The Bachelor

Cary and Myrna Loy teach Bobby Soxer,
Shirley Temple a thing or two about love.

wonderful in it.

The Hoodoo Routine: You remind me of a man...

David: Gee whiz, Alice, well everyone has to have a
honeymoon and, and, and..
Ms. Swallow: We haven't time.
David: Oh.
Irrelevan.AIFF
Susan: Oh David, don't be irrelevant. The point is I've got
a Leopahd, the question is, what am I going to do with
it?
Bone.AIFF
Susan: You're what?
David: My Bone! It's rare, it's precious! What did you do
with it?
Gay.AIFF
Aunt Elizabeth: You look perfectly ridiculous in those
clothes.
David: These aren't my clothes. I've lost my clothes.
Aunt Elizabeth: Well, why are you wearing these clothes.
David: Because I just went GAY all of a sudden!
bandy.AIFF
Pschiatrist: Miss, I am not going to bandy words with you at
this time at night.
Susan: There is a leopahd on your roof and it's my leopahd
and to get it I have to sing.
jerrynipper.AIFF
Susan: You mean to say you've never heard of Jerry the
Nipper?
Police: No, no I can't say that I have.
David: Constable, she's making this up out of motion
pictures she's seen.
His
Girl Friday Oughta
Marry.AIFF
CG and and Rossalind Russell in some of
the fastest dialogue in movie history.
Hildy: He's kind, he's sweet and he's considerate. He wants
a home and children.
Walter: sounds like a guy I oughta marry. What's his
name?
Tight.AIFF
Hildy: I suppose I proposed to
you?
Walter: Well you practically did, making goo goo eyes at me
for two years until I broke down. "Oh, Walter" And I still
claim I was tight the night I proposed to you, if you'd been
a gentleman you'd have forgotten all about it, but not
you.
Hildy: Why you!!!
Loathsome.AIFF
Hildy: Oh Walter you're wonderful in a loathsome sort of
way.
excuuuuse
me.AIFF
Cary perfects the line Steve Martin made famous.
Peter
B. Hartwell.AIFF
Hildy: Of course he had to
have a gun to reinact the crime and who do you suppose
supplied it? Peter B. Hartwell. B for Brains.
Walter: No kidding?
Hildy: I tell you I'm not kidding. I'm not good enough to
make this one up. Now the sherif gave his gun to the
professor and the professor gave it to Earl and Earl shot
the professor right in the classified ads. No, ADS.
Classified
Ads.AIFF
Same as above only shorter.
Holiday Fathead.AIFF116K
Donald Ogden Stewart wrote the script,
shortly before he was sent to work writing the screenplay for "The
Philadelphia Story." Holiday doesn't have as many zippy, one-liners
(and therefore is not as quotable) as "Philadelphia Story," but the
characters are more three-dimensional. Notice anything familiar about
Eward Everett Horton's voice? He was a regular on the Bullwinkle
cartoon show.

told father all your little hopes and dreams.

to take the trip herself. She needed a change, she'd had
tought time with the children, the teething...
Judge: Oh just the facts, nevermind the teething.
Amiadope.AIFF
Nick: The moment I saw you downstairs I knew...
Ellen: Oh go on. I bet you say that to all your wives.

Ellen: Hey, now there's a way out.

mistake marriage is off." Can I? What am I a dope?

Nick: Oh, well he didn't hack himself to pieces the way I

How
to Kiss a Woman
Do you always kiss women before you speak to them?
CG: If possible
North By Northwest Luck.AIFF
CG plays unwitting spy, Roger Thornhill, James Mason (click
here
for a little more James Mason from Lolita.) plays the baddy, Van Dam,
and Eve Marie Saint is somewhere in between as Eve Kendall,
"industrial designer."
Roger : Think how lucky I was to be seated here.
Eve: Luck had nothing to do with it.
Roger: Fate?
Eve: I tipped the steward five dollars to seat you here,
should you come in.
Makelove.AIFF
Roger: The moment I see a attractive woman, I have to start
pretending I have no desire to make love to her.
Abduction.AIFF
Roger: Not that I mind a slight case of abduction now and
then, but I have tickets to the theater this evening, to a
show I was looking forward to, and I get well, kind of
unreasonable about things like that.
Van Dam: With such expert play acting you make this very
room a theater.
Assault.AIFF
Roger: Assault and kidnapping. Assault with a gun and
burboun and a sportscar. Will get em.
Chaser.AIFF
Roger: No. No, Mother I have not been drinking. No, these
two men poured a whole bottle of boubon into me. No they
didn't give me a chaser.
Rapidcty.AIFF
Van Dam: In two days your due at the Ambassador East in
Chicago.

