| Pie-Throwing In
Romantic Comedy
| Warner Bros, borrowed an hi
larious bit. from the old Mack
Scnnett pie-throwing days, dress
ed it in modern clothes and film
, ed it for a sequence in the gay
' romantic comedy, “Pretty Baby,"
| due at the Viccar Theatre on
L Sunday.
’ Director Bretaigne Windust su
pervised Dennis Morgan, Zach
1 ary Scott and *& waiter all down
I on the floor of a night club, spat
[ tered from .head to foot with
' whipped cream. Obviously they’d
just had a collision and although
| it seemed to have turned out with
I satisfying results. Director Win
: dust asked for a repeat.
| All three had to change clothes,
of course, and in his dressing
room Zachary expounded on the
value of slapstick in even the
most sophisticated comedies.
“This is the kind of scene that
gives the audience a beefy laugh,"
---- — ■■
he declared. "They’ll remember it!
long after they've forgotten some
sophisticated byplay that depends
on a smart nuance."
“Pretty Baby" is a comedy on
the advertising business and in
this particular night club scene
Dennis Morgan and Zachary
Scott, who are partners in an ad
vertising agency, arc taking Bet
sy Drake their secretary, who
holds the key to the agency's
principal account to dinner.
In the night club scene, the
three have some misunderstand
ing, and Betsy bids them a Curt
farewell, turns and leaves. It is
then that Dennis and Zach, in
their eagerness to overtake her,
colide with the waiter, who’s
carrying a travful of gooey
French pastries.
The collision was very realis
tic. Chocolate eclairs and other
cream delicacies flew through the
air as the three hit the floor. One
cream puff actually landed on
Dennis' head, but Director Win
dust didn't include that footage
as it wasn’t “believable enough
in real life," he said.
