Argument to Beethoven's 5th - TV Classic

Happy Birthday Beethoven (baptised on this day, 1770)

Here is a wierd and unexpected tribute: No cue cards, no teleprompters, and no second takes — legendary funnyman Sid Caesar pioneered live television sketch comedy with his 1950s TV show "Your Show of Shows."  

In this classic sketch, "Argument to Beethoven's 5th," Sid Caesar and Nanette Fabray play a couple in an argument with pantomimed action and dialogue. Enjoy!
