In Reply to: Famous Lines from Famous Movies posted by Daryl on September 5, 1999 at 23:46:57:
here I go again: went to see the 50th anaversary release with the wife at the Ritz downtown. Was bitterly disappointed to be shunted into a screening room a bit smaller than what you might expect on an intercontinental 747. There can't have been more than 50 seats. But we'd gone this far. Turns out, everyone there knew every line. Within a few minuites we were reciting along with the actors. It was one of those rare cathartic events that makes going to the movies with a sophisticated crowd so much better than anything else...even theater. That film has more famous lines than anything ever made, or anything that will be made, (unless more people get to see Monty Python and the Holy Grail).But our favorite: when "Louie" is forced by the Germans to close down Rick's casino: "I'm shocked! to find gambling going on here." and then one of his men comes up behind him and hands him a big wad of cash..."Your winnings, Sir."
You've got to love the lines and the delivery of Sidney Greenstreet in "the Dinkus" (the Falcon). The great thing about the movies made during that era is the excellent timing of the dialogue. I much prefer a clever script to the current rage for action and effects.
