Another perfect scene with Jean Arthur in the perfect screwball comedy. This scene has almost no dialogue and is so meticulously edited, directed and played; it feels like a silent comedy, with only images to tell the story. This scene is one of the many reasons why I love old comedies.

  • I love how she puts the blindfold on the piggy bank. Jean was such a great and talented actress its a shame she is virtually unknown to today's audiences.

  • can someone put the whole film up?

  • As has been pointed out before there can be no mistaking Jean Arthur for, say, Carole Lombard. Both were extremely individual and accomplished comedic performers but it is a difficult call..who best exemplified screwball comedy in the 30s?

  • This is one of my favorite scenes ever with Jean. She is absolutely perfect in it. If anyone knows what name she calls the piggy bank please let me know--I have been trying to find out ever since I first saw the movie.  Someone in another post said "Walter" but I don't think that's what she says--if you listen closely and watch her closely as well it sounds like there's an "f" in there--like she says "Wofford" or something like that.

    "The Devil And Miss Jones"

    "The lady Takes A chance"

    "A Foriegn Affair" directed by the brilliant Billy Wilder
