I don't recall the quote exactly, but the hint gave it away - an adaptation of Dreiser's classic novel, An American Tragedy.

I have seen the film, after reading the novel in one of many American Lit courses comprising two of my three useless liberal arts degrees. :mrgreen:

The novel, by the way, is still incredibly relevant - as is much of Dreiser's work.

Over to you.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Pretty sure that is from "A Streetcar Named Desire".

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Okay, since nobody else is giving the answer, (though I'm pretty sure Ray and Scooter know it 8-) ) I'll take it:

One of the greatest and most moving performances in cinematic music history...

How Clint didn't win a Grammy for that is a mystery...

I didn't know it. I just thought that The Beguiled, given its setting, was a funny answer for the quote. I didn't click in to the Clint Eastwood connection between the two, as Ray appears to have done.

The Beguiled btw, for anyone who hasn't seen it, is a fantastic flick...

I believe it also has the distinction of being the only Clint movie where his character dies...(well, unless you count "died and came back to life"...High Plains Drifter...)

New movie clue shortly....

Wrong, grasshopper. Gran Torino - he died in that.

OK this movie - I bet you stuck with Eastwood. So he's killed someone and someone else wants him to bury the body? Sounds like True Grit but that was Wayne.

So, one of the Dirty Harry flicks? Unlikely but I'll guess "Dirty Harry"
