A Brain Teaser for us "Old" Farts

[JR]

Okay, where does "Play it again, Sam" come from?

Well, that's pretty easy, but not the correct quote. It's from Casablanca. Going from memory, I think it goes like this.

Rick: Play it, Sam. Play for me, like you played it for her. Play like you played in Paris. If she can take, I can take. Play it!

Or something like that...

Here's the actual exchange

Humphrey Bogart (Rick): You know what I want to hear.
Dooley Wilson (Sam):: No, I don't.
Humphrey Bogart (Rick): You played it for her, you can play it for me!
Dooley Wilson (Sam): Well, I don't think I can remember
Humphrey Bogart (Rick): If she can stand it, I can! Play it!

Yep, always misquoted.

[Pappy]

You guys are too old for me to hang out with. think I'll go get a Lash Larue tape and watch it!

[Ken Weaver]

Yep, always misquoted.

Paul has it right - the quote "Play it again Sam" was never in the movie Casablanca, but rather part of the misquoted lore of Boogey.

And if that's not enough - who could resist falling in love with Lauren Bacall in "Key Largo"?

"You know how to whistle don't you, Steve? Just put your lips together and blow."

My knees get weak just thinking about it.... She was one sexy 19-year-old.

On the other hand, take gander at Ingrid Bergman is Casablanca. She's impossibly pretty.

Two fine representatives of the fairer sex.

Old Geezer in spirit

Thanks for the Butch wax reference (I had to chuckle) I was finally able to find the test that I took that made me older then my mother. The scoring is different from the one I took, as I only missed one and it said I was older then her by 20+ years (guess growing up around Grandma and mom's old Howdy Doody 45's and Hop A Long stuff, aged me).

Bad thing is, I was being hit on by a gal (19) the other day. I've known her since she was 3, and all I could think of, is this could be my daughter. (I'm 36)

"You know how to whistle don't you, Steve? Just put your lips together and blow."

"To have and Have Not" - 1944 - her first film and the year I was born. I've been an admirer for years and she still has class, if not her youth. I hope I age that well.

Here's one for old TV fans (or just fans of old TV )

That would be Alice, wife of Ralph Kramden. The show was "The Honeymooners".

Yep. But what does the location have to do with it? That's the real question.

[Stormbringer]

Your telling me there might be those out there who never heard "To the moon Alice! One of these days, Pow! right in the kisser!"

I tell my wife that all the time...and her name is not even Alice

Paul had it right - Howdy Doody

Listen to that link for a few minutes the rush will come back. We had a 9" Motorola. Talk of the neighborhood, in 1950.

If you think Star Trek was the cat's meow - remember Tom Corbett and his Space Cadets?

I stand corrected. (Hangs head in shame.)

How about Grace Kelly in "Rear Window?" Wow. Luminous beauty.

How about Grace Kelly in "Rear Window?"

Or Barbara Bel Geddes in "Vertigo." The epitome of girl-next-door wholesome good looks.