City, South Dakota.

SgtEmil.AIFF
Roger: She wants to know who said.
Sgt. Emil Klinger: Sgt. Emil Klinger.
Roger: Sgt. Emil...Emil? Sgt. Emil Klinger. No, I don't
beleive it either.
Redherring.AIFF
Roger: I'm an advertising man, not a red herring! I've got a
job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bar
tenders dependent upon me. And I don't intend to disappoint
them all by getting myself slightly killed.
nbynw.AIFF
Van Dam: Has anyone ever told you overplay your various
roles rather severly, Mr. Kaplan. First your the outraged
Madison Avenue man who claims he's been mistaken for someone
else. Then you play the fugitive from justice on the run for
a crime he knows he didn't commit. Now you play the
peevish lover, stung by jealousy and betrayal. You
fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and
more from the actors studio.
Roger: Apparently the only performance that will satisfy you
is when I play dead.
Van Dam: Your very next role. You'll be very convincing, I
assure you.
Peevish.AIFF
Van Dam: Now you play the peevish lover, stung by
jealousy and betrayal.

Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart, with Ruth Hussey as the sassy Liz Imbrie.

Dexter: That's right, how did you know?

She Done Him Wrong Seeme.AIFF187K
Home of one the of the most misquoted lines in movie history.
It's not "Why, don't you come up and see me sometime?" It's "Why
don't you come up sometime...see me?" Listen for Mae's
barely-muttered grunts and half-mumbled lines. Cary adopted this
under-the-breath way of communicating later, while devloping his
persona for The Awful Truth. It remained a charming part of
his acting style from then on.
Mae: Ya know I always did like a man in uniform, and that
one fits you grand. Why don't you come up sometime...see me?
I'm home every evenin'
Cary: Yes, but I'm busy every evening.
Mae: Busy? What are you tryin' to do? Insult me?
Canbehad.AIFF147K
Mae: You know I've met your kind before. Why don't you come
up sometime, huh?

Smoking.AIFF132K

match)
Mae: Yes, well I suppose smoking is going to make a man look
effeminate, before long.
Unbend.AIFF36K
Mae: Loosen up. Unbend. You'll feel better.
Suspicion Hairdresser.AIFF
Hitchcock classic with CG and Joan Fontaine. (1941)
Back
to top of Sounds
Fontaine: What's wrong with my hair?
CG: Well, I'm glad you asked me that. It would have been
extremely discourteous for me to bring the subject up.
Fontaine: Are you serious?
CG: Of course I'm serious.
Fontaine: I may seem provincial, but frankly, I don't
understand men like you. It always seems as if you're
laughing at me.
CG: No, I give you my word, your hair's all wrong. But it
has such wonderful possiblities that I...Well, I got
excited. For the moment I became a... a passionate
hairdresser.

Or rather, The Talk of the Borscht. Forgive, me I'm a
self-indulgent webmaster, I know, but I couldn't resist sampling ALL

Cary Grant and Ronald Coleman profess their undying love for the
passionate purple Polish Elixir.

Cary
Sings
While Cary wasn't known for his singing, it didn't stop him from
recording. Here's a smattering of songs for your enjoyment. It ain't
exactly Caruso, but it's not "Golden Throats" bad, either.
CGlullaby.mp3 CGYTT.mp3 CGDIR.mp3 CGIWY.mp3 CGBBB.mp3
You heard Christmas Lullaby first on the Shrine years
ago. But the file was so ridiculously big I took it down and
promptly (and accidently) deleted it. Thanks to loyal,
warbride Cheryl, I have this and other Cary songs on my
again on my site.
Cary and Ginny Simms from sing Cole Porter's "You're the
Top" from the film "Night and Day" A great song
featuring some brave rhymes such as "Night in
Spain/Cellophane, and "Mahama Ghandi/Napoleon
Brandy."
Cary sings "Did I Remember."
Cary and Mae West sing "I Want You , I Need You"
from the film "I'm No Angel." The best part of this
recording is the film dialogue and the banter between CG and
Mae.
Sophia Loren sings "Bing, Bang, Bong" from the film
"Houseboat" which co-stars Cary.
