I love these little vignettes that seem to have been written just for Eric Blore. I wish someone would put up the "Susquehanna St. jail" scene from Top Hat.

The waiter played by Eric Blore also played J. Thaddeus Toad in the "Wind in the Willows" segment of Disney's "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" (1949). :)
Let's ditch the homophobia, OK? (Though in truth, all one can say about these remarkable, brilliantly timed characterizations is that they were of effeminate men--not automatically the same thing as gay men.)
I'm not sure if you know this but gay used to be a synonym for happy and I'm pretty sure this person didn't call it that and "the Gay Divorce" is it's real name
love these subtle queer bits. Sadly I could not find the masterpiece of the movie here: could anybody upload the entire 18 minits of the Continental from this movie? It is the most amazing danceclip in existance, musically, cinematografically, choreografically, please, please, please . . .
Subtle? Eric Blore was so nellie, he was about to fly right out of the movie screen.
And there was fussy mama's boy Edward Everett Horton, and fey Erik Rhodes with his ridiculous phony accent. Interesting that Fred and Ginger always seemed to be surrounded by supporting male players who were a bit light in the loafers!

I love this scene. XD
It's more making fun of English people than anything else though.
