An immortal piece of comedy from the immortal team. The "Bum" is the same actor who plays "Mr. Fields" the landlord in the television series and his lawyer in this clip.
I first saw "slowly I crept" as a child on our 10 inch Dumont black and white television-found a photo (below) of the Dumont in the family album-state of the art back then, and was hooked forever. It is good to know that some childhood impressions last, validly, forever (now where can I find a Kukla, Fran and Ollie clip?)
For younger folk who can't believe such technology existed, in due course the next generation will think the same about the I-pad etc. For me, at the time, as can be seen, the b&w was pure magic!
