Movies made before 1960 with Dirty Jokes

I need to know if anyone knows of any movies made in 1960 or before that has atleast one of these things bad words such as but not limited to Ass, Shit, Fuck, sexual innuendo, a “homosexual” character.
If you tell me the movies I will do the research thanks please be quick…thanks. :wink:

Heck, we could fill a thread (and several phone booths) with Mae West alone:

“It’s not the men in your life, it’s the life in your men.”

Coatcheck girl, noticing West’s bracelet : “Goodness, what big diamonds.”
West: “Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie.”

But then the Hays code fucked it all up. Bastard.

I’ll see your Mae West and raise you a WC Fields

(Invited to play golf by someone he didn’t like, Fields responded:) “When I want to play with a prick, I’ll play with my own.”

In the W.C. Fields movie The Bank Dick (1940) (dick here ostensibly meaning detective), he visits a lounge called The Black Pussy.

I can give you a lot more, but have to rush off to work. Will write later.

In the 1936 movie Swing Time, there’s a scene where a character shouts obscenities at a police officer, but a car horn honks so the audience can’t hear it. But you can read his lips and tell that he’s saying “Motherfucking son of a bitch!”

My favorite (in 42nd Street):
Man: Want to sit on my lap?
Chorus Girl: I ain’t no flagpole sitter.

There’s also the more famous “Not Anytime Annie? Say, who could forget 'er? She only said “No” once, and THEN she didn’t hear the question!”

From Footlight Parade:

Nan Prescott: [to Vivian] As long as there are sidewalks, you’ve got a job.

Chester Kent: Hello, Vivian. This is Miss Rich. My secretary, Miss Prescott.
Nan Prescott: I know Miss Bi… Rich, if you remember.

On the other hand, in Bringing Up Baby:

Aunt Elizabeth (to Cary Grant, who is wearing a woman’s robe): Why are you wearing those clothes?
Grant: Because I suddenly went gay all of a sudden.

Later, Grant says, “I’m just waiting for a bus on 42nd Street.” (This was at the time a well-known line; gays hung out on 42nd Street in NYC and, when questioned, would say they were waiting for a bus."

And in one of the Fred Astaire movies:

Edward Everett Horton (dancing): “I’m doing well with the ladies.”
Astaire: YOU??? (Horton was gay.)

Lots of Cole Porter lyrics had sexual innuendo. Listen to “Always True to You Darling (in My Fashion)” and “Where was the lift of late I led?” from Kiss Me Kate. And of course, there’s always “Let’s Do It.”

Mae West and Cary Grant in I’m no Angel (1933)

Jack Clayton: Oh I’m crazy about you.
Tira: I did my best to make you that way.
Jack Clayton: Look darling, you need a rest, and so do I. Let me take you away somewhere, we’ll…
Tira: Would you call that a rest?
Jack Clayton: What are you thinking about?
Tira: Same thing you are.

Any movie with Groucho Marx.

*Suddenly Last Summer * 1959 makes it under the wire. It is about as in your face as you can get.

---------QUOTE---------------------------------
*It is perhaps appropriate that the first depiction of a blatantly homosexual character in a sound film was in the first all-sound movie musical, MGM’s The Broadway Melody (1929). Granted, this nameless character (portrayed by character actor Drew Demarest) is a mean spirited fag caricature, but he’s there.

The mother of all backstage musicals, Broadway Melody depicted the drama surrounding the production of a Broadway revue. The effeminate male costume designer fusses, prances and goes into girlish raptures over accessories. When this designer complains that he didn’t design the dressing room doorways that endanger his voluminous chorus hats, a rather butch costume mistress responds, “Yeah, if you had designed them, they would have been lavender!” In a later scene, the designer begs the play’s producer (“Mr. Zanfield”) to cover the cost of an expensive fur for the leading lady, inspiring one of the producer’s flunkies to mockingly rhapsodize over the “gorgeousnessssssss” of the fur before pinching the designer’s cheek.*

Winnie Lightner: “You borrowed my last pair of panties—what am I gonna do tomorrow?”

Loretta Young: “Stay offa ladders, for one thing.”

One of the inmates in the prison scenes in Chaplin’s Modern Times is a clearly gay stereotype. He’s not often noticed, since you have to stop watching Chaplin to see him.

Going far back, in the Chaplin short “Behind the Screen,” Edna Purviance is disguised as a boy. Chaplin discovers it and kisses her, only to be spotted by Eric Campbell. Campbell goes into a wild, “limp-wristed fag” dance. If you know what Campbell looked like, you can imagine just how hilarious that is.

