The Gay Intruders (1948) Screwball Comedy | John Emery, Tamara Geva

The theatre world thinks of John and Maria (John Emery and Tamara Geva) as the romantic lovers they play on stage, but when the curtain comes down, blood pressures go up for the forever-fighting husband-wife team. Even counselling does no good as their psychiatrists begin bickering as badly as their patients! The NOT-so-private lives of this prickly pair are explored in this mirthful marital comedy.
CAST:
John Emery, Tamara Geva, Lief Erickson, Roy Roberts, Virginia Gregg

A delightfully funny movie. I'm so glad I saw this Gem. And no A-list Hollywood stars.

[@metrogoldwyn]

Emery is once married to Tallulah Bankhead, for whatever it's worth

[@JohnSmith-cf4gn]

Back then gay meant happy and care free. I remember when it did.

[@williambrown8654]

Hahaha

[@sharonmitchell1920]

I just love the screwball comedies! Great fun

[@1LSWilliam]

Such delightful cutting repartee! Few comedies today compare faovrably. Perfect!!

[@carmenfoote7999]

Ahhh marriage! A wonderful institution and in this case, a screwball one. Nice comedy and a joy to watch for first time and will do so again. These old b&w movies were great. Joe S.

[@rosebud8336]

😂😅 So funny&cute. ALL ROLES PLAED GREAT!!!!

[@artroraback8663]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful little movie.

[@lilwobblywade6324]

This is btw one of the best movies of that era.Still hilarious and entertaining.

[@AureliaPempenic64]

Thank you, I had a good time with those good actors and hilarious movie

[@flemokuit6971]

hi miss can you tell me what is the real name of. the actors.

[@1LSWilliam]

Simply wonderful. If love ever ceases to be qame, love ceases .

[@keithharvey7230]

Mr.Emery reminds me of John Barrymore.

[@kathyh4804]

This was a cute movie thank you so much!🌸

[@capricorntwenty]

What an incredible film, the words, the script, the actors, all so extremely well done, emphasising once again, how there are absolutely no writers or decent actors these days....

[@1LSWilliam]

A farce that achieves genuine proportions touching on sheer madness that is truer to life than all of the tripe! Delicious.

[@keithharvey7230]

Why is it when someone splashes a little bit of drink on themselves,even just water,they have to go and get changed?

[@DavidRice111]

Seems John Emery did his best to emulate John Barrymore, and succeeded! The 20s through the mid 60s had the very best comedies, and this one is proof!

[@1LSWilliam]

That marriage might be reduced to "a game" is most shocking! But here most hilarious.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Geva is a wonderful actress, and with the qualities of a ballerina.

[@TgSunny-i8u]

Delightful comedy thank you❤

[@brendakrieger7000]

Appreciate you sharing😹

[@GaryLachman]

Hilarious.

[@tinkerbell2675]

I'm going right in and pick a fight with her. Why? To see who's fault it is! lol Love this movie ....so funny. Thanks for the share.

[@1LSWilliam]

Regardless of the comical charade pervading every moment of this endearing film, so much of this domestic upheaval is very plausible, sadly or no, which actually makes the bottom-line captivating. Most honest people will recognize themselves easily!

[@stewartmcardle8149]

"Wycliffe" was the real middle name of Leif Erickson (ne William Wycliffe Anderson).

[@user-wc7mo9uo9o]

What a delightful movie! And great acting! They will never make movies like that anymore. They will never make clothes like that anymore. And there will never be class and style like that anymore...

The theatre world thinks of John and Maria ( John emery and Tamara geva) as the romantic lovers they play on the stage, but when the curtain comes down,blood pressures go up for the forever fighting husband-wife treat team! Even counseling does no good as their psychiatrists begin bickering as badly as their patients! The not-so -private lives of the prickly pair are explored in this mirthful martial comedy! Leif Erickson and Virginia gr Gregg are the shrieks-I mean shrinks -and Roy Roberts is the couple’s manager-and this delightful film 🎥 is good for laughs and groans -it’s maddeningly good! 👍 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😂😂😂

[@TheJoyfulEye]

Not a forgotten gem. They didn't quite pull this one off.

[@donnahaga1411]

A gay person is a homosexual but the word gay means happy excited and merry sooo

[@paulturner1707]

Great movie however, far to many adverts make it very difficult to watch.

[@lilwobblywade6324]

Thanks for ruining a fantastic word any and all concerned.

[@keithharvey7230]

Eh?

[@judymoraign7078]

What???

[@IbI22834]

???? I think we all agree.

[@russellgrenning1317]

"Gay" very obviously didn't have the same meaning in 1948 as it has in 2023. While not brilliant, this film does have redeeming features and is mildly entertaining.

[@eugeniovazquez1483]

Chad douglas was gay

[@cclyon]

Well aren't they insufferable.

[@gardengnome3249]

Why haven't the woke mob cancelled this already?

[@davidparris7167]

I thought this was going to be all about homosexual burglars and backdoor lovers. Beware CLICKBAIT.

[@Ben4Life792]

💀💀💀same

[@carmelbrain7399]

Grim gabby, griping guff

[@deezynar]

I'm not entertained by people who go to such lengths to deceive others.

[@JohnReitz-ps2ct]

Kinda tiresome and pointless. I guess they were trying to make something sophisticated but failed.

[@sdragut]

i thought this is supposed to be funny. i watched 20% and it hasn't started to be funny yet. when does it get funny?

[@JohnReitz-ps2ct]

Never

[@mickeybitsko1676]

Would expect to see George meeker in this suboptimal trash
