- Dustin Hoffman getting grilled while drilled. The Nazi dentist does quite a sadistic 'cavity' search on him, causing some seriously insane pain --all for nothing, for he hasn't a clue what they want. Is it safe??
...I think not.
I play this every six months just before I go to the dentist. Helps lighten the mood.
and, is it safe?
You go every six months? That's not safe.
This should be on a loop in dentists waiting rooms.😂
Lol
O M G I just vividly imagined that. People would first sit still, trying to keep cool, the storm out of the waiting room at the last seconds of the clip!
Yes, much more soothing than the elevator music they play at the dental surgery
Skinny Puppy would like to be underwritten on this PSA
Don’t even joke 😭
Thanks to this movie, I haven't been to the dentist since 1976.
Me neither.
It isn't safe.
Haha!
@@themightycelestial same with me
My first appointment in about 20 years coming up on Monday...yay...
drpapa26 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Such a terrifying scene. Superbly directed, acted and edited. No music necessary to heighten the tension.
I didn't even notice that, but you're right! The lack of music is the best thing about this.
What made the scene great is that appealed to a very wide audience.Most people have never been tortured with "classic" methods,like electrocution,for example.However almost everyone has sensed a dentist's drill and understands how vulnerable Hoffman is,strapped in the chair and with sir Lawrence Olivier probing his teeth.
There is a little bit of music starting around 3:59 from Michael Small's score. I think it adds perfectly to the scene, making Szell seem all the more menacing.
All you needed was the drill and painful screaming. That was enough.
I love when he announces he won't drill into the same cavity-is not as painful as drilling into a fresh tooth. Sir Laurence Olivier is one of the greatest actors has ever lived
That's Laurence Olivier? Wow, he looks nothing like he did on those Shakespeare adaptations!
@@fede018 this was the last movie he made. He was actually dying when he made it. That's why Dustin said some days he was really cranky and hard to work with
@@carlmorell567 This wasn't remotely the last movie Olivier made. He lived for over a decade after this (passing away in 1989) and made numerous more movies. Hell, this wasn't even the last movie he got an Oscar nod for, as two years later he got one for "The Boys From Brazil", playing (ironically) a Nazi hunter.
@@carlmorell567Not his last movie. I vividly remember his performance in A Little Romance (1979).
@carlmorell567 wow so wrong, do some research
He washes his hands before the procedure. Professionalism and hygiene, hand in hand. Ve must maintain standards, yes?
He's psychologically fucking with him, heightening the level of fear.
Ve must!
its to drive home the fact that hes an ex nazi.... we always think of nazis as being very meticulous in america.
Yikes!
such a powerful choice in the script
When I was a kid, this seems to be the most accurate depiction of a dentist.
Seems pretty accurate for an adult too, if you ask me.
Still is,,& Hygienists
I think if this scene every time the dentist warms up his drill.
I have a wicked strong gag reflex and I've given dentist hell my whole life because I choke and move which is obviously not good if you're trying to work in my mouth I still procrastinate my visits
Now that's funny
Yesterday I was at the dentist for a root canal procedure and this scene came to mind immediately.
Tooth pulled on Saturday... Same deal.
@@MolokaiismCavities aren’t too bad, but root canal and teeth pulling scares me 😅
Everyone knows these days the most painful thing about dentistry is the bill
When people ask me if I have a fear of dentists, I always respond that I have a fear of dentist bills
Szell: Is it safe?
Dustin Hoffman: I don't know what you;re talking about!
Szell: Then maybe... Zis! will convince you talk! (shoves a dentist bill into his face)
DH: AAAAAAAHHHHHH! NOOOOO!!!! PLEASE!!!!
😅Exactly but the problem could be THAT fear may just cause Babe's heart to stop and then he won't be able to extract any information from him.@@benrositas8068
“Hold my beer”.
The plumber. 🚽
Oliver's understated menace in this scene was genuinely frightening and at the same time wonderful to watch but Dustin Hoffman's performance in the whole film and this scene in particular is just astonishing. He makes it look so easy
Come on , give Dustin Hoffman some credits too. After all, it's his character we are identifying with. Hoffman is literally quivering like a frightened little boy in the hands of the legendary torturer. Each of his labored breath sends chills down the spine. You cannot overlook the fear in his widening eyes . The pain in his cry is so palpable, we can actually feel his agony. Babe's vulnerability and innocence made the scene more plausible and visceral. At the end, I should say both of them did a tremendous job in bringing out the most of this memorable scene without overdoing it at all.
