    My wife and I laughed our heads off watching a BW movie called "The Sky's the Limit".

    There is an after dinner scene at about 1h4m where the speaker fumbles his way through some charts and graphics. Something we've all seen before (albeit with PPT) or perhaps even experienced first hand?

    I instantly thought of this group.

    Does anyone have, or know of a place, where this clip may be on the Internet.

    I had no luck on YouTube and I don't have a copy. Would love to point people at it if you can help.

    Is it in there?

    Hey thanks Nathan,

    Sadly no, but the section is a bit before the 'One for my baby' song. I see lots of tap dancers have put up clips - but the chart comedy routine was quite out of place.

    The actor is Robert Benchley, and it seems a few people are looking for it.

    Saw your Tweet too. Here's hoping someone has access to it.

    Cheers.

    Great stuff - Seems someone has since uploaded the clip I was talking about, albeit not very high quality.

    There is a bit of preamble that gives some context, but the infographics kicks in at about 2:15

    Enjoy :-)
