Well if it isn't Ethel Barrymore!

Our wonderful, wordy, Wednesday is Singin' in the Rain theme! There are so many great one liners from this musical. If I wanted I would list every single quote and lyric from this movie, but this post would be the longest read ever. It's still pretty long; but this is the shortest list I could come up with. So many witty comments they used to use in old movies! I love them. Some days I desperately want someone to set me up to say one. For example;

 

 

See?! Cosmo (Cos) Brown, is excellent in this film. His "Make 'Em Laugh" number is one of best in the whole movie. The funny best friend to Don Lockwood; he says some of my favorite witty one liners;

 

R.F. Simpson: Lina, you were gorgeous!

Cosmo Brown: Yeah, Lina, you looked pretty good for a girl.

 

Rod: Lina, you're a beautiful woman. Audiences think you've got a voice to match. The studio's gotta keep their stars from looking ridiculous at any cost.

Cosmo Brown: Nobody's got that much money.

 

Don Lockwood: What's the matter with that girl? Can't she take a gentle hint?

Cosmo Brown: Well haven't ya heard? She's irresistible. She told me so herself.

 

Cosmo: Talking pictures, that means I'm out of a job. At last I can start suffering and write that symphony.

R.F. Simpson: You're not out of job, we're putting you in as head of our new music department.
Cosmo: Oh, thanks, R.F.! At last I can stop suffering and write that symphony.

 

Cosmo: Lina. She can't act, she can't sing, she can't dance. A triple threat.

 

Then there's Lina Lamont. The 'villian' of our little musical. Now given the chance to ever perform in this musical; I would love to be Lina. Namely because of this line;

 

Lina: "People"? I ain't "people." I am a - "a shimmering, glowing star in the cinema firmament." [picks up newspaper] It says so - right here.

 

And this one;

 

 

And the ever popular, reoccurring joke;

 

Then of course there's Don Lockwood;

 

 

Dang, he's smooth.

 

Neato, mosquitos!
