I recall the movie Wages of Fear (1953) using it. Although I've heard that there was a movie in the 30s that used it but it was hard to make out. I don't remember the name of it though.

It really is a great word when used at the right time and in the right place. Unfortunately, it has been so overused everywhere and has lost it's value and people who use it in public just sound trashy and uneducated. I especially hate movies that rely on F Bombs for laughs.

Lumet's excellent The Hill (1965) has Connery quickly use it near the end. [Lumet had previously pushed nudity boundaries in The Pawnbroker (1964).]

GWTW missed a golden opportunity. “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a fuck” would have been a powerful ending
