Too silly not to share...

ramblin_rosieSo I've been watching the special features disc from my 65th Anniversary Adventures of Robin Hood DVD, and this one part has me giggling madly.
One of the features is Breakdowns of 1938, the blooper reel put together for all the Warner Brothers movies at the end of the year. And this one had something of a running gag--interspersed throughout the reel were snippets of a film test with Basil Rathbone, completely straight-faced, trying on helmets for Guy of Gisbourne's first encounter with Robin Hood. The first few times it isn't all that funny, but it goes on... and on... and on... through allll the close shots... and then toward the end they have the wider shots, sped up and with sound effects that get sillier and sillier. And then, at the very end of that bit, when Basil's finally done and puts the last helmet at an angle and strikes a silly pose, there's a snippet of music played over it:
"Little man, you've had a busy day...."
