Walt Disney's "The Happiest Millionaire" 'There Are Those'

[CommandUltra2]

Who else thinks that Mrs. Duke's blue dress might have been pretty if not for that stupidly placed bow?

[CommandUltra2]

Haha! Poor John! The way he keeps cutting in, and I always laugh at the last 2: Chopped liver and poison dart-- I mean, raisin tart! Sounding so desperate - then he looks so relieved at the end! Oh yes, John Lawless is my favorite character in this classic Disney movie!

"Oh, you mean the New York Telephone directory?" At the risk of being old meme, the only appropriate response is "PWN3D."

Man I agree with aunt marry 110%!

[NTValerie]

A true battle of wits,I agree, in which is a rare & I'm afraid, a lost art

[ddbjg]

i love this song

[TheSkandranon]

I love the little battle of wits between these two women,

[Bladepaw18]

I feel so sorry for Tommy Steele's character! LOL But he handles it so well. :)

Gladys Cooper was Mrs Higgins in My Fair Lady but She didn't sing then.

Glorious scene!

[Abbeysums]

This is a great scene! "and there are those who wear bibs when the eat"...lol. Two great actresses here a delight to watch.

This is my favorite scene from this wonderful Disney film. Such a delightfully clever little "cat" fight between the Drexels and the Dukes. "The Happiest Millionaire" is real masterpiece from Walt Disney. I don't understand why it doesn't receive more attention as a real classic film.

GREAT dress on Gladys Cooper!! Are there any biographies of her available?

[Shin2114]

I love this song! It shows the opinion of those of Old Money had for the Nouveau Riche and vice versa. At this time they were always competing as the Old Money believe the Nouveau Riche to be those who would blow through their money as soon as they have it and do not know the way the rich are supposed to behave while the newly rich wanted to show that they had just as much propiety as the old money.

This song--and Bye-yum-pum-pum--are my favorites from this flick...but I have to say the whole movie is kind of a sickening paean to wealth and class snobbery, isn't it?

[spndxslt]

indeed

[MearickLee]

Just awesome, I always loved where these two are snipping at each other. . .but in such a subtle way. xD

[broadway4wenchs]

I love this movie, but this song is still my very favorite.

[akhenaten1881]

[Jabe88]

Gerladine is awesome

[1849149]

"poison dart, I mean raisin tart?" ha!

[amgor2000]

are they really singing or are they dubbed?

[cricketrecords]

They are really singing.

[rlight4God]

i laugh throughout this entire movie, but this whole scene is simply classic!

"ohh, you mean the new york telephone directory?!"  haha

[ramoneandfatone]

"hardly."

haha

[BeatBuddy]

This scene reminds me of Oscar Wilde, where the characters insult each other with grace and finesse.

Gladys Cooper was the ideal mother of Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady. And during the 1920s, she was the most popular stage actress in the world.

[Dragonsnog]
