daneldorado Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Okay, let's try this line: "I was lucky to find it on such short notice. I mean, it's not perfect. The building's been burglarized a couple of times and the woman down the hall has mice, but, you know, the lobby's decent. Key word is -- it's cheap." Who said that, and in what movie?

daneldorado Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Okay, this line is short, but it's funny... especially in context. "Oh yes. The purest Anglo-Saxons are found in the Kentucky mountains." You don't have to tell me who speaks the line... because the person is uncredited. But it's a significant movie. What's the title, and WHY is it significant? Dan N. http://www.silentfilmguide.com Link to post Share on other sites
GabeFrancis Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Sounds like a line from BROKEN BLOSSOMS. Is it a silent film? GF Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Sounds like a line from BROKEN BLOSSOMS. Is it a silent film? No, it's not from the silent days. Think nineteen-thirties. Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 No guesses lately, so I'll have to bump this one. It is really too good to die on the vine. The "famous line" is: "Oh yes. The purest Anglo-Saxons are found in the Kentucky mountains." You don't have to tell me who speaks the line... because the person is uncredited. But it's a significant movie. What's the title, and WHY is it significant? Here's the scenario: A Jewish-American entrepreneur is conducting a search for a certain "somebody." He suggests his wife's cousin, "twice removed." But his Irish-American assistant says, no... it has to be an Anglo-Saxon. So the impresario calls his secretary and asks where they can find an Anglo-Saxon. She answers with the above line. Don't worry, this movie is not about prejudice. These are people just trying to come up with ideas that will please the American public. The film is funny as hell... and it is significant for one important reason. Name the film, and tell us why it is significant.

txrd999 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 i know this is probably wrong, but this is all i got... it reminds me of a movie i saw a long time ago. i think it was "dames" i can't remember too much about the film i was just a id when i saw it.. but there ya go karith:) Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 i know this is probably wrong, but this is all i got... it reminds me of a movie i saw a long time ago. i think it was "dames" No, it's not "Dames" (1934). But at least one of the players in "Dames" -- Zasu Pitts -- also appears in the movie in question. Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 A week has passed since I posted this query: Okay, this line is short, but it's funny... especially in context. "Oh yes. The purest Anglo-Saxons are found in the Kentucky mountains." You don't have to tell me who speaks the line... because the person is uncredited. But it's a significant movie. What's the title, and WHY is it significant? The correct film title is PROFESSIONAL SWEETHEART (1933). It is significant because it was Ginger Rogers' first starring film. Ginger was a busy girl in 1933, appearing in ten (10!) films released that year, beginning with 42ND STREET and finishing the year in a flourish, with FLYING DOWN TO RIO, her first film with Fred Astaire. They went on to make ten movies together. In PROFESSIONAL SWEETHEART, Ginger plays a spoiled radio star named Glory Eden, who is promoted by her sponsor as "The Purity Girl." But Glory doesn't want to be "pure" -- she wants to have fun, have romance, have a ball at ritzy night clubs etc. To reign in her passions, her sponsor (Gregory Ratoff) conceives the idea of getting her a boy friend -- for a fee, of course. Sort of a "professional sweetheart." He recommends his wife's cousin; but Frank McHugh, as his personal assistant, jumps in with: "No no. He's got to be an Anglo-Saxon." Ratoff wonders: Where can I find an Anglo-Saxon? Yeah, it's that kind of movie. The higher-ups are clueless as to what is going on in the real world. They do find Glory a professional sweetheart -- Jim, played by Norman Foster, who was Claudette Colbert's hubby at the time -- but Jim truly believes that Glory is the purity girl she portrays on radio, and the two of them are married before he wises up. Some very, very funny scenes in this film. It exists, it gets shown on Turner Classic Movies, but so far there's been no hint of a DVD release. Wonder why not?

daneldorado Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Here's a line I'm sure you all know: "There's a most intriguing acrostic in The Needle Woman. I'm going to try to unravel it before you wake up." Who said that, and in what film? Dan N. http://www.silentfilmguide.com Link to post Share on other sites
