The Silver Screen Oasis

I've met a lot of hard-boiled eggs in my time, but you--you're twenty minutes.

Also from Ace in the Hole.

You don't belong with a grifter like me. You just got some mud on your dress, that's all. Give it time, let it dry. It'll brush off.

Cary Grant - Mr Lucky

"They say money talks. All it ever said to me was goodbye."

Cary Grant - None But the Lonely Heart

Those are great lines from the man whose birthday we observe today. It's a good thing we have the movies. There will never be another Cary Grant.

You said it red!

Stop it, Ma! Keep the windows closed? What was the use? The stink came through them anyhow into all the corners of your lungs... your skin! Even if you took a bath every day, the stink would still stink! Our playground, where we picked up a few pieces of junk to get spending money. A rotten stink! Even now we're not too far away from it! But you wait! I've got ideas. I'll get plenty of money! Yeah, dough! That's the only thing that'll ever cover up the stink of the city dump!

-- Vincent Lubeck (Lawrence Tierney) in THE HOODLUM

What a great quote! Must watch Mr Lucky again.

I love this ChiO ... that's why I'm looking forward seeing it on Turner Classic Movies this week ... thanks for sharing it!

KAY WALSH to DIRK BOGARDE in "CAST A DARK SHADOW"



"I'm not going to run because you want me to. I'm not
going to die because you want me to!"

One of my favorite lines, Susan Sarandon to Catherine Deneuve in The Hunger:

Are you making a pass at me, Mrs. Blaylock?

"I STEAL..."

Yeah, baby. God what an ending.

Whew! Yeah.

I cite this riveting drama when recommending classic film to the uninitiated. It's old fashioned. It's low tech. But it rips your thoughts and emotions wide open. If you don't like this, you don't like classic movies!
