Michael Dunn


Michael Dunn's brief role in No Way To Treat A Lady lent a bit of black humor to the scenario. As Mr. Kupperman, he tries to convince George Segal that despite his size, he was able to strangle the victims. When Segal expresses doubt that he could do it, Dunn gets mad and accuses Segal of being a bigot toward "little people." When Segal denies it, Dunn's rejoiner "Yeah, but would your sister to marry one." Considering the attitude toward mixed marriages at the time, this comment is unintentional funny.

Saw nothing 'black' about the humor. Is certainly the funniest and might be the best scene in the movie.

I vote "intentionally funny," and best scene in the movie.
