How this guide is filed
Beat the Clock pitted married couples against messy stunts and a ticking clock — proto-Fear Factor in formal wear, Bud Collyer's cheerful chaos. Prime stunt-competition of early television. Watch it now to see mid-century dignity lose to whipped cream and water tanks, on purpose, for prizes and the pleasure of the mess.
