Argument to Beethoven's 5th
No cue cards, no teleprompters, and no second takes--legendary funnyman Sid Caesar pioneered live television sketch comedy with his 1950s sitcoms Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour. This classic sketch is "Argument to Beethoven's 5th," Sid Caesar and Nanette Fabray play a married couple in a argument with pantomimed action and the dialogue is classic music.Enjoy!

Absolutely brilliant. I was totally absorbed. I loved especially the "yes" and "no" back-and-forth, and the point at which Nanette very clearly mouthed "my mother!" giving context to at least the first part of the argument.
I saw it when it was broadcast on "Your Shows of Show." It's just as funny today and I'll be rewatching many more. (Aug 8, 2024)
Monty Python's argument clinic has nothing on this!
Genial
Seperti film2 jaman dulu memang tidak terdengar dialog, hanya peragaan diiringi musik😂
Looks like Nannette Fabray.
Can anybody lipread what they're saying (apart from the obvious 'yes' and 'no' bits)?
"How italian is he?" 0:32 "And how fasc-" 0:49 "Oh..." "Ya..."
My word, why haven't a bunch of other comedians stolen this, as they have everything else Sid Caesar ever did. They wouldn't be 10% as good, but 10% would seem like millions to most people who watched.

2022!
Thanks!!! I will use this for students to write a short scene for English class! :)
clever
lol
Love this! Priceless - they were both so talented.
stupendo 👍👏👏👏👏
Dat wholesome af
Still one of the best interpretations and commentary on Beethoven's Fifth, opening movement.
Haha...though I think there are perhaps some other pieces that would suit it better...not sure I can think of one, though...perhaps something by Prokofiev...
Ok, haha...I don't know about the piece itself being the most suited to the whole idea, but the way they choreographed it is fitting...
I mean...it really fits, the way they did it...but the piece in itself might be a little too grandiose for something like that...there might be something by Prokofiev, perhaps in his Romeo and Juliet suite, that fits this much better...
Hell...there might be something by Haydn...I just feel like something about something like this should sound less grandiose...well, not always, I guess, especially if the culmination of a conflict that started since quite some time, perhaps...but it should sound petty, haha...strings alone might do the trick...
Moms spaghetti
Brilliance!
I have in my thoughts a party at Maestro Bernstein's place where this would be done while he played the piano transcription of the symphony.. Who knows if it ever happened?
Nanette Fabray passed away today (Feb. 23, 2018) at age 97. RIP. This skit is a piece of genius!
It most certainly IS!!!!
This video plays well on my LG phone.
One of the most glorious pieces of television ever made. I hope there's a higher quality copy out there somewhere, and that it will find its way to the general public. :)
More of a parody of an Italian couple.
We were on a break !
I see your video and I raise you a comment...

Wonderful! The dog turned out to be man's best friend In the end.

Comic Genius.
I'm not oh yes! oh no oh yes! oh no! oh yes! etc :P
There's a tad more to out than that: add it to more innocence and a greater attention span - collectively, in any case - than today and perhaps you'll be a tad more forgiving.
I love this! It's terribly pixillated now, though. Wish someone would re-upload it.
It's so funny about the thing with the dog.
Very funny! I wish the names of conductor and orchestra were listed.
Very funny. I laughed out loud. Everyone here gives Sid Caeser credit and he was extremely funny but the woman (I don't know her name) made a great contribution to this sketch too.
Nanette Fabray. She was extremely talented and a funny lady.
Pure genius. And it stands the test of time.
We get the commercial, but instead of the show clip we get an ERROR MESSAGE???
The late great Sid Caesar rip
LOL.. perfect!
very famous - Sid Caesar & Nannette Fabray - Your Show of Shows
Extraordinary.
Is that Nanette Fabre with him in this skit???
I didn't mean *she's* a fabulous piece, I meant the skit! No, really!
OK, OK, Sid's a genius, but let's hear it for Nanette a little. Fabulous piece!
She is his equal here!
@Aritosthenes She was delightful. Thanks for sharing!
R.I.P. Sid you gave a lot to the world.
fantastic

Sid Caesar was my role model or idol as a kid. Loved this show immensely. One reason I went into acting was because of him. A genius in many ways.
