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. Script by Clyde Bruckman copies the finale of Harold Lloyd's PROFESSOR BEWARE, released a scant 5 years earlier. If Harold and his attorneys caught this one, who knows, it could've cost Columbia another $40,000.

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:
