Norma also claimed to be ready for her closeup. Between that and "fasten your seatbelts" arguably the two most immortal lines ever spoken on celluloid.

But just to be clear (you left it ambiguous), "Fasten your seatbelts ..." was spoken by Bette Davis in "All About Eve". Also made into a musical (Applause), although I can't recommend it.

And that line is now on Broadway. There's a play about the making of "Jaws." 

 

The AFI did a list of 100 best movie lines.

I really am shocked. Claude Rains doesn’t appear, unless I missed him.

@3rdGenCunarder Thank YOU! I’m waiting for DH to finish the sports section of the paper then we’ll start through this wonderful list.

Thank you. At least he is there,  it it is the wrong quote, if you see what I mean.

[Host Hattie]

Yes but probably the better known.

[techteach]

Darn that DH finished the sports section and has disappeared before I could start the name that quote game…and you are already having fun with it! Isn’t it fun to know that we’re thousands of miles apart and still enjoying the same thing?

I think they mean a dinner suit..........as my hero Norma Desmond declared  "tuxedos are for waiters"

Or as Maggie Smith said to Lord Crawley(her son) in Downtown Abbey when he appeared at dinner in a Tuxedo instead of Evening Dress((tails / white tie)... "I thought you were a waiter".

All about Eve.,one of my favourite screenplays of all time including one of  possibly  the best ad-libbed  lines ever in cinema..... and please don't compare it to the trash they produce today....and don't even start me on "Barbie"

Since you walk your own way around the Prom Deck, you can set the standard on diamond wearing times…🙃

[roscoe39]

And certainly walking deck three clockwise is certainly one of those times… thank-you  for noticing!

[techteach]

There is always a way to wear diamonds, no matter the time or place.

Maybe not a tiara, although.....if you were walking clockwise you might get away with it...

Well, here’s one: “It’s a little clash of temperament that’s going on in there—inevitably. One of them is half-mad, and the other, wholly unscrupulous.”

but it hasn't got "Oh, Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars." from Now, Voyager (Bette Davis & Paul Heindred), partly set on a cruise ship. I think that film sparked my fascination with cruising. 

 

 

Ooops, of course it's there! Phew.
