Clark Gable (Rhett Butler): Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

Lucille Ball (Scarlett O'Hara Butler): Waaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Lucy did have dramatic chops, never would I have thought her a contender for Scarlett.

Kingrat, it didn't state the location on the image I used but I suspect that you are correct.

I shall always maintain that The Informer is one of John Ford's most brutal, and most important, films.

I saw the Informer for the first time last year, it's a very powerful film and made me look at Victor McLaglen with more respect. A great performance and a great John Ford movie.
