    The best thing about this skit is that you can see the classically-trained Rathbone holding his own in a fast-paced vaudeville sketch; that, and you can also see he's genuinely enjoying himself!

    Awesome. I love Rathbone. He must have had an awesome sense of humor. Wish I had met him in person just to shake his hand.

    When one thinks of Basil Rathbone, humor/comedy isn't the first (or twentieth) thing that comes to mind. A classic bit. Nice to see him in this format.

    Basil Rathbone co-stared with Errol Flynn in several swashbucklers. He was an expert swordsman. He said that, in their swordplay, he could have killed Errol Flynn several times over.

      I think in their dueling Flynn actually cut Rathbone and left a scar once

    Without fail, my family watched Berle every Tuesday night.; as did most of the people who owned a television set. Arnold Stang remains one of my favorite second bananas. A truly endearing man who, I believe lived to be 91 years old and married to the same woman for 70 years!

      and British comedy is better? lol Get real, this was a comedic upgrade from what Rathbone could get in England - and his locale beats any in the Commonweath to boot.
