Gloria Pall's genuinely ticklish tootsies are on full tortured display in "The Brothers Karamazov" :laughing:

Enjoy 🙂

What a classic....one of the best mainstream tickling scenes in history....

So what exactly was going on during that scene? Someone's playing the fiddle, there's random girl tied to a bed, a fight breaks out, what's the story there?

It's just an orgiastic scene which occurs early in the film to establish Cobb's character as a dissipated and licentious old reprobate. Dostoevsky, in the novel, does not describe the tickling scene. The filmmakers, no doubt, seized on the popular perception of erotic tickling as a peculiarly Russian characteristic and used it as visual shorthand for old Karamazov's cruel and sensual nature.

Towards the end of the clip two guys get a little rowdy.

The scene at the end of the clip is where his servant comes to tell him that his youngest son - a priest - has come to see him. Apparently this son (played by William Shatner in his first role 😱) is the only one the old man likes, so the tickling stops at that point. I've never bothered to watch the film beyond that point 🙂laughing: ) except I know from reading reviews that the old man steals his sons' money, the oldest one (Yul Brenner) kills him, and at least one reviewer thought the ticklee was Maria Schell. 🙄

Gloria Pall was far from the only uncredited actor in The Brothers Karamazov, but have no doubt: that's her.

...

Just remembered: Marilyn Monroe tried really hard to get the role of "Grushenka". Obviously she didn't get it. But imagine if the producers could have convinced her to accept the role of the ticklee! 😱 :laughing:

What I really wonder is, how many times did they have to shoot the scene...?????????????????????? I don't really think they got it right the first time... did they?

 

[The Director]

According to Gloria Pall in her account from "Tickled In Brothers K" she beat out four other women for the part because her feet were so ticklish. She also says that the tickling scene took exactly eight hours to film. It also doesn't sound like Lee J. Cobb was much of a tickler.
