CLAUDE RAINS BLOOPERS

Claude Rains --- One of my favorite actors ---
These clips are rare since consummate actor Claude Rains usually always knew his lines and memorized entire scripts. The film scenes are in order as follows:
1. Hearts Divided (1936)
2. The Prince and the Pauper (1937)
3. White Banners (1938)
4. Deception (1946) --- Actually Bette Davis (off screen) purposely flubs the lines and Claude Rains doesn't hiccup nor belch in the scene (God no!). It was an added humorous sound effect by the video company.

Where did you get that last blooper,the one in Deception?I have seen the other ones before but not that one.I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I heard Bette off screen say,"no,hot as hell."Priceless.

The scene was on the blooper DVD that I have.

Claude Rains was so very awesome. Total fan to this day.

He was brilliant...and not ONE Academy Award; such a travesty! Just read a much overdue biography of him; lots of interesting anecdotes and things I never knew, such as the aforementioned loss of sight in his right eye.

That was fun to watch. Most the bloopers I've seen have been from the last 20 years of so. It's fun watching the screw ups of an old time classic actor.

Jinkies! I did not know he was nearly blind in one eye. Didn't know he'd fought in WWI...though I knew fellow Brit actor Herbert Marshall lost a leg in that same war & hid it from his movie fans QUITE well! I hope to someday read the book his daughter co-wrote about him. How fascinating that off screen had a strong Cockney accent! THANKS so very much for sharing such fascinating trivia! I TOTALLY agree that he should be better remembered! And Bette Davis' fave co-star! :-)

@JubalCalif You're welcome! He taught at RADA, if I recall. Fascinating man - nearly blind in one eye from being gassed in WWI... according to his daughter, when he wasn't "on" (working or in public mode), he had an almost impenetrable Cockney accent... Just so many interesting facts! He should be better remembered!

@anton1990

You got that right! One of cinema's all time great voices! Such a charismatic actor...always suave, sophisticated & debonair! THANKS for your insightful comment !!! :-)

@DrDespicable

I am delighted you pointed that out! Most Rains fans don't know that before emigrating to America he was an acting teacher over in Jolly Ol' England! Thanks for your comment !!!

My sister had a crush on him.

@doctornoooo His best line (and dirtiest) in "Deception" was: "Good evening, my dear. Why, you look positively majestic-- I think I'd better remain seated."

[BarnabasFrid]

Why bleep the first "Oh GOD DAMN!"??? It's the funniest one!
