Barbara Billingsley's scene in Airplane was flat-out the best scene of the entire move. And that ain't no jive.
@akrenwinkle10 жыл бұрын
Barbara was a treasure doing housework in pearls back in the day, and then a treasure all over again in Airplane. Brilliant, inspired casting. The producers must have thought, "Who is the last person in the world you'd expect to speak jive; that's who we'll get." A fantastic idea, and didn't Barbara pull it off perfectly?

@sdnm86 The producers intentionally cast actors who didn't perform comedy normally to play rolls in the movie. Leslie Nielsen and Barbra Billingsley got the greatest benefit from it. Nielsen went from being a movie of the week actor to getting top billing in movies. He was as big as he was back in the early 1960s.

I was a kid in the 1950's when "Leave It To Beaver" began. June Cleaver always wore nice clothes & pearls, as Barbara is here. The difference is Mrs. Cleaver never said "They didn't want Whitey to know what they were talking about". But Mrs. Cleaver did use the word "Whitey" in the show on many occasions. If you're a "Leave It To Beaver" fan you know what I mean. Barbara, thanks for all the memories.

@gynecolog1st That was like THIRTY YEARS AGO, I'm sure at the time it was easier because they guys were helping her with it. Heck i'm going back to school after a decade and stuff that was easy for me then, isn't as easy as it used to be because my brain hasn't been thinking about that for forever. That's only 10 years, Airplane was THIRTY.

yeah, but the scene in the movie was a parody of actual urban slang, and I think that's what she's talking about. Of course, slang exists in all places and in all communities. That's why it's difficult to learn how to speak a foreign language like those who grew up with the language, because typically you learn how to speak the "formal" part of the language, but most people incorporate some form of slang or colloquialisms into their speech that is not always easy to teach to someone.

my grandfather, who was born in 1904, used the term "colored" and didn't mean anything racist by it. The African Americans I know prefer "black". "Black" might not be accurate, but "white" isn't that accurate either. Native Americans I know don't mind "Indian", but with the growing population FROM India, using "Native American" isn't a matter of being PC, it's a matter of being clear.