Al Dubin wrote a lot of risque lyrics (to Harry Warren songs) for Warner Brothers musicals:

“To Niagara in a sleeper/there’s no honeymoon that’s cheaper” – Shuffle Off to Buffalo

“We’re the house detectives/but we’re puzzled with/the fact that no one stops here/unless their name is Smith” – Honeymoon Hotel

And, of course, the greatest closing line in film history, from Dinner at Eight:

Kitty: I was reading a book the other day.
Carlotta (after a tremendous double-take): Reading a book??
Kitty: Yes. It’s all about civilization or something. A nutty kind of a book. Do you know that the guy says that machinery is going to take the place of every profession?
Carlotta: Oh, my dear. That’s something you need never worry about.

Some Like It Hot - 1959

Jack Lemmon, to the millionare he’s attracted while pretending to be a woman:
You don’t understand, Osgood! I’m a man!
Osgood: Well, nobody’s perfect.

It’s really in the delivery. :wink:

Really, the whole movie is one big quivering heap of innuendo. I reccomend it, it’s still very fresh and funny. Also, Marilyn wears a dress that in black and white looks extremely, er, not there.

To Have and to Have Not - 1944

“You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.”

Also all in the delivery.

Groucho Quotes

From A Night at the Opera:

Mrs. Claypool: Are you sure you have everything, Otis?
Otis B. Driftwood: Well, I haven’t had any complaints yet.

and

Mrs. Claypool: Get off that bed. What would people say?
Otis B. Driftwood: They’d probably say you’re a very lucky woman.

From Duck Soup:

Rufus T. Firefly: We’re fighting for this woman’s honor, which is more than she ever did.

and

Mrs. Teasdale: Notables from every country are gathered here in your honor. This is a gala day for you.
Rufus T. Firefly: Well, a gal a day is enough for me. I don’t think I could handle any more.

From Horse Feathers

[in canoe] Professor Wagstaff: I was gonna get a flat bottom but the girl at the boat house didn’t have one.

From Monkey Business:

Groucho: How about you and I passing out on the veranda; or would you rather pass out here?
Woman at Party: Sir, you have the advantage of me.
Groucho: Not yet I haven’t, but wait till I get you outside.

and

Groucho: [emerging from a haystack] Where’s all those farmer’s daughters I’ve been hearing about for years?

From Animal Crackers:

Capt. Spaulding: Signor Ravelli’s first selection will be “Somewhere My Love Lies Sleeping” with a male chorus.

Before the code hit (about mid 1934), Hollywood got away with all kinds of great stuff.

In “Wonderbar” Al Jolsen is leading a band in his swanky Parisian cafe. A man and a woman are moving around a crowded dance floor. Another man taps the woman’s partner on the shoulder. “May I cut in?” he inquires. The woman acquieses and the two men dance away happilly together. Jolsen sees this. Laughs and says, “Well, boys will be boys!”

This movie is by turns dazzlingly imaginiative, terrifically funny and unbelievably tasteless. My kind of pic all around. If you want to see something that would never be filmed today and is the mother of all politically-incorrect-I’m-so-ashamed-of-my-grandparents film making you have just got to see Jolsen go through his black-faced paces in Busby Berkley’s presentation of “Gwine to Hebbin on a Mule.” Yow.

Then in “Kiss Me Kate” there’s the Cole Porter song with the lyrics “Every Tom Dick and Harry, every Harry Dick and Tom.”

How they got that one past the censors, I’ll never know.

Hey, I was looking for the lyrics to that song just the other day, and came up with that same page. I was amused to learn that the version published in England replaced “panties” with “clothesies.” That may be why I don’t remember the “panties” line from the songbook at my grandmother’s house–she was from Ireland and may have had a British edition of the sheet music.

And I thought I’d figured out something they missed when I first heard that line!

Myrna Loy exclaims in one of the Thin Man movies (when someone rifles through her bureau): “What’s that man doing in my drawers!”

Love Happy has a scene where Marilyn Monroe, as a detective’s client, is talking to Groucho Marx, the detective. Walking away from him, she says “There’s a strange man following me.” Groucho, eyes locked on her incredible ass, says “I can’t imagine why.”

On a Johnny Carson show, one of his guests was talking about some of the exotic foods she had eaten in China. The only ones I remember were “deer nose” and “camel hump.” She then asked Carson, “Have you ever had the hump of a camel.”

Carson pauses, then says, “No. . . but when I was younger I was pretty good.”

And when Dectective Gil finds a pistol in Myrna Loy’s drawer, he holds it out and says angrily:

Gil “Hey, didn’t you ever hear of the Sullivan act.”

Mrs. Charles “Oh, it’s alright… we’re married.”
