  1. "I've got an idea. Our folks think we're babes in arms. Well, we'll show them whether we're babes in arms or not. I'm gonna write a show for us and put it on right here in Seaport...How about it, kids? -- Michael C. Moran (Mickey Rooney) in "Babes in Arms" (1939).

  5. "You wanna get Capone? Here's how you get him. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way! And that's how you get Capone." -- Jimmy Malone (Sir Sean Connery) to Eliot Ness (Kevin Costner) in "The Untouchables" (1987).
  6. "Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young." -- Ida Corwin (Eve Arden) to Mildred Pierce (Joan Crawford) in "Mildred Pierce" (1945).
  7. I love "The Long Hot Summer" because it reminds me of the 1960s TV series of the same title. Several episodes are on YouTube. It starred Edmond O'Brien as Will Varner, Nancy Malone as his daughter Clara and Paul Newman lookalike Roy Thinnes (before "The Invaders") as Ben Quick. Paul Geary co-starred as Jody Varner, while Lana Wood (Natalie's younger sister) appeared as Eula Johnson. Ruth Roman played Minnie Littlejohn. The show's theme song was the one by Jimmie Rodgers that was used in the movie. O'Brien left the series after a dispute with the producers and was replaced at midseason by Dan O'Herlihy.
  8. "If you wanna call me that, smile." -- The Virginian (Gary Cooper) to Trampas (Walter Huston) in "The Virginian" (1929).
  9. The definition makes sense. I always think of Moe Howard when I hear the word "mugs."
  10. "I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching...they'll see. They'll see and they'll know, and they'll say, 'Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly...'

  13. "He chose...poorly." -- The Grail Knight (Robert Eddison) to Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (1989).
  14. How about the phrase "In like Flynn"? I believe it was derived from the legendary romantic escapades of the movies' favorite swashbuckler, Errol Flynn.
  15. "This never happened to the other fellow." -- George Lazenby as James Bond in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969), the first of the serious 007 films that did not star Sir Sean Connery.
  16. I think you just hit the jackpot there! I just remembered that Scarlett Johansson doesn't do television. Although his true name is Lloyd Bridges III, it's entirely possible his nickname was inspired by the character Beau Wilkes in "GWTW."
  17. No. Brett Butler's birth name was Anderson, and she was named after another literary character -- Lady Brett Ashley from Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises." She gained the last name Butler when her mother married a man with that name. My guess would be the obvious one -- Scarlett Johansson.
  18. "Ah, but the strawberries! That's...that's where I had them." -- Captain Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) in "The Caine Mutiny" (1954).

  22. TCM On Demand for June 2, 2015 The following feature is now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 1. The Drowning Pool (1975) -- Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Anthony Franciosa, Murray Hamilton, Gail Strickland. Melanie Griffith, Linda Haynes, Richard Jaeckel, Paul Koslo, Joe Canutt, Andrew Robinson, Coral Browne, Richard Derr, Helena Kallianiotes, Leigh French. Nine years after "Harper" (1966), Newman reprised the role of private detective Lew Harper in this screen adaptation of Ross Macdonald's 1950 novel. The hero of Macdonald's mystery series was Lew Archer, but Newman's successes in films with the letter 'H' in their titles ("The Hustler," "Hud," and later "Hombre") prompted a name change. Directed by frequent Newman collaborator Stuart Rosenberg ("Cool Hand Luke," "WUSA"), the drama finds Harper in Louisiana, investigating a blackmail case against Iris Devereaux (Woodward), an old flame. Newman reprises the role of detective Lew Harper in this sequel Griffith, who co-stars as Schuyler Devereaux, Iris's spoiled-rotten daughter, had a breakthrough year in 1975. The 17-year-old Griffith, whose mother is actress 'Tippi' Hedren ("The Birds," "Marnie"), played another seductive nymphet opposite a private detective played by Gene Hackman in the well-regarded mystery film "Night Moves." She also showed promise as one of many beauty queens who invade the city of Santa Rosa, California in "Smile!" -- director Michael Ritchie's satire on pageants. This was one of five Newman and Woodward film collaborations aired by Turner Classic Movies beginning in prime time on Monday, June 1, 2015 and spilling over into the early morning hours of Tuesday, June 2nd. Expires June 8, 2015. 2. Rachel, Rachel (1968) -- Joanne Woodward, James Olson, Kate Harrington, Estelle Parsons, Donald Moffat, Terry Kiser, Frank Corsaro, Bernard Barrow, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Nell Potts, Shawn Campbell, Violet Dunn, Beatrice Pons, Dortha Duckworth. Paul Newman made his debut as a director with this drama that earned four Academy Award nominations: Best Picture, Best Actress (Woodward), Best Supporting Actress (Parsons) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Stewart Stern). Although Newman was overlooked for Oscars recognition, he went on to direct several other films, including "WUSA" (1970), "Sometimes a Great Notion" (1971) and "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" (1972). The film stars Woodward as Rachel Cameron, a thirtyish, unmarried schoolteacher who lives with her widowed mother (Kate Harrington) in a New England town. The story focuses on her involvement with a onetime high school classmate (Olson), the the consequences of their affair. Parsons, who won the 1967 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for "Bonnie and Clyde," co-stars as Rachel's best friend. Woodward's Academy Award nomination was the second of four that she would receive during her career. She won the 1957 Best Actress award in only her third screen effort, playing a woman with multiple personalities in "The Three Faces of Eve." She also received Best Actress nods for "Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams" (1973) and "Mr. & Mrs. Bridge" (1990). Stern, who died February 2, 2015 at the age of 92, adapted the screenplay from the 1966 novel "A Jest of God" by Canadian author Margaret Laurence. Nell Newman, the eldest daughter of Newman and Woodward, appears in the film as the young Rachel. She was billed as Nell Potts, a name she would use again for a more substantial role in her parents' 1972 collaboration "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds."

This Cold War-era film comedy was based on the 1956 novel by Max Shulman, who created the popular movie and television character Dobie Gillis. Directed by Leo McCarey ("The Awful Truth," "Going My Way"), the storyline revolves around plans by the U.S. government to install an Army missile base in the sleepy New England town of Putnam's Landing. Hickman and Weld co-starred in the CBS sitcom "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis," which ran from 1959 to 1963. This was the penultimate screen effort by McCarey, who also produced it and adapted the screenplay with Claude Binyon. Filmmaker George Axelrod provided some uncredited contributions).
