I like to imagine a young John Waters watching this and coming up with the cha-cha heels scene in "Female Trouble." Constance Ford was such a good villain. She must've enjoyed playing this role & chewing the scenery
Constance Ford was one hell of an actress! She was in the movies and stage but lots of TV. She did a couple of Perry Masons, Twighlight Zones, lots more & then a long stint on some soap opera till she passed.
I read that her falling with the Christmas tree was not in the script. Just before the scene was shot Constance Ford requested that the director order Sandra Dee's mother off the set with the excuse that she couldn't concentrate with Sandra's mother on the set. What was supposed to be a standard fake movie slap turned into an unexpected real live bitch slap causing Sandra to lose her footing and therefore had to grab the Christmas tree to break her fall. Constance Ford did apologize to Sandra but everyone could see that Constance maliciously took this opportunity to slap the shit out her young upstart costar. No wonder Constance Ford did not want Sandra's mother on the set when this was shot! Constance Ford planned this all along.
It's better to be her father's daughter than her mother's. At least that way she's alive and capable of love. Unlike her mother who is half dead and capable of loving no one.
@@JudgeJulieLit And so her daughter is supposed to forgo the person she loves because of her mother's upbringing? Her father forsook the woman he loved and this is the result. Better to let others disapprove of you and be with the person you love than have their approval but be alone or with someone you don't love. Her father told her, "Our one great purpose in life is to love and be loved. It is the sole reason for our existence." And I've never heard truer words.
Reminds me of John Waters' Female Trouble where Dawn Davenport (Divine) pushes her mother into the Christmas tree because she didn't get cha-cha heels.
Constance Ford could have been a football player. She knocked Sandra Dee for a loop. Didn't even bat an eyelash. Miss the old days when women were linebackers and men were drunks.
Sandra Dee had apparently kept everybody waiting while talking to reporters so Constance was very irritated well waiting for the film to roll. I can't imagine Ada on another world, her signature role for 25 years, doing this to Rachel or Nancy as Ada was the antithesis of Helen Jorgensen. She was pointed out at a concert that Judy Garland gave, recognizing her in the audience and saying, I know you! I see you on my TV everyday! You're Ada! A few years later, Liza with a z had Liza singing that Ada even backwards would be Ada. 30 years after her death, Constance Ford is still remembered and beloved.
Rick James: „what do the five fingers say to the face?“ Charlie Murphy: „what?“ Rick James: *Slaps Charlie and yells „SLAP!“ One of the best sketches from Chappelle‘s Show!
Sure, in body. The character she played, though was ugly to the bone, and I don't mean physically ugly. One thing she had in common with that tree was both the tree and her soul was plastic. Speaking of the character, not the actress.
@@kellyrayburn4093 From this scene, mama's ire seems to stem from herself having gotten pregnant before marriage to a player now her ex-husband, and not wanting her daughter to repeat that tragic error.
@@JudgeJulieLit I understand what you are saying and there is merit there. However she didn't love him while her daughter *did* love Johnny, just as her husband loved Johnny's mother but never followed through with it (until years after the fact). This is what happens when you get married for convenience rather than for love.
If I could only find a way to put this scene on 'repeat' (as white noise background), my life would - during this septic holiday season - be utterly complete.
Did Ada Hobson ever do that to Rachel Cory on the old soap opera "Another World"? I only saw a few Soap-Net reruns which re-aired episodes between 1987 and 1991, from 2003 to 2007.
@00:42 AFTER CONSTANCE SLAPS HER DAUGHTER AND THE CAMERA CUTS BACK TO HER FACE WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE CONSTANCE GOT HER HAIR AGAIN! LOL THAT HAIR IS LAIDDDD HUNNI 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wasn't this scene in Mommie Dearest as well? I remember there was a scene in which Joan Crawford interrogates her daughter Christina about her Christmas card list.
If she woulda told her moma Merry Christmas when she walked through the Door maybe She Wouldnt need a Christmas Tree or an Imaginary Piano to Break Her Fall🤣🤣
Don't know why the uploader had to cut the slapping scene 4 times ...? Must be a younger person: they like to see repeated brutality, we older ones are not that blunted..!
My mother did the same thing to me. Let the Dr. violate me. Naked from the waist down feet in stirrups while poking and prodding me and female inside body parts. I was a virgin. Had never even had a boyfriend. What a horrifying experience. It was a long quiet car ride to and from that doctor she never said a word never said why. So hurtful. She got a great job and abandoned me (all of us) my father and two sisters as soon as I started having periods. She started traveling to places all over the map. Cruise Ships Air Planes Trains. Then when I turned 45 she decided to tell me that my father raped her and that's how she got pregnant with me and my twin sister. And she didn't know she was having twins because he wouldn't take her to the doctor. And she also told everybody that he molested my older sister. That's when I said to her "What did you do Watch'? You were too lazy to walk to the Dr. You couldn't ask a neighbor for a ride? Call a cab? My dad was in the Air Force her prenatal care was free no out of pocket expense. Aside from all that drama. A Summer Place is my favorite movie of all time. I'm letting God deal with her. - kimie
Slapping our nations youth into birth control is ill advised. The next thing ya know they will be growing their hair long, smoking pot at rock concerts and rioting. I’m thinking that Christmas tree should have broke her fall though.
Yo tengo conocimientos de ingles y el traductor de Google es bastante malo por cierto. ¿O es que acaso no puedo opinar en mi idioma si me da la gana? En mi canal la gente opina en la lengua que le parece y yo no la cuestiono por eso. Ademas, de los que opinaron, no vi a nadie en contra de esto, cosa que me extraña porque no tiene nada de gracioso.
This scene should have been in Mommie Dearest. I am sure a scene similar to this one must have taken place between Joan Crawford and Christina when Christina failed to send out her Christmas Card cards out on time.
I loved how extra and over dramatic she fell lmao she spun around and drag the tree down with her
Falling with finesse!
Trying to steal the scene from Constance Ford.
Such a warm, cheerful family moment.
It sounded like she landed on a piano keyboard.
😆😆😆
most likely ...everyone had a piano at the tome...lol
She definitely hit the wrong note on that piano 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
Rotflmfao!!!!
GOD I LOVE CONSTANCE FORD IN ANYTHING
She's my favorite lesbian too.
A 2 hour loop of this scene would be great.
I sooo agree.
Yes, that would be great and put it on continuous rewind at some bar.
JACK ANTHONY we must watch it 3 or 4 times a week..we show it to everone and act out the parts
I am placing this on a continuous loop on my computer cover design.
I'd die laughing watching that slap for 2 hours straight.
This is a REAL treat!💕
Bravo, Constance Ford. You played the best battle-ax bitch there ever was.
Constance Ford beats Mommie Dearest by a long shot in the bitch department.
I like to imagine a young John Waters watching this and coming up with the cha-cha heels scene in "Female Trouble."

