Don José, Gertrude Stein & Alice B. Toklas from "Adventures of Picasso" by Tage Danielsson (Sweden, 1978). The best comedy I've ever seen!

[@remkojas3282]

Loved it - Toklas with just the right amount of spunk.

Bernard Cribins as Gertrude Stein. There's a picture I won't forget in a hurry!

[@Quzinqa1122]

A great scene from a great flim!!! I recomend everyone to watch "Picassos äventyr" (The adventures of Picasso).

[@giri.goyo_yt]

Spoons Alice!!!

This is really funny. The man who play Toklas here, is the english actor Wilfrid Brambell. He played Paul McCartney's father in A Hard Day's Night, but also Steptoe in the classic british comedy serie Steptoe and Son. This show was later remade in Sweden as Albert och Herbert, with Carl Åke Cederhök playing Brambell's part. Brambell was very big - and very controversial - in England. He was gay and sort of a paedophile, convicted for seduction of under-aged boys.

[@frazzleface753]

No, he was never convicted of that. He had a conviction for importuning at a public lavatory, i.e. cruising for gay sex, when homosexuality was illegal in the UK, and having gay relationships was almost impossible. The paedophile allegations resurfaced well after his death in the wake of the Savile abuse scandal. It's said that Brambell visited the island of Jersey and had underage boys brought to him from a children's home that's been linked to sex abuse. However, these allegations have never been substantiated or proven. Brambell did visit Jersey, but that's all we know for certain.

[@Stroheim333]

@@frazzleface753 Very good correction! I will aways admire Brambell as a comedian nevertheless. The Swedish version of Steptoe and son is a regional classic, but the original is almost art, at least in it's first seasons.

[@johaniln]

No, he played Paul McCartney's GRANDfather :)

@bbenjoe Correct!

[@OctagonalGolbat]

How did they manage to fit practically every homophobic stereotype in such a short skit? Truly incredible.

[@SelmaAymara]

How? They are both supposed to be women, not gay.

[@OctagonalGolbat]

Women can be gay, Aymara. These two were historical lesbian lovers.

[@SelmaAymara]

@@OctagonalGolbat oooooh that makes sense...I thought you didn’t know they were portraying woman but thought they were just feminine gay men or sum. My bad!

[@OctagonalGolbat]

@@SelmaAymara No prob! Thanks for being cool about it! 👍

[@egapnala65]

I'm gay and thought it was hilarious, Especially since I'm reading Samuel M.Steward "Letters from Stein & Toklas." You should check out his "Murder is Murder is Murder" where they are portrayed as a detective agency and loosen up a bit.
