Great movie/TV segments with little/no dialogue

[Amateur_Barbarian]

Many of the best Lucy bits are essentially dialogue-free. Do they say much of anything in the candy factory caper?

In the “little dialogue” category: Pale Rider Shootout Clip

[Don_Draper]

A lot of movies made prior to 1929 have great non-dialogue scenes.

The music booth scene in Before Sunrise. All shy and sweet awkward glances while a Kath Bloom song plays.

Not only in France, but also in Germany. They had to cut out a whopping seven minutes before it could be shown in the cinemas. Thankfully, it has been restored in all its glory.

You will find an hommage to that silent scene in Jean-Pierre Melville’s The Red Circle, where the burglary at the jeweller’s is also silent. Originally, Melville was supposed to film Rififi, but gave Jules Dassin the script out of friendship, because Dassin was in a hard place after beeing denounced by Edward Dmytryk and kicked out of the US by the HCUA.

There is a similar near-silent heist scene in Topkapi, Dassin’s own follow-up/spoof of Rififi.

And working backwards through the loop from that one, the prequel to the unmade sequel that was to be the remake of Topkapi, the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, had a wonderful sequence with little dialogue as they tried to corner Crown in the museum filled with doppelgangers.