I love the way woman dressed and carried themselves in these days. They had so much class.
This is the clip I never knew I needed. 🤣

@@jackanthony976 Wow I did not know that. Constance was evil.
she grabbed to it and made it fall ..it was part of the scene
if it was not Christmas..she would have had nothing to hold on.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My mom messages me this scene every Christmas 😅
"solid plastic" - LOL
It's better to be her father's daughter than her mother's. At least that way she's alive and capable of love. Unlike her mother who is half dead and capable of loving no one.
and then she has to care for a robot in Uncle Simon twilight zone
I was speaking of the character, not the actress who portrayed the character.
I know.. she was great in both roles
Clearly the mother had a Puritanical upbringing.

They don't write brilliant scripts like this anymore.
Yes they do. You're just spoiled.
Could watch it over and over
Reminds me of John Waters' Female Trouble where Dawn Davenport (Divine) pushes her mother into the Christmas tree because she didn't get cha-cha heels.
And that Saturday Night Live episode, Killer Christmas Trees.
Not on Christmas, not on Christmas...
@@HauntFreak13 Get off me, you ugly witch!!!!!!
One of my favorite Christmas scenes ever. Loved Constance Ford. ❤️
*The edit at the end.* 😂🤣 "Merry Christmas mama."
It's a Slap-Happy Holiday!

That slap will ripple for the ages😂
Slapped the curls out her head

she looks like a man
Why would you miss that.

She’s built like a linebacker lmaooo

One of the best sketches from Chappelle‘s Show!
I loved those sketches!

