Men in Bed Together

Great gay movie moment: Dick Martin sneaks into a dark bedroom with a bottle of champagne and climbs into bed, thinking he's going to finally get Doris Day. But the general is in the bed, and when Rod Taylor enters the room the bottle's contents explode in the general's face (symbolic of you know what) and all is revealed. Rod smirks and leaves, then Paul Lynde shows up and gives the two men in bed a dirty look that speaks volumes. Dick then asks the general, why don't we get up early and pick out furniture? Kudos to Dick Martin for nonchalance.

I loved this gag too. Also, the part where Paul Lynde dresses up in an evening gown and follows Doris into the 'powder room' to listen in on her phone calls. While seated at the vanity, Paul's dress is hiked up enough for Doris to see his hairy legs wearing men's socks and garters in high heels.

Then she offers to tie the sash of Paul's dress and they have a conversation about satin and how it is slippery. Paul has no trouble coming up with a convincing dialogue about how s/he was always partial to satin and was married in it for his first marriage.

Then she ties the sash to a lamp so that when he starts for the door, he pulls the lamp cord out of the socket and the skirt of the dress tears off. The women scream and Paul tries to cover up his nether region.

My dad would have just thought this was hysterical. I wish he could have seen this movie before he passed away.

On the dvd, this scene is called 'Satin does slip'.
