Jack Nicholson said that, to Diane Keaton, in "Something's Gotta Give." Dan N. http://www.silentfilmguide.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneldorado Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Jack Nicholson to Diane Keaton...? Will somebody please tell me if that's correct? Dan N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneldorado Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Okay, I'll supply a new line from a famous movie. "I wouldn't be surprised if the world's greatest love affair was between a Chinaman wearing a pigtail and a girl who's missing two front teeth... if you could measure it." Who said that, to whom, and in what film? Dan N. http://www.silentfilmguide.com Message was edited by: daneldorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftermath Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 You've got some of the best trivia questions to date. I don't know where you get these from but I tip my hat to you for your excellent questions. It is a pleasure to bang my head against the wall trying to think of the answers.

daneldorado Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Thanks for the compliment, aftermath. But I must tip my hat to the master: YOU! Here's a little "quickie" that you posted, about four (4) days ago: "This involves two people. The first one said "In this world there are watchers and doer's. your a watcher and I'm a doer". The second person reply's "Well it's harder for me to watch what your doing when your doing it!" What two people said it and in what movie? Aftermath" I haven't quite reached the head-banging stage yet... but that little bit of trivia has troubled me for days now. I'll concede that YOU are the better player. One of the things you obviously did, before you posted this question, was to check that it didn't appear in the IMDb's "memorable quotes" board. Sure enough, it doesn't. So I'm still scratching my head (no banging yet), trying to figure it out. If you're having a tough time with the questions that I put up, know that you've got company. Dan N.

aftermath Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 You are too kind...I'll settle for a draw but were going to get a lot of other posters mad as hell as alot of them are pretty good also when it comes to trivia questions and answers!

daneldorado Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Well, four (4) days have passed, and there have been no replies to my question about the quote regarding the Chinaman wearing a pigtail. Okay, maybe ANOTHER quote from the same movie will encourage some guesses: "You know, it doesn't make any difference how many people you talk to during the day. If you haven't got someone that really cares for you, you're all alone. You're one person against the world. Unless you have someone - then it's only half as hard. Least you're two against the world." Who said that, to whom, and in what movie?

aftermath Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Just a guess but that corny dialogue sounds like something that Leslie Howard would say to Bette Davis in "The Petrified Forest" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneldorado Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Nope, not Leslie Howard. Although it DOES kind of fit his character in that film, doesn't it? Dan N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftermath Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Was it James Dean to Natalie Wood in "Rebel Without a Cause" in the abandoned mansion with Sal Mineo wearing one red and one blue sock and sleeping in the waterless pool outside the mansion in 1955? Aftermath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneldorado Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Nope, it wasn't James Dean. The two quotes that I've given here are both from the same movie, and they are both said by the same person. The speaker is FEMALE. I'm kind of bummed that, after almost a week, no one here has come up with the correct answer. Here's another hint: Remember, we are on the Turner Classic Movies board.

Bill_McCrary Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Jean Muir to Pat O'Brien in Oil for the Lamps of China? If that's it, somebody else go ahead with another one...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneldorado Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 No, sorry... It isn't Jean Muir. Tomorrow (at least in my time zone) will be the 27th, exactly one week after I posted my quote. I thought for sure, that someone out there in TCM land knew this one. When that didn't happen, I supplied a second quote from the same film. So, what I'm saying is... I'll give you the answer tomorrow. Unless you guys come up with it first. Good night. I'm going to bed. Dan N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneldorado Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 One week ago, I posted a quote from a famous movie. Here it is: "I wouldn't be surprised if the world's greatest love affair was between a Chinaman wearing a pigtail and a girl who's missing two front teeth... if you could measure it." When (much to my surprise) no one came up with the correct title or the speaker, I added a second quote from the same movie: "You know, it doesn't make any difference how many people you talk to during the day. If you haven't got someone that really cares for you, you're all alone. You're one person against the world. Unless you have someone - then it's only half as hard. Least you're two against the world." Both these introspective quotes were spoken by Jean Arthur, in THE DEVIL AND MISS JONES (1941), a film which has been screened by TCM at least three (3) times this year alone. Both quotes are spoken on the sand at Coney Island. The first is delivered to Charles Coburn, when Jean is trying to explain why she is in love with Bob Cummings. The second quote comes later the same day, on the same sand, as Jean tells Cummings her philosophy about the strength of her love. Thanks to all of you who participated.

daneldorado Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Unclear on the rules here. Do I get to post another question, or do I have to make way for a new player? Lemme know, okay?

jdb1 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I think you should go again, since there was no winner. (TCM may have run The Devil and Miss Jones three times this year, but I still haven't ever seen it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneldorado Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Okay, here's another quote from a popular movie of not so long ago. "Last night I had a dream that was so boring, it woke me up. I was afraid to go back to sleep." And here's a hint: The speaker of this quote was, at the time, merely an obscure supporting player. But later the person would become one of the biggest stars on television. Who said that line, and in what movie?

daneldorado Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Nope, not Charles Grodin. Notice that I said the speaker of the quote was an obscure supporting player at the time, but later became a very big television star. Try again.

ayresorchids Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 That rings a bell. Was it The Affairs of Annabel, with Lucille Ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneldorado Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 No, no bell, no Ball. Hmmm.... Looks like I picked a good quote. There are a lot of "memorable quotes" listed on the IMDb for this movie, but this quote is not among them. Still, the line is definitely in the movie. Here's another hint: This film was made in the 1980s. Dan N. http://www.silentfilmguide.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