I love this scene!
Please please please make a longer loop of the slap..please..it'll come in handy .
lol
😂
Now you're REALLY getting into the spirit of Christmas! And Hell, you haven't even had your first drink yet :-)
I don't know why, but I find Constance Ford absolutely gorgeous

She was a model and I can see why. She was beautiful.
@@jenniferjimenez677 I believe the year was 1943 and Constance Ford was in an ad for "Elizabeth Ardens Victory Red" lipstick..
Please someone put the slap on a dance music loop! ..I'll come in handy for cold winter night parties .
This movie and “Female Trouble” are must Christmas movies!!!!!!!!
1:00 Momma, you know all about the inside of Las Vegas hotel rooms, but you were never very good at it, Daddy told me.
Merry Christmas Momma 🎅
CONSTANCE FORD :) she make a great stepmother for my loving children lol, she is awesome, they just do not make them like her anymore.
The Christmas Card we all needed
Her mom was sick liked the picture.💕💕💕💕💕👍💖🍀🤗🌈
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If I could only find a way to put this scene on 'repeat' (as white noise background), my life would - during this septic holiday season - be utterly complete.
AH HAHAHAHAHAAH!
I can easily make a loop! Let me know!
Merry Christmas Mother 😂😂😂😂😂: now that’s respect.
Oh my… behaving rude in the Summer Place Christmas night !! It was allmost unthinkable back in pleasantville 1959.
Where has this been all our lives!?!
Did Ada Hobson ever do that to Rachel Cory on the old soap opera "Another World"? I only saw a few Soap-Net reruns which re-aired episodes between 1987 and 1991, from 2003 to 2007.
And a Happy New Year!!
I always got the feeling that the mother was a repressed lesbian
she was Rachel moma on Another World
I repressed MAN
she looka like a man. no wonder daddy strayed
@@chuglyone loved her as Ada, Rachel's mom.
The actress that played the mother as well as Ada on “Another World”, Constance Ford, was gay in real-life, so......
Not on Christmas! Not on Christmas!!!!
The lighting in the movies at that time made every room look as if it was lit with bare light bulbs.
+Vincent Fitzpatrick I did notice the lighting when they were in the the inn on the island. Very warm feel.
+Vincent Fitzpatrick This scene, there is a weird shadow on the upper portion of the walls...
@00:42 AFTER CONSTANCE SLAPS HER DAUGHTER AND THE CAMERA CUTS BACK TO HER FACE WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE CONSTANCE GOT HER HAIR AGAIN! LOL THAT HAIR IS LAIDDDD HUNNI 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love this clip!! #classic
that is one woman you don't want to miss with. and that was only her left. if she was right handed she would have sent Sandra Dee to tomorrow.
Merry Christmas 2022 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Jeez, I thought I knew every scene in this film, but for the life of me, I don't remember this one. Can't wait to watch it again now!
Wasn't this scene in Mommie Dearest as well? I remember there was a scene in which Joan Crawford interrogates her daughter Christina about her Christmas card list.
She'd need to run once I got up from the floor. Squad lights spinning Christmas lights on the front lawn.
Krabby bought me here
Momma is one of those "C" words!! 🤣🤣🤣
I said Cha-Cha Heels, black ones! (Please Dawn, not on Christmas!) 😂
Most be long ,cold winter and nothing to do, but to watch reruns of old movies...
I think John Waters homage is fitting.
If she woulda told her moma Merry Christmas when she walked through the Door maybe She Wouldnt need a Christmas Tree or an Imaginary Piano to Break Her Fall🤣🤣
That slap sounded like it hurt...
Mama is Brutal😱
She look kinda fatherly her damn self.
I SAID CHA CHA HEELS BLACK ONES! Oh....wait....
those were all glass ornaments back then. ouch.
Very over the top campy. But kind of cool. A regular Bee-atch punch!!!
Thats a Legendary Slap...lol
I here from the Bollywood version of dramatic slap scenes
Well damn….. 😂😂😂
its so strange to realize young people of the time wore the queens hairstyle
Constance Ford still taking Uncle Simon his hot chocolate.
Not Ada Hobson slapping Gidget!!!
Don't know why the uploader had to cut the slapping scene 4 times ...?
Must be a younger person: they like to see repeated brutality, we older ones are not that blunted..!

Alex Zuck was drop dead gorgeous. They don't make women like that anymore. BTW she was of Ukrainian ethnicity.
Es total!!! Jajaja jajaja jajaja jajaja
Mama C-word! 😆😆
I always that it was black and white in the 50s
J Diamond 1939, to be specific.
She sang two songs in this movie, do you know what they were?
This is A Summer Place - I don't recall Sandra Dee singing in this, in later years she did sing "Is Tammy In Love" for one of the Tammy movies.
Damn.....after that many takes....her cheeks must have been plenty swollen!!!
Don't like the tree much but nice ornaments on it...
