An excellent Esquire profile from 1976 of the comedian Harry Ritz, the sparkplug of the Ritz Brothers comedy team.

The brothers are an acquired taste, perhaps, for today’s audiences. They are tummlers—the guys at Borscht Belt resorts who would do literally anything to get a laugh, with “anything” generally being something loud and disruptive. Tummlers were the roving masters of ceremony, the one-man entertainment committees, the troublemakers who would lead games, songs, dances, while telling jokes and taking pratfalls.

Similarly, the Ritz Brothers, in their film appearances, would usually kick the chaotic energy of a scene up a few notches even as they performed as a well-rehearsed unit, with Harry the leader.

A few examples of Harry Ritz’s work with his brothers:

“He Ain’t Got Rhythm” from On the Avenue

“Here Pussy Pussy” from The Goldwyn Follies

Watching 1939: The Three Musketeers (1939)

In 2011, I announced I was trying to see every film released in 1939. This new series chronicles films released in 1939 as I watch them. As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as I search for a common thread that runs throughout each film of the year. Right now, that’s difficult. 1939 film: The Three Musketeers (1939) Release date: Feb. 17, 1939 Cast: Don Ameche,…

Jesus fucking christ I hate the US south

#Cw gun mention I guess #I was feeling super nauseous so I went into the kitchen to get ritz crackers #And we're at my grandma's rn for Christmas and she has windows in the kitchen that look out at the road/other houses #And NO curtains or blinds because she's old #And anyway I turned a small light on so I could see the crackers and I hear a fucking man outside shout “WHO'S OUT THERE”#In the heaviest southern accent. Mind you every fucking person in this area has a gun bc there's lots of trees with squirreld they shoot #And logically now that I am calming down I know it was just a bad coincidence and he was probably yelling at smthn in his yard #But jesus fucking christ I felt such immediate intense fear my head went cold #Ran to my baby brother's room bc I was certain someone was gonna come kill us #Then the rationality took over and I just told my mom about it. But now I'm sitting outside his room eating crackers bc I'm fucking paranoid #It is almost 4am and I haven't slept a wink I cannot do this rn #But literally the last time I went for a walk around here my dad told me not to go alone and also not to say anything stupid #And also stay far away from houses bc I could get myself shot #Literally what the fuck is this.#“Afearican” except I'm still very much in the US #Not to mention almost every fucking house has a blue lives matter flag and some have isr*el flags now too like #I fuuuuucking hate it here

‘ please don’t leave me. ’ (thisshadeofred Ritz to Ben)

For a moment, Ben looked surprise. Then, as soon as he had snapped back to the moment, he shook his head and opened his arms to the girl. "I won' leave ya, Ritzy... I would nevah leave ya..." He gave her a soft, worried frown. "What makes ya say that? Did I do somethin' ta make ya think I would?"
