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.

[@1LSWilliam]

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

[@rosebud8336]

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

[@lilwobblywade6324]

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

[@artroraback8663]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful little movie.

[@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.

[@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....

[@keithharvey7230]

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

[@1LSWilliam]

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

[@keithharvey7230]

Mr.Emery reminds me of John Barrymore.

[@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!

[@kathyh4804]

This was a cute movie thank you so much!🌸

[@1LSWilliam]

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

[@GaryLachman]

Hilarious.

[@brendakrieger7000]

Appreciate you sharing😹

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

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

[@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...

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! 👍 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😂😂😂

[@paulturner1707]

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

[@donnahaga1411]

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

[@TheJoyfulEye]

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

[@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

[@lilwobblywade6324]

Thanks for ruining a fantastic word any and all concerned.

[@keithharvey7230]

Eh?

[@judymoraign7078]

What???

[@IbI22834]

???? I think we all agree.

[@cclyon]

Well aren't they insufferable.

[@deezynar]

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

[@gardengnome3249]

Why haven't the woke mob cancelled this already?

[@carmelbrain7399]

Grim gabby, griping guff

[@JohnReitz-ps2ct]

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

[@davidparris7167]

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

[@Ben4Life792]

💀💀💀same

[@mickeybitsko1676]

Would expect to see George meeker in this suboptimal trash

[@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
