Another aspect of propaganda is too make your enemy appear ridiculous. Sixty years later, Trey Parker and Matt Stone handle Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein in the same manner!

My grandad just said he first heard this at dance n 1941 and he said everyone went mental when it was dropped. It was kinda like rave music of the time. Apparently at the dances the men would take a mixture of painkillers and fish oils to dance all night to it whereas the women would shake up bottles of lemonade and slimming pills and sip that all night.. Big band was clubbing back then. Suprised the scene hasn't been researched more.

Outstanding! Imagine what he could have done with good 21st-century digital video editing equipment!

@TheCrimsonsGhosts I don't know, but it's possible that your technicolor print was never "tinted" green, it may have turned green because of age. I was projectionist at a drive in, I seen tons of 35 mm celluloid and it was often in less than perfect condition. Acetate was even worse, I seen very little of that as it was flammable and they outlawed it.

Robert Arthur's favourite movie! :-)

This is finally the best version of it on youtube.

Source Wikipedia: The film so enraged Joseph Goebbels that reportedly he ran out of the screening room kicking chairs and screaming profanities.

Keep up the good sense of humour :)

@StanTheRecordMan What a pity he didn't fall down the apple and pears. Good way to add injury to insult -_-

@StanTheRecordMan And that's an endorsement if ever I heard one. :)

@StanTheRecordMan I am actually surprised this was ever shown in Germany! My mother remembers seeing this in the cinema during the war and she said the whole audience were in tears with laughter.
