I can't find "play it again sam" in that movie at all. The closest I find is "Play it Sam, If she can take it so can I" . Personally I blame Woody Allen for introducing this fallacy. and furthermore I attribute the decline of America to Woody Allen. It's all his fault.
I'm sure I'd been hearing "Play it again, Sam", long before the Woody Allen movie. It's one of those things that just crept into culture that was never actually said. Woody Allen can be blamed for alot of things, but gets a pass from me on this.
Oliver Hardy never said 'This is another fine mess you've gotten me into". A nice mess, another mess, and other variations, but not 'another fine mess'
I'm pretty sure I've posted this movie tune before because I really like movie. It just came on TCM again a few days ago and I watched most of it again. The male singer's voice is pretty distinctive so it'll probably be easy. Click HERE!
I don't think so. That looks a lot like Angela Lansbury to me. But in case I'm mistaken, here *IS* a picture of the lady in my link and isn't she beautiful? I'm not sure how old she is here but she lived to be nearly 100 years old. What a life she had.
But both Georges have sharp ears for the actor... here he is singing his most famous song. Click HERE! I don't think he sang in any movies other than the ones I've presented here. As I see more of his movies the more I appreciate his talent because for the longest time I thought he was just a dolt. I like that I can learn new things even in my old age.
Need any help on the lady? If I were to guess, I would say the picture of her I posted was taken in about 1913. She was born in 1893 and died in 1993 before she turned 100. She's an American icon that is soon being forgotten.
Having just watched "Gone with the Wind" for the gazillionth time, it struck me that the Union soldier that attacks Scarlett on the staircase of "Tarah" (and gets shot in the face by the demure Mizz Scarlett) was played by the actor Edgar Buchanan.
I'm almost postive of it, but I can find no reference to the fact anywhere. So, am I mistaken, or do the normal trivia repositories need an update?
Yeah, I looked over IMDA pretty closely and couldn't find any reference to him there. I couldnt find a definite reference to that roll in the movie either, though...
The guy DOES look like Uncle Joe doesn't he? But... its a guy named Paul Hurst. And where would you guys be without me to help out on these things, huh? He indeed is on The Internet Movie Database but you have to know his Gone With The Wind character as "yankee deserter". Click HERE!
And here's the scene itself. I uploaded it to YouTube myself. And yes.. I just watched a lot of it again myself. The all time best movie that ever came out of Hollywood.... in my humble opinion, of course.

Oh, here's a rich topic, famous quotes that never were!
Like P.T. Barnum's famous quip "There's a sucker born every minute", a line he claimed to have never said...

Geo,
He might not have ever said it but it was a correct statement none the less, IMO!!

Sounds like Bob-of-the-squinty-eyes. I forget the movie.

I think I recognize the voice,
Is this the "Bob" from the movie about the "inclement weather" road?

Yes that is her so I'm wrong on the female but now I think I know the male and if so he got in trouble with some weed once upon a time.

Somehow her picture looked more familiar this morning and I g*ogled it and and sure enough it was her. Here she is in her later days.

I thought sure that the lady was Mary Pickford till I did a little googling.
Funny how much she resembled her cohort and later rival...

I think someone had a vendetta in regards to the male singer because smoking weed just ain't a horrible deal and they sure stuck him for it.

Hey, I've got a real trivia question now.
Having just watched "Gone with the Wind" for the gazillionth time, it struck me that the Union soldier that attacks Scarlett on the staircase of "Tarah" (and gets shot in the face by the demure Mizz Scarlett) was played by the actor Edgar Buchanan.
I'm almost postive of it, but I can find no reference to the fact anywhere. So, am I mistaken, or do the normal trivia repositories need an update?
