This is great! I could see the punchline coming a mile away, but very well done.

I had to think of this TV commercial - for Germans to learn better English - under this thread:

A priceless scene. Sessue Hayakawa somehow appears apprehensive at the notion of accidentally being body-slammed by Roscoe. Besides Hayakawa, was there any dramatic star who could lay claim to appearing with two of Paramount's biggest comedy attractions from two different eras - in Sessue's case, Ro...

Pretty funny session thanks to the team's reactions to the questions. Meanwhile the panel guesses three other comedy teams before getting it right.

Starts at the 4-minute mark. English with Spanish subtitles. Harry at 58 is at his most animated possibly since HIS NEW MAMA (1924), thanks to Jules White's off the rails direction.

If you compare this scene to a Kino or Lobster edition (63 minutes) or the latest Eureka/Cohen edition (70 minutes), you'll immediately see the ...

Hi Ed, Which Blu-ray (or DVD) version would you recommend that runs with a bit more pep? Hi Rift, Well, I had a fairly long reply written up, got interrupted, and lost everything! So now, to keep it brief - there are 3 authorized Blu-Rays to date: 1) 2010 Kino on Video - out of print but many copie...
