While singing about Moses, Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor mistreat "Hitler". How so?

Kelly and O'Connor pile bric-a-brac on the voice coach, played by Bobby Watson. Worth watching: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x58twn_donald-oconnor-gene-kelly-moses-sup_fun Watson found his true niche in the 1940s, when his startling resemblance to Adolf Hitler assured him plenty of screen work. He alternately portrayed Der Führer as a raving madman in such serious films as The Hitler Gang (1942) and as a slapsticky buffoon in such comedies as The Devil With Hitler (1942) and That Nazty Nuisance (1943). Legend has it that he faced so much hostility on the set while made up as Hitler that he had to remain locked in his dressing room between takes. After the war, Watson fell from prominence, playing a few sizeable character roles in films like The Paleface (1948) and Red, Hot and Blue (1949) before settling into such uncredited minor parts as the voice coach ("Moses supposes his toeses are roses") in Singin' in the Rain (1952). http://www.answers.com/topic/bobby-watson Oct 18 10, 1:53 AM

Good job! Watson's resemblance to Hitler is difficult to discern in "Singin' in the Rain", but it's obvious in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDGJd_nf9gE Oct 18 10, 7:53 AM
