By coincidence, I happened to be watching this week's "NCIS Los Angeles" episode, where it was mentioned that Claude Rains was in "Casablanca." I have not seen the movie, but I suspect that Dooley Wilson was "Sam," singing and playing the piano.

The star of this film gets career advice, including "If you wanna make it, twinkle while you shake it" and "If you wanna bump it, bump it with a trumpet."
Before the decision was made to dub most of her vocals, Rosalind Russell attempted to do her own singing. The highly unsatisfactory results can be heard as an extra feature on the soundtrack CD. After Ethel Merman's death, a tape of the Russell recordings was found in a box in Merman's closet. Merman, who was infuriated that she had not been cast in the film, evidently had retained this copy of the Russell vocals as a strange and somewhat vengeful consolation prize.
Ann-Margret was the first choice for the title role.

The soundtrack album for this movie reached number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. It was the first film soundtrack to reach number one without containing a single original song.

Human without the bean
Why didn't you say that 2 days ago Mr. Wolf? Your right Rottie, They are pretty good. Makes it tough on me to get my 2 cents in.
Human without the bean
I was way off going with "The Terminal", except that it didn't have any articles of clothing in the title. I assume WordWolf is correct, but I'm not familiar with it. But that's not unusual.

Stallone. Also well-known for reprising his Rocky role. I can't see him in Eddie Murphy's role in BHC, though... George

Per the first post, quotes are permissible clues for this thread.

That's it.
For the curious, here's how the quotes went.
"You want my professional opinion?
He's nuts!"
Deanna to Riker, after Deanna tried to deal with Cochrane, which required drinking
a lot. She was sloshed, and I actually liked the character for once.
""Who is this jerk?
And who told him he could turn off my music?"
Zephram Cochrane, discovering Riker turned off his jukebox.
"I am the beginning, the end, the one who is many."
The Borg Queen, on her arrival.
"Someone once said, "Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make its own judgements.""
"That's rhetorical nonsense. Who said that?"
"You did."
Geordi and Zephram Cochrane, quoting what he'd later say to him,
" The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!"
Captain Picard, channeling Captain Ahab, furious at the Borg. (Well, it was personal.)

I got it from the last one, and then the rest just fell into place.

That's the one.
When Gypsy Rose Lee is getting started, a couple of her co-workers tell her (in song) that "You Gotta Have a Gimmick":
