Emgee66 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 *Stalag 17* Robert Strauss as Animal I'd like to know what made him do it. Animal: Maybe he just wanted to steal our wire cutters. You ever think of that? Link to post Share on other sites
flashback42 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Emgee66; Correct re the Strauss quote. IMO, one of the really cool curtain lines. Your thread, to either post a question or open. Link to post Share on other sites
Emgee66 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 James Cagney: wishing well Link to post Share on other sites
flashback42 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 "I wish you was a wishing well so that I could tie a bucket to ya and sink ya." ...Cagney to Mae Clark in Public Enemy -- the famous scene involving the grapefruit. Joseph Wiseman -- fingers. Link to post Share on other sites
flashback42 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 The Wiseman-fingers reference could be cumbersome due to the length of the scene. Some narrowing down may be useful. Either of these may work: finger of righteousness finger of vengeance finger of transportation Link to post Share on other sites
flashback42 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 RETIRING THE QUESTION This is a good Trivia question, but the flow of the scene makes it too cumbersome for the way this thread is set up. The Night They Raided Minsky's (1968) Two opinionated and stiff-necked men, one Jewish, one Amish, are in a theological conflict, based on their different interpretations of Scripture. Starting with the Fist of Righteousness and moving to the fingers, it goes all over the place, until they decide to go to the theater and try to avert a crisis. (BTW, the Finger of Transportation turns out to be the thumb -- in a hitchhiker's gesture.) Open thread. Link to post Share on other sites

LonesomePolecat Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hmmm.... what comes to mind is either the great closing speech from *Judgment at Nuhremberg* ("We stand for justice, truth, and the value of a single human being") or the angry one from *Adam's Rib* that he says as he's packing ("Contempt for the law, that's what you've got, and it's a disease!")
