Sir Lawrence Olivier as Marcus Licinius Crassus to Tony Curtis as Antoninus in one of the excised then later restored scenes in **Spartacus** (1960) Actually, they lost the audio from that scene, and Olivier had died, so t’s really Anthony Hopkins doing a pitch-perfect imitation of Olivier. But Curtis reprised himself. ---

Hmmm is this one where the original line is slightly different and then it gets misquoted in a later film? A bit like ‘Play it again, Sam’? ---

You got it. Popeye never says the quoted line exactly in the original film. Here’s the sequence.
