Co-stars include Scatman Crothers, Clifton James, and Ray Walston.
And Patrick McGoohan... 8-)

I'm embarrassed that I didn't get it earlier...(especially since I spent a lovely evening in the back seat of my '67 Bonneville with a young lady after going to see it with her when it first came out...Yeah, I know...too much information... :P )

Image is not showing on my end, LJ, but I think you've got it.  Post the name; I'll confirm and you can take it from there.

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

That's it.
For the rest — the lines are between Hildegard 'Hilly' Burns (played by Jill Clayburgh) and George Caldwell (played by Gene Wilder) during their encounter in the dining car on the train.  When he then asks "How do you keep your job?", she replies "I give great phone."

They later adjourn to Hilly's compartment — which is adjacent to George's compartment and features a fold-back wall to allow the two to become one single larger compartment (how convenient) — for a nightcap and some conversation, and the plot develops from there.

Take it away, LJ!

"I give great phone."
If you had given that as the quote BB, I would have recognized it immediately... 8-)

BB, did you try right clicking over the word "Image" and entering the URL with "Img?"

IMDB doesn't allow its images to be hotlinked to other sites, it uses a referrer filter. That's why it doesn't show up. In either LJs ot RTs posts. There's actually an error message being generated that you don't see:


Referral Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BN ... SY720_.jpg" on this server.


Now, if you copy and paste the referenced URL you can get to the image. But that defeats the point of having it show up in the post.

Datsun, I see the image just fine, (I didn't take it directly from the IMDB site; I did a Google image search)...BB must be having a different problem...

First I see only the word "Image" in both posts

Right click view image gave me the same message Datsun got

Then I right clicked image properties (or whatever it's called these days) and that did nothing

Then I closed the image options and voila! Both sets of the same image have magically appeared, weird.

That;s because you accessed it via Google which is an allowed linksource on IMDB. Now it's cached on your computer. I only saw the word "Image" in its place until I went to IMDB and loaded the image directly- and now the image shows up in your post.


The following is an image:

Image

If my theory is correct, the image won't be visible to anyone unless you first go to this page:

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2243009792/ ... _=tt_ov_i#

Then, if you go back to this post, the image will (might be) be visible.

Okay, I thought I'd wait till Big RR took a shot, but he doesn't seem to be around, so here are some clues:

Patty Hearst plays a small role in the movie, and the two leads are very well known....

The lead actress is well known for movies, and the lead actor is well known for a long running television role...

Das Filthy Krap, more like it. I googled - glad I can deny ever having watched such banal brain-dead juvenile rubbish.

Yes indeedy:

It was John Waters second mainstream commercial success, (after Hairspray) and it's my favorite Waters movie...(our discussion in another thread where his name came up made me think of this one.)

Turner's performance as a psycho-Donna Reed was absolutely hilarious; a comedic tour de force...

And Sam Waterson as her completely clueless husband was also excellent...



no matter what Meade says...
