I said it before but Sig Rumann is hilarious, and I love the guy who suggests that his favorite sister's son might be too dumb for the position.

How many Oscars did Sig Rumann win?

I don't know the answer but it better be many.



[kakadoodoo3000]

where have movies like these, gone? now it's all f this, and f that. so sad! i miss the olden days!

[Uuuurk]

anyone know if someone has put up a royal scandal from 1996?

[grainofsandfan]

OMG. Youtubers are the best. It's a great thing to be able to see the classics of art, moving pictures, and see it without commercials.

I don't know how long it will last but it's wonderful and it gives people an opportunity to see great art, something not seen in the theatre, or even on CD.

Funny how three involved with this film (Preminger, Bankhead & Price) would all end up playing villains on the campy 60s Batman series many years later.

Great fun, love Tallulah! Thank you for a delightful evening!

[DiabolicalAngel]

Is that Tallulah cursing the guy out in that foreign language at the beginning? Sounds like Russian..which I guess would make sense LOL

[Vensanna]

She said : Old devil ! Old fool ! Thief ! Pot-bellied crook !

That demonstates Catherine's vocabulary, I guess.

[SpaceCowboy641]

@Vensanna I think Tallu would outrank Catherine in a cursing duell ! No one can top Talllu !!!

[SpaceCowboy641]

@DiabolicalAngel I have no clue, what language this could be. I have a little bit russian knowledge (on roadkill level), but it sounded for me not vvery , more like "Hollywood-Alien-YaketiYak".

[SpaceCowboy641]

@DiabolicalAngel KtG was a german princess: born in Stettin, Pomerania, Prussia on 2nd May 1729 as Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst-Dornburg. If she had cursed in a tantrum she would have used the german language. I understand German utterly (native speaker) and can swear, it's absolutely not German ...

[SilverLightSpecial]

Very cleverly written, & unusually risque for the time.. Now I know why Tallulah Bankhead was so respected as an actress. She is superb!

[wownouser]

This is funny!

[Chowringhee]

Absolutely superb Alfred Newman score!

[konway87]

I agree. its such a great score.

Well, thanks for the post! Recently went through the tedious process of uploading one of Lubitsch's (less costumed) classics myself: "Design for Living"

So if you're interested click on me.
