DBB.org regular contributor Benjy sent me a link to this very fun video featuring Sid Caesar and Nanette Fabray pantomiming an argument with the first movement of Beethoven’s 5th symphony as a soundtrack. Sid Ceaser was a live sketch comedy pioneer in the 1950s with his sitcoms Your Show of Shows and Ceaser’s Hour.
Check out more contributions from Benjy on the DBB.org articles page–we wrote a great article about auditioning for the Strasbourg Philharmonic at age 54 after being a member of this orchestra for the past 22 years.

This is how I understand : At first the couple is arguing about money , then they nearly be happy again , but the wife found some blonde hair on her husband’s shirt(mistaken for the dog’s fur) so she screamed and started arguing again .The husband was so angry and sad so he left the house . After that , the wife go and pet the dog and realize that the hair on her husband’s shirt was the dog’s fur so she feel sorry and ran to her husband. 😡
