Argument to #Beethoven’s Fifth
“No cue cards, no teleprompters, and no second takes--legendary funnyman Sid Caesar pioneered live television sketch comedy with his 1950s sitcoms Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour. This classic sketch is "Argument to Beethoven's 5th," #SidCaesar and #NanetteFabray play a married couple in an argument with pantomimed action and the dialogue is classic music.”
