cash prizes by answering questions presented to them. Clearly the secret to the show's success was not just the 'secret word' that contestants needed to know to earn extra bonus money or the jackpot question for the time-appropriate big bucks. The wise-cracking Groucho Marx really delivers the goods on these four laugh-heavy episodes just dripping with unrehearsed exchanges between the master himself and sidekick announcer George Fenneman.
'Program 56' (1950s): World famous traveler and explorer Mrs. Zeta Wells joins Groucho along with her incredible talking parrot. Zeta reveals the details of her visit to the Island and how it inspired the story of the Amazon Warriors. Arthur Marelli had no formal education but managed to survive the fighting in the Mexican Revolution; he did as a soldier in both the Army and Navy. (25 Min • B&W)
'Program 58' (1950s): Straight from Vic Tanny's workout gym onto the show, Cathy Smith dazzles Groucho with her beauty to the point that he keeps losing his train of thought and then he is crushed to learn that her boyfriend is none other than Mr. America. And speaking of 'royalty,' Nancy Shepard, the rodeo stunt rider contestant, is the current Miss Texas! Yahoo! (25 Min • B&W)
'Program 79' (1950s): The light shines brightly on LA Dodger great Don Drysdale and his new wife Ginger. Drysdale, then only 23 years old, is in direct contrast to 93-year-old contestant Louis Rich, who shares his secret for long life - a glass of wine every day at dinner and eating peanuts for lunch. (25 Min • B&W)
'Program 89' (1950s): An American airlines stewardess graces the show and describes the transformation from propeller planes to jets while 'Crash' Corrigan discusses his longtime cowboy acting career in some 60 plus films. The clincher though is Joanna Lee, a darling unmarried actress who oddly enough teams up with Dick Mastethan, a religious editor for the L.A. Times. (25 Min • B&W)
Approx. Run Time: 104 Mins. on 1 DVD • Color

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
