> [@Joey\_P](#): > > Nice beaver By a weird coincidence, I was just thinking of that line about an hour ago. The final episode of _The Amazing Race_ had a stop at Kenmore Air, a seaplane base near Seattle. I thought “nice beaver”, because, parked behind the Racers was a DeHavilland Beaver.

Thank you. I just had it stuffed. ---

…wasn’t that after the TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT discussion of whistling technique? ---

Yes. _To Have and To Have Not_ was her first film. The “You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve?” scene is memorable but not quite as racy as _The Big Sleep_ scene. But there _is_ that little shimmy she does as they get ready to walk out of the bar in the final scene. Yum. ---

When I was a tot the afternoon cartoon show had mostly WB with an occasional Fleischer Bros. thrown in.\* One of the ones was Clampett’s “Becall to Arms” ([edited extract here](https://youtu.be/OWoIyQoEttE)) and I didn’t really get it then. Later on I did. \*It was a real treat when they’d show the Popeye two-reelers, “Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor” and “Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba’s forty Thieves.” ---

I’m partial to Marilyn Monroe’s line in _ **Some Like It Hot** _: “I always seem to get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.” ---

> [@terentii](#): > > My daughter and I were watching _ **Trading Places** _ on TV when I realized they had cut the setup to the Men’s Room scene, where Eddie Murphy overhears the Duke brothers talking about why they’d hired him. A long time ago KTLA (Los Angeles Ch.5, if memory serves) showed **Bullitt**. Some brainiac in the studio decided to cut _the entire chase scene._ I think there was a small uproar of viewer complaints. ---

Yeah, but that chase is so boilerplate – if you want a good chase (in San Francisco, no less), the one in _What’s Up Doc?_ is much more entertaining. ---

Legend has it that when _The Sound of Music_ was released in Korea, one theater thought it ran too long so the manager cut out all the songs. > [@eschereal](#): > > Yeah, but that chase is so boilerplate – if you want a good chase (in San Francisco, no less), the one in _What’s Up Doc?_ is much more entertaining. That’s rather like saying Shakespeare is no good because it’s all cliches. In 1968 it was the granddaddy of them all, predating _The French Connection_ – rated #1 [on this site](https://www.insider.com/best-car-chases-in-movie-history-ranked#1-the-french-connection-1971-33), _Bullitt_ being #2. ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > Legend has it that when _The Sound of Music_ was released in Korea, one theater thought it ran too long so the manager cut out all the songs. At some time in the 80s one of the local Chicago affiliates (I want to say ABC) aired movies on Saturday afternoon. I seem to remember that once they ran a Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movie and cut out all the dance numbers so they could fit in more commercials. ---

That face ceminds me of the unforgettable scene that ends with the haltingly-delivered line “_This … is from … Matilda_.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/that-one-scene-in-a-movie/994344.md?page=5)
