Really? I was only 7 in 1960, so it must have aired at some point later than that. I don't know if I'd remember it that clearly from that early an age, but I guess I could.

Just looked it up on IMDB. It mentioned Paul Frees as the actor playing John Beresford Tipton, who I think we only heard as 'The Voice' of the Millionaire. He was the narrator of the movie "Wild In the Streets", in 1968, the original "Don't trust anyone over 30", movie. He was also the voice of the troll, Bombur, in the animated "The Hobbit" , and a Goblin AND Elrond in "The Return of the King"!

He must have been a popular voice actor, because he also did a bunch of voices for those animated Christmas specials like the Rudolph shows, Frosty the Snowman, Nestor, the Long Eared Donkey, etc.
