Passion in the Desert.

An obscure movie, but my buddy and I quote this line to each other all the time.

Ok, this one is a challenge. I’m going to post it because I learned about this from the Straight Dope. A popular movie with a bunch of great quotes, but I bet you missed this one.

‘What’s a felcher?’

The first one is Marisa Tomei on the stand in _ **My Cousin Vinny** _.

The second is the safecracker in _ **Disorganized Crime** _, played by Fred “Herman Munster” Gwynne … who was also the Judge in _ **My Cousin Vinny** _.

“Ein und zwanzig Kriegsmariner.”

Brian Keith as the Irish CO of a POW camp in _ **The MacKenzie Break** _. (“Twenty-one [Nazi] sailors.”)

“I’m a liberal Democrat lawyer from Wisconsin.”

The presenter/narrator of _ **Mission to Moscow** _ (1943), the most blatant piece of pro-Soviet US wartime propaganda ever. Four good reasons not to believe a word he says.
