Who Says Vaudeville Is Dead.wmv

Speaking of whipped cream pies. This was my final project for a video production class I took at American University during the summer of 1970. We weren't professional actors, but we had fun. My concept was to pair the saddest music I knew (Shubert's Unfinished Symphony) with the silliest slapstick and pratfalls and see what happens.

I appear briefly, about 2/3 of the way through the piece. BTW, we learned the hard way that you shouldn't actually use canned, sweetened whipped cream in the pies. It stings when it gets in your eyes and doesn't hold up under the hot lights. Use whipped egg whites!

If you're out there somewhere, my apologies to Lucy and Ron!