Hoffman was great in this movie...Devane and Scheider was very good as well..Great cast !!
uncletigger Yeah I’m sure if you were being tortured you’d try and be a big badass. Shut up dumbass
Keep in mind Olivier actually stuck Hoffman in the gum with the tool in the first scene. He showed up late to the set because he'd been out partying the night before and L.O. was cross about it and chose to express it in that way.
Don't forget Roy schieder's incredible performance as Doc - the strong brother
GreatDarkSpot “is it late...”
Notice the way Olivier handles the dental tool pouch with familiarity and enthusiasm. Super talented guy.
I'm pretty sure that Laurence Olivier consulted a dentist before he did the filming, maybe assisted one. Olivier didn't become such a magnificent actor just like that, preparations is everything!
@@Exodianecross1978 I would not be surprised that he did research as that is normal for actors. I didn't mean to infer that talent doesn't require practice and study in order to manifest fully. How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
Without Olivier this movie is 2 stars. With him it is a classic.
@ordinaryaverageguy That's the truth he did indeed a classic
Two things I got from this scene.
When the drill come toward Dustin Hoffman, you can see how the camera lens gets distorted like teardrops surrounding the eye in fear. Great work right there.
The distortion also shows me how incredibly evil, twisted and so wrong on what's going on. Nerve pain is monumental.
What a tremendous scene. Years pass and it has aged without losing brilliance. Olivier looks impeccable as a dentist who meticulously tortures poor Dustin, breaking him more in his preparatory cares than with the act itself. As all dentists!
But he's not a dentist- he's a Nazi war criminal responsible for far worse things than Dentistry
Nine times...NINE times Olivier says "Is it safe?" and each time it's different, and each time it's more menacing than the last. So, naturally, the piece-of-shit Academy gave the supporting actor Oscar to Jason Robards for 'All The President's Men', and Robards was fine in that. But Olivier MAKES this film; even when his character isn't on screen, you're thinking about him. He's 100% Badass without shouting or waving a gun around--he's calm and insidious (his chuckling, matter-of-fact manner when he says to Hoffman: "Oh, please, don't worry. I'm not going into that cavity again!") and smart (the retractable blade, which he only uses twice.) Absolutely one of the peak roles of Olivier's career, and along with 'The Entertainer' (1960) it proves he could delve into the dark side as well as anyone.
True. Excellent actor. Unfortunately this scene is in the back of my mind every time I'm at the dentist. And I was at the dentist today...Ugh...She found a cavity as well, in order to clean and fill it. I almost broke her chair in pain. Glad it's over....for now.
He played a nazi. You can't give an Oscar to a guy who plays a nazi. Many members of the Academy are Jews.
TM Rezzek Olivier was dead by the time the Oscars rolled around. It's not as if he minded
Britains best ever actor
+Roc Liggins This film came out in 1976. Olivier died in 1989. Please observe the chronology.
One of the most fascinating scenes in film history.
Is that safe?...
I read that at one stage Hoffman didn't bathe or shave for a week and stayed up for a couple of days to get that dishevelled look, when Olivier asked him what he had done Hoffman told him and Oliver responded with "my dear boy haven't you ever heard of acting?".
He should've answered "haven't you ever heard of make up"
I don't know how anyone could do that. I stayed up for 28 hours once and I was so delirious I'm lucky I didn't get hurt.
I haven't washed for days and I've got pissed to watch youtube...That's method!....should I become an actor?
@@UniteForgetLeftRight we did 24 hours most weekends sometimes 48.. I stayed awake for almost 3 days once but then I just started tripping my ass off and having nightmares while awake..
Ah the good old nineties 😁😁
@@iseeolly9959 Yes.....................yes, you should.
the sound of the unseen drill behind the briefcase still raises the hairs on my arm...masterful
Just read an old Scarlet Street interview with Marc Lawrence (playing "Erhard") who said while they were shooting the "Is it safe?" scene John Schlesinger kept telling Olivier: "Cut this line. Cut that line. It's taking too long." And Olivier (who was ill anyway) blew sky-high and yelled "John, I believe in the rhythm of speech! If you want to cut lines, then cut them in the GOD-DAMNED EDITING ROOM!!" Schlesinger immediately backed off and shot the scene as written and it stayed in the final cut. Olivier absolutely knew what he was doing with his role.
