While I’m Talking About Movies…

..but this time good ones: We had a double bill of Double Indemnity and Body Heat last night.

Best piece of dialogue1 from the night:

Phyllis: I was just fixing some ice tea; would you like a glass?
Walter Neff: Yeah, unless you got a bottle of beer that’s not working.

Now, do you think that’s Chandler, or Wilder?

  1. Best delivery of a line, though, is a tie between Robinson’s line about “Margie” drinking straight from the bottle, and Turner’s “You don’t look lazy.”(back)
