   Well the man with the glass is Hugh Hubert but he drank in a lot of films so narrowing it down to which one might take a bit 🙂 The pajamas are probably a great clue.

    Hugh Herbert is the actor pouring the cocktail. The film could be either “Eternally Yours” (1939) or “Private Affairs” (1940).

    Looks veddy British to this Midwestern farm boy. Maybe the 1930s. Perhaps a Scotch and soda?

    The gentleman making himself a drink is comedian Hugh Herbert. He’s prominent in Warner Brothers films from about 1933-38, Universal films in the ’40s, and Columbia shorts from the late ’40s to early ’50s. I love that blimp over the camera!

    I rarely get a chance to check in before the answers are posted, but yes, this is my arch nemesis Hugh “Mumblypants” Herbert. I don’t think we get to see that shelf very well in the film — at least I never noticed it before — and it is absolutely gorgeous.

    Hugh Herbert had perhaps the funniest hands in the movies. He was one of the first character actors I came to recognize and love as a kid. Always looked forward to seeing him ‘woo-hoo-hoo’.

    BTW: The wider version of those table risers, after about 1940, became known as Alan-Ladds, for obvious reasons.
