Who says “Don come in again like that” in Orabidoo? Is it from a movie?
The film is called ‘Young and Innocent’, and was directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The scene is at the end of the movie. The two young protagonists have been framed for some crime and are on the run from the police. Their only hope is to find the real criminal who is currently playing the drums in a black and white minstrel band in a restaurant. When the villain sees the police looking for the two heroes, he thinks they are looking for him and this triggers a ridiculous nervous facial twitch – which he knows is the only thing that will give him away. It is therefore imperative that he turn his back on them. This he accomplishes by improvising a xylophone break during the number the band are playing. It’s not very good and at the end the band leader comes up to him and says, “Don’t come in again like that, it isn’t funny and I pay someone else to make the orchestration.” Credit: Jon Dunn, jondunn@speakeasy.org, Roy Rashbrook, roy@rashbrook.freeserve.co.uk.
