Iβm every one in this
MAN 1 (in a high pitched, whiny voice) Look what youβve done to my peonies!
WOMAN (angrily) Theyβre marigolds!
MAN 2 God! I think sheβs right! They are marigolds!
MAN 1 I may not know my flowers, but I know a (yells in her direction) bitch when I see one!
Itβs back!
I looked this up because I had to know what itβs from. Itβs a film called The Gay Deceivers (1969), and itβs about two straight men who, seeking to avoid the draft, claim to be gay, but then have to keep up the pretense when the army places them under surveillance.
The man in the red cardigan in the clip was played by Michael Greer, who was openly gay himself - unusual for the time. He actually worked closely with the director and rewrote much of the filmβs dialogue to reduce the homophobia and make it more realistic. As a result itβs quite progressive for its time, having a gay character, played by a gay man, living in a happy same-sex relationship, which is more than a lot of media offers us today.
Plus the clip is delightful.
I just needed this again.
this clip is so fucking funny
