Movie Mash-Up


Recommended Posts

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.

"Casablanca"?

George

You are correct, sir!

I named all the top actors in it except Bogey.

"You want my professional opinion?

He's nuts!"

""Who is this jerk?

And who told him he could turn off my music?"

"I am the beginning, the end, the one who is many."

"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."

" The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!"

"Star Trek: First Contact"?

George

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.

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 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."
