The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season 2, Episode 14 - Somebody Has to Play Cleopatra - Full Episode

[@jburma]

18:39 - 20 : 56 “Harry! Get in the car!” 🤣🤣

[@bluestrife28]

This one always blends with the other talent show episodes in my head. Love these.

[@foadnwol6684]

Love seeing MTM dance and sing...so gorgeous!

[@preetakumar6593]

Man, I wanted to see Rob and Jerry as Cleopatra and Mark Antony.

[@janetfreedom5437]

Agreed, that would have been fun!

[@BiffJackson-o4i]

Back in the day they kept things real and normal.

[@gailcaldwell1512]

The shows with the singing and dancing were my favorites. And this episode had Bob Crane in it. It’s tough to see people so alive and then know they were murdered. Dick VanDyke is 98 yrs old and STILL DANCES every day. ❤❤

[@bluestrife28]

There was someone on another DVD episode and their comment was “HARRY. GET. IN. THE. CAR!!!” They made me laugh so much. That is such an iconic moment the wife showing up.

I half expected Bob Crane to wear his Colonels' hat perched back on his head!

[@docadams7099]

AAAAHHHH, Cleopatra, my enchanted! At last I have arromed from rive!

[@poetcomic1]

Milly doing Cleopatra as Mae West was a hoot! And her 'torch song' was hilarious: "And o I'll KILL MYSELF!!!!! I'm funny that way."

[@ColleenD78]

Milly stole this entire episode 😂😂😂

Ummm, that wasn't, Mae West, it was, Wallace Beery.

The actor in the 2nd row on the left Bob Crane I met him & sat & talked to him. He was so nice

[@katharinemenning]

Hey, that's Bob Crane (Colonel Hogan) from Hogan's Heroes.

[@marvinabigby5509]

I watched this on tv but couldn't see well enough to realize it was Bob Crane tysm

[@dsscam]

Valerie Yerke was my favorite guest star. I fell in love with her and always pointed out her 3 episodes. Not only did she play Miss Thomas (Alan's secretary) in "Three Letters From One Wife," but she also played in this episode as Cynthia Harding (the kindergarten teacher/ "Somebody Has To Play Cleopatra,"), and her biggest role as Diane Moseby in "My Husband Is the Best One. Not being able to see how drop-dead gorgeous she is because she was wearing glasses is kind of Clark Kentish. Enjoyed seeing Bob Crane before he became a star and then brutally suffered an unsolved murder to this day. And good to see Frank Adamo (Dick Van Dyke's long-time assistant) in one of his 51 appearances.

"Broadway doesn't have enough talent to put on a Broadway show!" 😂😂😂 Oh I don't know - we're talking early 60s? How about Julie Andrews, Rex Harrison, Christopher Plummer, Chita Rivera, Carol Channing, etc ad nauseum...😏😉😄

The truth is written in my lips .. where I don't see nothing Come closer Did you read it yet Not yet I'm. A slow reader 🤣🤣🤣 I think Millie was enjoying that kiss more than she should've. No wonder Jerry was worried

[@hunterluxton5976]

Superb quality film. What year was this? Dick looks do fullnof via and vigar.

[@williampetersen9915]

With regards to Rob's comment, at about 23:20; Sherwood Schwartz didn't seem to have any problem doing it on The Producer episode of Gilligan's Island.

[@Kittykat-tg6xd]

Eleanor Audley played Barbara's mother in My Three Sons also, I think her voice was used in Cinderella as the step mother.

[@chereecargill355]

She voiced both Cinderella's evil stepmother and Maleficent.

[@toddmccreary4579]

She was also Oliver's mother on Green Acres who was really better to Lisa than Oliver

And as Madame Leota in The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.

Ironic that Bob Crane would be involved in a lascivious sketch. That type of behavior later in his life got him murdered.

[@kimberlytyrcha5930]

His murder is still unsolved.

Bob Crane portraying a man who is overly fond of female attention. How prophetic.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

Harry was played by Bob Crane. Eleanor Audley played Oliver Wendall Douglas's mother in "Green Acres." Bob Crane played Col. Robert Hogan in "Hogan's Hereos."

[@MrMenefrego1]

I remember all of those great actors that you mentioned. You don't see character actors much these days, a dying or dead art. I remember the talented Eleanor Audley from the clever 'Fibber McGee and Molly Show', she was outstanding as the supercilious 'Mrs. Uppington'!

[@garyfrancis6193]

We know that.

[@jackkircher1755]

Bob was a fantastic drummer. He even played the theme to HH.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

@Jack Kircher YES, you're right! It was quite a treat for me to watch Bob Crane actually play the drums 🥁 on tv once. I don't remember when or what the occasion was, but he was fantastic!

[@HansDelbruck53]

Bob Crane kept mispronouncing enchantress as "enchantess" (minus the r). You'd think the director would have corrected him on that mistake.

[@jb6712]

It was much funnier with the "mistake," just as it was when he kept goofing his "Marc Antony" bit.

[@kathrynoneill5862]

I hope Bob Crane behaved himself with the pretty ladies on this show. Although he was probably professional on set i think. I'm not sure if many people knew about his secret life.
