The Lady Eve Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 How true about *Some Like it Hot* - thanks, phroso, I?ll be back when I come up with a famous quote? Link to post Share on other sites
The Lady Eve Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 "Sing out...just walk and tip..." Link to post Share on other sites
The Lady Eve Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 More specifically: ?Sing out, Louise! Just walk and tip?? Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Okay, I'll bite. The addition of "Louise" changes things. Is it from "Gypsy" (1962)? Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
The Lady Eve Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 ?tis *Gypsy* alright?somehow I thought the ?sing out? would give it away?seemed Mama Rose was constantly squawking ?sing out? to the poor girl?good work, Dan, the thread is yours? Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks, Eve... Here's a quote some of you will remember: "Don't bother me! I'm giving birth!" Wait, wait... That line is interesting, because it is spoken by a man. Who said it, and in what film? Hint: The film was made in the 1930s. Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Somehow, Cary Grant comes to mind. Is this from BRINGING UP BABY? Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hi, fi... Sorry, no. Cary Grant is not our man. Here's another hint: The film in question is a musical, highlighting its female star. It was released in the 1930s. Name the film, and the actor -- a MALE -- who said: "Don't bother me, I'm giving birth!" Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hi... I just watched my video copy of the movie in question, and I have to change the wording of the quote I've given you. I can't imagine that it would make much difference, but anyway, instead of "don't bother me..." the actual words are: "Don't talk to me. I'm giving birth!" Remember, that quote was uttered by a MAN. Never thought a man could "give birth," but if you think carefully, you may realize that he was talking about something other than having a baby. Who said that quote, and in what film? Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Clark Gable in Dancing Lady ? Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 mudskipper wrote: Clark Gable in Dancing Lady ? No, mudskip, not Clark Gable. But I admire the fact that you are working the clues I've given. I did say that the film in question is a 1930s' musical that highlighted its leading lady. "Dancing Lady" IS a '30s musical, and it starred Joan Crawford in dancing mode. But Clark Gable, who was her leading man, did not say the quote in question. Here is the quote, once again: "Don't talk to me. I'm giving birth!" (Spoken by a MALE.) Another clue: One of the characters in this film is a woman who was impersonating her own mother. Who spoke the line, and in what film? Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I haven't looked, but it's obvious this one's not in imdb! Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 sixes guessed: "Evergreen?" Yes, but who said it? Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Just going by your info, was thinking either "Roberta" or "Evergreen", but, of course the last clue decided that. However having never seen it, that I remember, I'll just guess it may have been either the publicity man, 'Tommy Thompson' (Barry MacKay) OR the theater producer 'Leslie Benn' (Sonnie Hale) ?

daneldorado Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Yes, it was Barry MacKay as publicity man Tommy Thompson. In the scene, he has just hit upon a stupendous new "stunt" for a stage production. He is thinking hard about it, and that is why he says "I'm giving birth!" Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Assuming I'm up...glad that's over, that quote's been haunting me since dan first posed it last summer and left it unresolved. here's one from a popular noir: "responsibility...I'll spell it for you, t-r-a-p." --film, speaker?
