Throwback Thursday Comedy Showcase: Sid Caesar's Foreign Language Gibberish in "Movies Around the World"

One of Sid Caesar's formidable talents was the ease with which he delivered monologues in foreign languages which in reality was just gibberish or doubletalk.

A good example of this was a sketch on the Admiral Broadway Revue in April 1949 in which Caesar portrayed foreign movie industry leaders arriving at LaGuardia Airport on their way to the annual cinema conference. 

As he gets off the plane he is interviewed about the Italian, French, and Russian entries in the film competition. He describes each film in fluent gibberish.

Enjoy!