William Goldman, the screenwriter, also had a story about Olivier's dedication. It was an exchange between Roy Scheider's character and his, and the lines were, "I know that sooner or later you're going to go to the bank." "Perhaps I already have been." On the first two takes, Olivier took a pause before saying his line, and Schlesinger told him not to pause. Olivier said, "I have a problem not taking the pause. I'm trying to get information out of him. When he mentions the bank, it takes me a moment to register it. Bill, would it be all right to change the line? If Roy said, 'I know that you're going to go to the bank sooner or later,' then I could register the word 'bank' while he's still talking and I wouldn't have to take the pause."
This is an accurate depiction of a Navy dentist.
It's just unthinkable, to drill into a healthy tooth until you reach 'ze pulp', the pain is beyond the imagination. The most chillling thing is to think any human could do that to a fellow human so dispassionately, I can't forget Oliver's performance in this movie, he's coloured my opinion of Nazis even above and beyond all the reams of information that exist on them.
Role model: Josef " Beppo" Mengele
I highly doubt that a drill was used in Germany between 1933 and 1945 torture jews or anyone else. They did a lot of other weird stuff. Kind of what Arabs did on October 7th...
Olivier would dominate in movies today. His acting is timeless
Don't worry I'm not going into that cavity as it's already dying, A freshly cut nerve is infinitely more sensitive, The humanity in this scene is outstanding, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I’ve got a dentist appointment coming up this week and wanted to watch this before my appointment!
Laurence Olivier, Master Actor, should've ghotten an Oscar for this IMHO
@jutubaeh No, Burton wasn't even nominated for that movie. He had seven nominations but no win.
We still didn’t find out if it was safe.
They all went down the drain..lol
If you take note of the henchman who hold's Hoffman's head so the "White Angel" the Nazi dentist played by Olivier you'll see the actor is Richard Bright who played Michael Corleone's personal bodyguard Al Neri who in the original novel is a former cop who brutally kills a pimp, if memory serves me, by throwing him out of a window. Bright was in a lot of great movies playing a tangential character which was usually a friend or colleague of the protagonist. He play Pacino's brother in "Panic in Needle Park". He was killed at age 68 when the rear tire of a NY city tourist bus ran him over while in a crosswalk with the walk sign on. This was a great movie and what prompted me to come see this scene was the fact that William Goldman who wrote the novel and won two Oscars for the screenplay "Butch Cassidy & the Sun Dance Kid" and as well "All the President's Men" died today of colon cancer at the age of 87. Goldman was a consummate screen writer who penned some of the great lines in dialogue ever written.
Read Goldman's Edged Weapons, if you haven't already done so.
I remember Al Neri. I remember the letdown I felt when I found out he was a racist. Interesting enough when he killed Barzani he used his own uniform and badge. It was never taken from him when he was arrested
Laurence Olivier, the master, the don. What a guy
Richard Bright & Marc Lawrence add so much to this scene!
I often ask my dentist if it's safe.
The funny thing is, she never saw the movie & only recently figured out what I meant.
They both had faces made for the movies. Unbelievable that Bright got killed by a bus. 😢
I think olivier must have spent years shadowing actual dentists to have got this so uncannily true to life.
i remember being 5 years old and watching this very scene with my dad and i cried so hard cuz i was scared... i didn't know what was going on and didn't remember the name of the movie until today...
Me too, we share this pain! Quite horrifying, the effect it had on me, took me over 2 decades to start trusting dentists again
I’m gonna ask this question to my every patient if I become dentist.
lmao
You won't get many patients!
I am a pathologist: my patients never complain during an autopsy, even when i ask 'em "is it safe?"
Thanks for the warning. i will make sure i keep safe.
@@moselisci9129 If he say yes there will be a lot of shit happening there 😂😂
If someone does a dental checkup to you for free, he can't be a villain...
Oliviers face at 2:08 is amazing. I think I'll buy some oil of cloves...just to be on the safe side.
4:01 I find many of Lawrence Olivier's performances to be over the top, but it's scenes such as these that tell me what his caliber was. I think anyone would break into a sweat looking at that expression.
