For your consideration:

The Milton Berle Spectacular (1962 TV Movie)

Berle tries a comeback with this special, with highlights showing him competing with Jack trying to demonstrate the right approach Laurence Harvey should take in comedy, and a musical skit where Jack as Ben Hur, Harvey as Spartacus and Milton as Cleopatra lamenting their Movie depictions. Kirk Douglas and Charlton Heston make silent, uncredited cameos.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0648545/mediaviewer/rm575374593/

Milton Berle in The Milton Berle Spectacular (1962)

Note: Milton Berle frequently played characters in drag.

Added. Thanks. By the way, you know if the IMDB mobile app has the POLL feature? I can't find it.

Peter and mariojacobs,

I am using the IMDb Android app on my phone. I keep my apps update to date. I suspect that the IMDb Android and the iPhone / iPad apps are different.

I do not see a section labeled Keep Exploring IMDb on the home page.These are the sections I see:

I also do not see the search tab labeled Community. These are the tabs that I see:

I did not see a link to the IMDb polls on any of these tabs except for the occasional link in the Editors' picks.

It is a terrible film, even by Ed Wood standards, but Glen or Glenda was probably one of the earliest films dealing with the topic, and I suspect it may get some votes from bad film lovers

mariojacobs,

I second Pencho15's suggestion of Glen or Glenda. I intended to also suggest this film even though it is a laughably awful film.

mariojacobs,

Thread Bump

https://www.webopedia.com/definitions/thread-bump/

In online forums and other online discussion spaces bump is the word used to describe an action (e.g. a message post) so that a particular thread is returned to the top in the list of threads. Some users may even post a message with only the word “bump” to indicate they are posting only to bump the thread to the top of the list where more users will see it.
