I’ve had this clip from the Wheeler and Woolsey movie Diplomaniacs (1933) just sitting open in my browser for over a month. I don’t know why, so I’m posting it here.
@Star2236 I came across it because I was looking up the actress, who appeared in the first Three Stooges short. This is how is was described on wikipedia, and why I immediately looked it up:
In 1933, White had a featured role in the Joseph Mankiewicz-scripted political satire Diplomaniacs starring the team of Wheeler and Woolsey. Marjorie is Dolores, a femme fatale custom-ordered by the film’s villain (she arrives wrapped in plastic from a chute in the wall) to seduce Willy (Bert Wheeler) and steal secret plans from him. Wheeler and White’s duet “Sing For Me” is performed while the tiny White physically assaults Wheeler because he is reluctant to sing to her in a send-up of the typical boy-girl romantic song scenes of the era.

It’s just an odd scene and one you don’t forget. I’ve either seen the movie or them talk about the movie and show that scene on tcm (probably while talking Sbout the actress).
I think I’ve seen that before at my dads. That scene is familiar.

That’s hilarious!
And here’s the Marjorie White/Bert Wheeler duet “Sing to Me” referenced above:
