Hi,
New here. First post.

Q: There is an old silent film that has a marvelous scene: A woman looks over to her husband after he has done something oafish and, arms akimbo, she has a great dramatic pause and says simply, “You idiot”.

Kind of thin, but any idea what movie this is? I remember rolling in laughter, but can’t remember the movie – or even anything else but that one moment. I believe it was a “top 100” type silent film, as I’m sure I saw it while working my way through just that list.

About a year ago I remember this scene being discussed in the director’s commentary of yet another unremembered movie. (..Or maybe it was the David Mamet book Bambi vs. Godzilla.)

Any clue is appreciated.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, ipso. I hope someone here can help me, because I don't have a clue. Actually, I really suck at these. I think I'm something like 1 for 15.
