Distinguished actor Basil Rathbone, best known for his role as Sherlock Holmes in the 1930s and 40s, hams it up with Milton Berle in a comedy sketch set on the high seas on The Texaco Star Theater, broadcast live September 29, 1951. Comic actors Milton Frome and Arnold Stang also appear.
This is absolutely hilarious... and amazing. I've been a rabid Basil Rathbone fan for years, but this is the first time I've seen his slapstick comedy side. His comic timing is perfect! Thanks for uploading this.
