A great line was heard in this movie that should be part of our culture, if my memory serves me right.
26 April 2001
I was 9 or 10 years old I saw To Please a Lady at the Ioka Theater in Exeter, NH, and a big fan of Barbara Stanwyck and Clark Gable. It is an exciting race car movie with of course a romantic angle between the two stars. The biggie was the line Gable uttered that even at the age of 9 or 10 made me wince a bit. I have not seen the film since and a half century later I can still remember it. It went: "Listen, baby, your just another dame to me. I can handle you," or "listen baby, I can handle you. You're just another dame to me." If you're a Stanwyck fan you can imagine her facial expression after the line was delivered. The film has been on TV.
