Bar none, the funniest opening scene in any movie ever🤣

Timon from The Lion King

FANTASTIC!!!😂😂😂

I didn't know that Gregory Hines had such a great voice! Thank you for posting this. It was an inspired opening.

Two wonderful entertainers

Oh the chemistry! Thanks for posting this I can't stop smiling. Simply wonderful!

What a gem, I am sorry I dont know Gregory Hines RIP, but love Nathan from The Producers, which is how I got here! Both entertaining and such fun, so talented, such a long time ago but quality travels well. Thanks so much, bravo.

So this is amazing! RIP Gregory Hines.

May I have your autograph , Mr Bronski?

Gregory has a wonderful voice ❤

This is Broadway at its best. Don't make them like this anyway. . .

In 1990 I was selling sneakers in Paragon Sporting Goods in Manhatten, NYC. Mr. Hines came in with his son, and I sold him a pair of sneakers for his son. He is very short was a very nice man just like any other customer in the store. FYI: I also sold Former Mayor David Dinkins (while he was running for mayor) a pair of Stan Smith tennis sneakers. He was a big-time tennis player.

One of the greatest movie openings! One of my other favorite bits from this picture is when Jack Benny asks the one Nazi if he's heard of Joseph Tura (his character). "Oh yes, I saw him performance once. What he does to Shakespeare, we are now doing to Poland!"

J.K Simmons at 0:24???

One of my favourite opening sequences from any film anywhere ever.

I memorized both parts of this back in 1995, and yet it would still take me about 5 more years to realize I was gay...

Amazing! <3 Love this so much!!

the film wasnt released after carol lombard died in a plane crash 2 weeks before release...shame excelent propaganda and farce...

YES!!!! This is awesome!!! Great job, fellas!!

How did I not know this existed? Utter perfection!

R.I.P., Big Bill.

Beware of anyone offering "free stuff" as an enticement to vote for them!

To whom it may concern: My great uncle Tom Dugan is playing Bronksy/Adolph Hitler in this film and is in the clip. Would it be possible that you could accredit him in the info? Thank you!

I didn't know Jack Benny was in a lot of movies. I love the Jack Benny Program. Still makes me laugh.

Gregory's booty shake on "Big Spender"!!! I miss him soooo much!!!!

Nathan Lane was filming the Birdcage then, and he had lost a lot of weight back them.

Nathan Lane, always so cute. Great singer, actor and dancer.

miss Gregory Hines...

LOVE!

Greg is a ridiculous tenor (check Dreamgirls and music that makes me dance)

Gregory Hines............wonderful.......both.

A great movie. This version was the first of two that I know of. Made in 1942 (the year I was made, too ;) ), starring Jack Benny and Carole Lombard, it was hilarious. Mel Brooks remade it in 1983, using pretty much the same script, and starring himself and Ann Bancroft. Well done, and in color, like a lot of remakes, it was better if you hadn't seen the original.

This video helped me realize I was gay. :-)

omg Gregory HINES was such a nice man. I met him in 82 and he told me to Keep dancing! Rip, Gregory. And Nathan is one of my favorite performers. Nice video.

Great film which was re-done in 1983 with Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft.

Amazing!!!!!'

Lol @GH 2:10.

Love, love, love the homage to Faith Prince's portrayal of Miss Adelaide from Guys and Dolls at 3:52 ... a performance Nathan Lane played opposite as Nathan Detroit in the same production. Terrific inclusion to this medley.

Big Spender is my FAVORITE! These transitions are REMARKABLE!

Can we please find a way to clone and miniaturize Nathan? Everyone should have one.

Gregory Hines was fantastic! Love him!

Nathan Lane is the voice actor of Timon from The Lion King

Brilliant!

Thank you thank you thank you so much for posting this video. Brought back memories and tears. It's so sad that Gregory Hines is no longer with us. This is hands-down my favorite Tony Awards moment ever in my more than 50 years of watching the Tonys. And why was it left off Christopher Isherwood's list of show-stopping Tony moments in today's NYTimes? He must have been in the bathroom during that fabulous 6 minutes!

fabulous!

Totally just re-watched this 3 times to steal "choreography". Thanks! xoxo
