daneldorado Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 relax sez: "Charles Coburn in the movie with Jean Arthur about the store guy posing as a worker.???.. the dummy was in the protest parade." And relax is RIGHT!!! "The Devil and Miss Jones" (1941) is the movie, and Coburn plays the richest man in the world, grumbling that protesters have hoisted an effigy of him. You go, relax! Hey, I like your screen name! Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites

daneldorado Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 "Eddie Murphy - Coming to America?" No. Just now, I scanned the cast of "Coming to America" (1988), and I don't find any character in that film named Elizabeth. Out of curiosity: What made you pick that movie? Dan N.

CharlieT Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Maybe Bartlett was thinking Dan Akroyd in Trading Places and got mixed up. CharlieT Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Yeah that's the ticket Dan Akroyd! What else could it be? Yeah that's the ticket!...Yeah Yeah "Trading Places" that's the ticket!!! Bartlett Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Yeah "Trading Places" that's the ticket!!! No, it isn't. Once again, I have perused the IMDb site for the cast of "Trading Places," and I don't find a character named Elizabeth in the movie. Try again.

richardk Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 What movie is the phrase 'blonde on a bum trip' from? I could SWEAR it's from a Busby Berkeley musical, because I wrote it down along with other quotes* from Golddiggers of 1933 and 1935, 42nd St, and Dames, which TCM showed a couple months ago. Also I watched 'I Want to Live' around the same time, but I've watched all these again and can't find it. At any rate, it must be from some movie shown on TCM within the same few days as their Busby Berkeley series. I am not referring to the time Candy Darling says it Andy Warhol's Women in Revolt ('more like, bum on a blonde trip'), nor to the 1960's exploitation movie with this name. ----------------------------------------------------------------- *'What does he use? I'll smoke it too.' 'Cheap and vulgar!!!' 'I'm free, white, and 21 -- I want to dance and I'm GOING to dance!' Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 "Blonde on a Bum Trip" is the name of a movie made in 1968. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062740/ Meanwhile, can we get back to the "famous line" in this thread? "Elizabeth! Money isn't everything. You could LEARN to love me!" Who said that, and in what film? Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites
richardk Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 > > Meanwhile, can we get back to the "famous line" in > this thread? > Meanwhile, can we get back to reading the messages in the first place? I specifically stated in my post that I was not referring to the movie you mention. Though I might be interested to know how a movie from the 30s could quote a movie from 1968.

GabeFrancis Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I think I've got it. Kim Basinger is named Elizabeth in NINE AND A HALF WEEKS. So I guess it's Mickey Rourke asking her to love him. Link to post Share on other sites

So I guess it's Mickey Rourke asking her to love him. Sorry, no. Wrong Elizabeth. Maybe it will help you trivia buffs if I tell you that this is the FUNNIEST line in the entire film. "Elizabeth!

daneldorado Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Is it from this new movie, The Queen, about Queen Elizabeth? Nope, it's not from the 2006 movie with Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth. Judith has expressly forbidden me to ask questions about new movies.

txrd999 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 well if i can jump in... i know this is wrong, but i figured nobody has replied and there are no new hints... soooo is it from "what's new **** cat?" the woody allen flic.... i am really stumped, i could think of a about 10 movies where this line could fit, but i can't seem to be able to put my finger on the decade. so there's is a shot in the dark. thanks Dan.

txrd999 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 hey sorry they edited me....but hopefully you know the movie title... what's new @ussy cat? Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 No, the quote is not from "What's New, Pussycat" (1965). Once again... I perused the cast of characters for that movie, and I fail to find a character named "Elizabeth." If it's any help to you folks: The movie in question is from the era before the USA's entry into World War II. Dan N. http://www.silentfilmguide.com Link to post Share on other sites
keywest Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 The Devil and Miss Jones.... Mr Merrick, Charles Coburn to Elizabeth, Spring Byington. She does not think she could love a man who is rich!!!!!!!!! Silly girl!! Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 The Devil and Miss Jones.... Mr Merrick, Charles Coburn to Elizabeth, Spring Byington. She does not think she could love a man who is rich!!!!!!!!! Silly girl!! Absolutely correct, keywest!! In context, that line -- "Elizabeth! Money isn't everything... you could LEARN to love me!" -- is the funniest line in the movie, and one of the funniest lines ever. Because that sort of talk is usually spoken by a POOR man. But here, it is used by the richest man in the world. Funny stuff. Now it's your turn, keywest. Dan N. http://www.silentfilmguide.com Link to post Share on other sites