This is so foked up - one of my favorite movies of all time - thanks for posting.
"I have to be sure" Oh my god, that is the inexcusable excuse...
They actually did film the drill going into the tooth..... but they cut it out because it was too disturbing.
I see things like that every day, why is it disturbing? 😂😂😂
You are right and too prove it - look at the scene at 7;14 - Hoffman's gap in the middle is gone unlike at 6;43. Know why. It is filled in with some kind of material that they can actually drill through to seem like it was his tooth, But the screen test was deemed too violent so it got cut.
What professionalism, what style and attention to detail, marvelous.
Once they made me a root canal without anesthesia, cutting the pulp with the drill is an inhuman pain. I felt the blades of the bur cutting my nerves like a samurai
Nasty, i’ve had 7 cavities drilled with no anesthetic
I had the same.. when she exposed the nerve she had to get her boss who then went on to make a qtip fluffy and with the light fiber he touched the location..
I almost died.. told them to close it asap and then I just left.
When they finished it the next time I had no feeling in it anymore
Why an EARTH would you or anyone have a root canal WITHOUT ANAESTHETIC??!!!!
Bullshit
@@CathyKitson well sometimes the nerves are already dead so the dentist can choose to not administer it because if the nwrve is dead you shouldn't be able to feel any pain. Ive had root canals done thats what ive always been told
" I know, I behaved terribly"....and it's about to get much worse
I saw this when i was about 4-5 (early years of HBO), I didn't know what to think. i still haven't forgotten it.
7:05 That subtle smile... what a sadistic fuck... Hats off to the master Olivier
I find his expressions at 2:08 and 4:03 the very heart of evil. To repeat a question 9 times and to make it different each time takes a huge amount of acting skill. Olivier should have won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for this.
I quote George Carlin. "Beware of the dentist with blood in his hair".
Which used to to be every dentist, considering back in the old days... Dentists were allowed to perform other "Minor" surgery. Same was true for Barbers, which is why Barber poles have that red spiraling stripe.
The Blacklist sent me
Yoshh bruhhh same 😂 season 2 episode 20
Millennials
Quon Zhang (No. 87)
Morphine is such a wonderful thing
Yoshh B what’s the blacklist.
The first time I saw this I couldn't believe the levels of anxiety it created.
When I was at the movie theater watching this scene, my incisor started to hurt. I had a root canal treatment the following week. I've never watched this film again.
Was it safe?
When Hoffman says - You talking to me?' I wonder if he's already seen or heard of De Niro's Taxi Driver scene (or perhaps it was the other way round)
They were released the same year, so it's probably a coincidence.
It also has a completely different illocutionary intent
I would love to see a photo of Olivier in my dentist's waiting room, preferably holding a drill with the caption 'is it safe?'
You’ll be a dentist. You have a talent for causing things pain!
One of the best scenes ever filmed
1:15 It's generally NOT a good thing when Al Neri drops in for an assist...
EDIT: This film was incredibly intense.
Dustin Hoffman was brilliant so serious and humorous at the same time.
Note to self: On next visit to dentist, ask him, “Is it safe?” because I’m sure NOBODY has ever done that before.
Damn you Laurence Olivier, you put me off the bloody dentist.
Master class in asting by two great.
...Still a better dentist than Walter Palmer.
Nice video. You may also want to checkout the review of marathon man on my blog at *carlreviews. com/marathon-man-review/* Thanks, Lester.
"That day, he was amazed to discover that when he was saying 'Is it safe?' what he meant was, 'I love you.' And even more amazing was the day he realized he truly loved him back."
William Goldman gets confused and mixes up his scripts.
I got a cap on a molar today. Dentist told me to try to relax. I told him I will but if he asks me if it’s safe, I’m outta here! I could tell he’d heard it before.
Richard Bright who played assassin Al Neri in the Godfather films is so easily recognizable here. iconic henchman
Its like Micheal sent him to help Szell and in exchange he either gets some of the diamonds or like Vito asked of the mortician, will ask Szell to do a service for him in the future.
This is The Standard of Scenes of Physical Torture. Set is minimalistic, cinematography is plain and unembellished and actors perform their work with subtlety. Sir Laurence Olivier creates absolutely chilling villain with his faux-friendly and professional manner. It probably is exactly the same manner he would behave while doing dentistry without intention to torture a man.
