"After Bangs, Bings"

I always thought this was a funny line. It's from a Walter Matthau movie. He's sitting in a restaurant late at night and points out to the person he's with that all the couples in the restaurant were there after having sex. He says it would be a good marketing strategy.

I thought it was from 'The Fortune Cookie' but I recently recorded that from TCM and it was not in that movie. I believe the movie is from the '60s or '70s. Does any forum member know the movie?

Thanks. This is my first post.

Don't know how many of his movies you have seen but try going through them by the decades you refer to, see if any sound familiar and look at the quotes section for eachand see if it listed there.

I went to Matthau's name on Wikipedia. I think it may be 'Guide for the Married Man' or 'Secret Life of an American Wife.' Neither of these are immediately available on NetFlix, but I did save "Guide" to the queue for future release. IMDb didn't have this quote under either of these two mivies. Thanks for your reply.

Maybe A Guide For the Married Man.

Thanks for the tip. I 'saved' this on NetFlix DVD. Saved on NetFlix means the DVD is not yet available.

I caught this on cable years ago and was hoping it'd be available to purchase or rent on Amazon or iTunes but no luck unfortunately. It's definitely a product of its era but very funny.

It is available on Amazon to buy. Not cheap though.

Yeah the DVD is ridiculous, must've only been released for a short time. Should've clarified I meant I had wanted to buy a digital copy on Amazon but it's unavailable.

You can request it on Netflix. Look under the 'help centre' section.

Thanks, Keybored, I will.

This line is from the 1972 film 'Pete 'n' Tillie'. Walter Matthau's character loves making puns, hence the line. Another one he makes in the film: he points out a Greek man and speculates that he's obviously wearing elevated shoes, and looks a bit suspicious, then says it just goes to prove the old saying, 'beware of Greeks wearing lifts'.

The movie you're referring to is "Pete 'n' Tillie (1972)."
