Bilko at his best
kmoh-130 May 2022
Bilko is faced by a snobbish local socialite, just back from Paris, who turns down the opportunity to be Doberman's mardi gras queen. Well, Doberman has been to Paris too ("what did I see, I was in a Sherman tank?").

For the honour of the platoon, Bilko has to persuade the reluctant gentry that she wants nothing more than Doberman, that short, glistening ("some would call him greasy") Buddha figure.

Bilko at his most brilliant, devious in his sentimental cause. A number of classic scenes, including Doberman being taught how to talk to a girl (Zimmerman in a wig), and, perhaps the highlight, the Doberman calypso.

More Conniving
StrictlyConfidential12 January 2021
In order for you to get any real entertainment value out of watching this episode from TV's "The Phil Silvers Show" you've gotta be willing to cut it some serious slack.

Anyway - As the story goes - When Pvt. Doberman asks a socialite to be his Mardi Gras queen, she laughs and turns him down. Now Ernie Bilko has got to figure out a way to get even with her.

See what happens when Bilko goes into his shtick of deception and conniving.
