BIRDY Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I just re-watched Once Upon a Honeymoon last night and heard Ginger Rogers say "Now you're cooking with Helium!" Link to post Share on other sites
BIRDY Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Cinemascope - I knew I had heard 'teched' in some 30's comedy/musical type movies - and just noticed one this weekend when re-watching Ready, Willing, and Able, spoken by Ruby Keeler. Thought you'd get a kick out of that! Link to post Share on other sites

klondike Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hey, couple of real doozies: Remember my mentioning my Mom's use of "gallavanting"? Well just t'other day I recalled the opposite: when you're trying to stall for time while going somewhere to do something, you're guilty of: "Lollygagging"! And just now, in my new DVD of the Busby Berkely musical "The Gang's All Here" (a real treat for all you Carmen Miranda fans!), I just heard Eugene Pallette caution Edward Everett Horton, upon barging into a NYC nightclub: "Don't be a square from Delaware!" That's just too cool for school! Link to post Share on other sites
SueSueApplegate Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 When I'm not gallavantin', I am definitely a lollygagger! Link to post Share on other sites
JackBurley Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I'm told (elsewhere on this forum) that the word "simile" is dead like a doornail. But Jiminy Cricket, I still think it's swell and I intend to continue using it. Solid Jackson! Link to post Share on other sites
SueSueApplegate Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Simile, simile, wherefore arte thou? Tis the East, and Juliet.... like what a babe! She's got the action, Jackson... Link to post Share on other sites

pandorainmay Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I heard this nicely turned phrase out of the side of William Demarest's mouth in Whispering Smith(1949) last week, expressing his joy at seeing two boyhood pals Alan Ladd & Robert Preston together again: "I'm so happy...that I could spit nickels!"