Action itself is simple, very effective and any massive props or special effects are not necessary. Actors and editing do everything in this scene.
Also, the method of torture is one that most of the audience has experienced first-hand.
Dustin Hoffman: "Yes, I have health insurance It's safe to bill me!"
Olivier: "Ok. That"s all I wanted to know."
For some reason I always mention this scene when I go to the dentist. Then we both have a good chuckle. Regardless of the dentist's age, they all are familiar with the scene.
I got my ortho done by a lovely young doctor who had no idea about this movie but kept notes of it to watch it and comment it on my next checkup. She has the patience of a saint.
My left ear enjoyed this
Damn this is classic Dustin hoffman is legend
I'm trying to find a way to explain what makes this scene so great without sounding like a psycho. It boils down to the victim acting like someone actually in pain and terrified, rather than than dumb macho James Bond shit. And no cheesy music or camera work.
One of my all time favorite movies.
40 years later and this is still effective...
The "If he'd known he would have told" torture method!!!
It was pretty clear he knew nothing in the first interrogation. Doc's "what the hell is he talking about, is it safe?" demeanour conveyed it well. I think Szell just wanted to torture him for a bit.
Dentists and Nazis: a match made in heaven!
I'm a Dentist Assistant 😅 They did the scene very well and You can surely tell that Dustin Hoffman is an amazing actor only for this scene alone. The way he plays the victim. You can see the fear through his eyes. I've had a patient last week who told my Dentist whom I worked with that day to check this
movie out. I definetly will!5
My Dad is a dentist. When he would do my fillings he would often look me in the eye, power up the drill and ask me, "is it safe?"
That could be the best title of any upload on TH-cam :)
I went to the dentist recently and I was just about fine with it until she said, "You really should take better care of your tee..."
She didn't reach the end. I was out the the door on the "...th".
Did anyone watch this movie before going to the dentist?
I have a dentist appointment in the next few hours lol
I had a dental appointment exactly one week ago on Wednesday and she extracted a tooth. Fortunately she didn't ask me if it was safe but the ordeal lasted 1.5 hours.
Dustin Hoffman’s acting was ahead of its time
He just had it.
Olivier was better !!!
Even Mark Lawrence known to be one of Hollywood's most famous villains has to look away.
the sound of the drill is awesome man .... lol
Every single time a colleague or friend says that he or she has to go to the dentist, I send them a link to this video :-)
You are evil.
@@lizzychrome7630 it's just a bit of fun :-)
to be or not to be ..... SAFE?
"Tell me...Do you eat oysters, Hoffman? Do you eat snails?"
Film Fact: Hoffman intentionally stayed awake for 3 days and nights and days prior to filming this scene, so he would appear truly exhausted and the stress would be massively more obvious and visceral.
interesting......
Great actors do stuff like this. He simply awesome
I read that's actually a myth. They just filmed early in the morning after he's been partying hard the night before.
More like being in studio 54 all night
Hannibal Lecter checks under his bed for Snell, to see if it's safe.
Don’t what the problem is. So many of us would KILL for some free dental.
"Is it safe?" the same question I ask myself when going on porn hub, but I'm worried about viruses.

This film instilled a fear of dentistry for life!
This is why I hate the dentist.
I think of this movie every time I visit the dentist.
Just read the book. Szell's dialogue is much more sadistic and detailed. But he's very polite about it.
Play this on a loop in every dental clinic and watch the fun 😂😅😊
The Cab Driver from Midnight Cowboy liked this video!!!
Took me a sec 🤣🤣🤣
I don't know why but him plugging a dentist drill into an outlet outside of a dentist office, even THAT'S fucked up to me for some reason. 😄
One of the brilliant subtleties of this scene
Immer wenn ich zum Dentist gehe, sage ich: Ich weiss nicht, wo die Diamanten sind.
Whenever I go to my dentist, I say, I don´t know where the diamonds are.

Look at the scene at 7;14 - Hoffman's gap in the middle is gone unlike at 6;43. Know why. It is filled in with some kind of material that they can actually drill through to seem like it was his tooth, But the screen test was deemed too violent because many audience members walked out so it got cut. They say that extended scene still exists along with other cut scenes like Doc's 8 minute fight scene.
