    If that's the biggest mistake I've made this week, I can live with it. I last saw the movie in, I think, 1969. Still, up next:

     

    "I think I'll have a drink."

     

    (A final line.)

  2. "David, are you insane? Right smack dab in front of your paranoid future in-laws, you are hustling the chauffeur's daughter!!"

    ...the incomprable Nancy Marchand to Greg Kinner in *Sabrina* (1995)

     

    "You know me, Raymond. I'd have to negotiate a loan to weigh myself."

    ...Bert Lahr to Jason Robards in *The Night They Raided Minsky's*

     

    "This guy Coyle, he gets around more than any one man I know. One day he's here, next day he's there, he's like some f****ng stray dog. I'd give anything to know half of what he's into."

    ...Richard Jordan to Mitch Ryan in *The Friends Of Eddie Coyle*

  3. Thanks, Sixes. I just feel lucky. BTW, do you use the "watch this thread" -- Email hookup to keep track of the threads you're watching? I try to, but can't make the damn thing go since the last update of the system. TCMAdmin, bless their hearts, assure me they've set it up right, so it must be my fault. Maybe so.

     

    Anyway, an old favorite that came back to my attention recently. Not by seeing the movie again, but in a Bio Channel essay about one of the stars. Here goes: A closing comment:

     

    "Can love really travel back in time and heal a broken heart? Was it our joined hands that finally lifted M____'s curse? I'd like to thank so. But there's some things I know for certain: Always throw spilt salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck and fall in love whenever you can."

  4. Sixes, this is a rare incident of me having (I think) instant recognition. I did no reasearch except to go to a title site and make sure I had the right spelling for the name of one of the actors. If I'm right,

    that was Gene Hackman's opening comment regarding memories of his dad, Melvyn Douglas, in *I Never Sang For My Father*. Saw it once, years ago, but that opening impressed me. (??)
