Did I get it right?

I'm quite sure I heard Carole spoke something like "your *beep* newspaper" in that "box fight" with March. Am I right? Did anyone notice this?

haha I noticed that. It looked as if she was about to say it but then stopped herself from saying it though.

I've seen out-takes from "My Man Godfrey" in which she didn't stop herself. She had a very colorful vocabulary according to most reports.

I wish some lipreader would tell us what Carole's lips are saying after Fredric March socks her. It looks like the first words starts with an F. This movie is pure joy!

Carole Lombard wasn't nicknamed "The Profane Angel" for nothing. By all accounts, she swore like a mule-skinner in real life. Barely 5 feet tall, and drop-dead gorgeous, she was the life of the party wherever she went. No wonder Gable went into extensive depression when she died in the plane crash, which he blamed himself for her being on.

Yes, I have heard that she had the second fifthiest mouth in Hollywood, next to Sally Eilers. It's strange, isn't it? Carole Lombard had such a wonderful childish innocence in most of her movies, including this one, but in real life she was quite the opposite.

Actually I noticed later on, near the end of the movie at 69 minutes, when she bursts out of the hotel room disclosing the entire hoax, she ends her rant with screaming:
"AND WHAT'S MORE, YOU AND NEW YORK CAN GO FFFFFAAAA!", strongly implying the whole sentence would be they can go f themselves lol

Strong temper indeed! I wonder if it was even scripted like that.

Sounds like she says the F word to me at all in that scene. My son looked up the script and supposedly she is saying "You and your crooked newspaper." Um. She does - but I'd rather it be the other. :)
