After two (?) years of Tuesday Trivia, I finally screwed it up. Here it is, late evening, and nothing posted. Evn must be tearing his hair out. Busy, busy day at work, with lots of eyes over my shoulders, then an evening out with coworkers and The Boss’s Boss.
Okay, so here we are. Let’s continue our theme of the past weeks and do Quotes of the 1960s.
1. I’m walkin’ here!
Solved by Hogan (comment #1).
2. I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.
Solved by Hogan (comment #1).
3. Your father never laid a hand on me until we were married. Then I… I just gave in because a wife has to. A woman doesn’t enjoy those things the way a man does. She just lets her husband come near her in order to have children.
Solved by Ben (comment #2).
4. I already know an awful lot of people and until one of them dies I couldn’t possibly meet anyone else.
Solved by Trevor J (comment #6).
5. Power is not a toy we give to good children. It is a weapon. And the strong man takes it and uses it.
Solved by George (comment #7).
6. I can eat fifty eggs.
Solved by Melville (comment #3).
7. She has the face of a simpering sheep. And the manners. But not the morals. I don’t want her near me.
Hint: Spoken by a queen.
Solved by Hogan (comment #12).
#1 is Midnight Cowboy.
#2 is 2001.
#3 is Splendor in the Grass.
Ah, just thought I’d stop by before going to bed, and trivia’s here. 🙂
#6 is Cool Hand Luke.
Is 4 Breakfast at Tiffany’s?
No, you’re close.
But it would never be Breakfast at Tiffany’s, because I hate that movie.
#4 is Charade
#5 is “The Best Man” written by Gore Vidal.
The sad part is you were late with the film quiz and Generik was late with his rock lyrics quiz. I kept looking at my calendar to make sure it was Tuesday.
I knew that (that it would never be BaT cause you hate it).
And what’s crazy is… I’ve only seen Charade once, and the line didn’t stick, but when I read it, I could totally hear Audrey Hepburn say it, which is why I guessed Tiffany’s.
And I just checked; it’s not her who says it.
Actually, I had a super-busy day at work, then had to fly across town to meet my family for dinner, so… um, I completely forgot about trivia. Hair is intact.
It definitely is her who says it in Charade, Bert.
#7 is Anne of the Thousand Days.
Roberta, you may have been confused by the fact that AH’s character in Charade is called Reggie.
(Has anyone else noticed the pattern of pairing Audrey Hepburn with male romantic leads who were old enough to be her father? Fred Astaire in Funny Face, Gary Cooper in Love in the Afternoon, Bogart in Serena, Cary Grant in Charade, Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady. What was up with that? Did they do that with any other actress?)
Hogan, right. I think it was common at the time, but in some of the cases you mention, especially Cary Grant, the actor strongly objected. A lot of the stuff in Charade about him rebuffing her advances was written in because he objected to the age difference.
