Elaine Stritch (Someday My Prince Will Come) HQ

[@brucebarton4645]

This obviously has to be from the Dean Martin show. Which had some funny skits. Popped up on my feed because watched an Elaine Stritch video. Love her. Ernest Borgnine was hysterical in this. They all three played it perfectly.

[@borobi2]

Three giants, ALL brilliant!!

[@itstheburnz]

Huh? Where's the clicker? Quick!

[@LindseyWoolsey]

Lolll side cracking funny....and Elaine trying to play is straight through 😁

WHAT FUN! Cute, goofy and funny as Hell they all were here.....Forever blessings on all their souls......ESPECIALLY ELAINE'S! Who had all the dulcet singing tones of a BUZZSAW but was one HELLUVA' FANTASTIC BROAD :-)!

[@CarmenZynger]

Thanks Vod! Love all of them but especially Miss Elaine's God rest her soul, then get her on stage again ...

[@DorothyBishop]

Oh this made me cry....I am laughing so hard!!!! And also missing this day and age....BRILLIANT.

[@itstheburnz]

You must not get out much....

Like Snow White said when she was standing outside the photo mat . “Someday my prints will come.”

Mermaid Man is on it!

[@jdppianist]

I love it! What year was this?

[@MrBilliefan]

1971

[@gymnastix]

Yes, and what television program was this?

[@MrBilliefan]

The Dean Martin Show

[@diddymuck]

ernie doing broad comedy!!! rare!

[@AlexWaylan]

I'd say sometime in the early 70s. That was her Company hair.

[@mzmiller52]

He married Ethel merman for a day. That was pretty broad comedy too.

[@jeremey-stuartdefishberg4064]

@@mzmiller52 I could just imagine Ethel shouting like a sailor from underneath the covers, to be let out.

[@fiomcc8298]

😂😂😂

[@gname8252]

it's funny cuz it's true.

[@jeremey-stuartdefishberg4064]

To a large extent, the stereotypical effeminate movements are a shorthand, one that lets the audience know why, without long explanation, the song/skit turned out the way that it did. Elaine Stritch may have sung like a bullfrog and she may have missed a few notes but the result was perfect comedy and that's what this piece was. I've seen her live « At Liberty » and she gave one hell of a performance !

[@jochemb.1748]

I guess, this a little gay sketch was quite sensational for the time! Is this Dean Martin at the end?

[@miamiracer]

I know it;s not politically correct by today's standard but, hey it's a really funny skit and I for one am not offended one bit. If we cannot find humor in our idiosyncrasy, then we are in for a rough time.

[@boffo63]

Comedy is timeless. Now get off your high horse and act like you want tobe treated.

[@gymnastix]

Mr. Ethel Merman (for about a minute) in this clip, here, with Elaine Stritch.

[@loggats]

hardly rare! but a lot more subtle and funny.

Borgnine has better looking legs.

[@johnflynn9619]

Elaine was Great. But, off key on this song. RIP

[@maszlagma]

Ah, gay jokes at that time were very rare weren't they? :)

[@JiveDadson]

Not at all. But the gaiety had to be outwardly closeted. The two men could not smooch, for example. There were lots of performers whose personas were swishy.

[@Vodkastinger]

oops peter i inadvertently disliked your comment, though i don't dislike it at all

[@Autostade67]

Oh, right...there was once a world where people had a sense of humour...

[@josephhaynes3017]

I’m writing a letter to daddy , horrible voice.

[@JiveDadson]

She made a career out of playing drunks with cigarette-voice on Broadway. Ladies Who Lunch from Company is a classic.

[@vincentneale2620]

Dreadful

[@itstheburnz]

What a stinker bit....

[@retlaw1976]

she is a great actress but a horrible singer

[@nursegrace7492]

Yeah,,,,let's all laugh and LAUGH at the funny, mincing homosexuals. I'm glad we're past that era.

[@MIS315]

Nurse Grace you're still in that era, things haven't changed much

[@chevydude658]

Oh for etes sake. Lighten up. It's funny.

[@jpetersgoyanks]

Congratulations, your woke... your also a pill. I'm all for equalization and anti-homophobia but let's leave comedy alone. Comedy has to exist from a place that the viewer already knows wrong from right and we can step in any direction to have a laugh. Actually, all art should come from that place but I understand mass art has been propagandized for too long and we need to keep it in check. Still, let's just have a laugh. FYI: I am NOT using the word "woke" in a derogatory sense but purely for comedic purposes... I am NOT anti-woke at all, I'm all for it but all things have a limit. Also, I don't really know if you are a pill just joking about the tone of your comment.

[@nylesodom6509]

Agreed. I'm gay, but it is damn hilarious. Plus... Elaine is just.... great.

[@thekingofmoney2000]

There's still plenty of homophobia, I don't think we are completely passed it.

[@bensherman6644]

Lol, Elaine was never a singer, she simply either shouted or spoke the lyrics completely off key, how awful
