Andy Devine, John Ford and beans


Andy Devine, playing his trademark character in both films, says in Ford's 1939 Stagecoach "What do I get to eat when I get home in Lordsburg? Nothin' but frijole beans. That's all. Nothin' but beans, beans, beans!"

And then in Ford's 1962's Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, when he asks for dinner in the kitchen, he says "...a couple of those steaks, and NO BEANS...double on the potatoes?" with an exaggerated emphasis on the "no beans" part.

Greatest continuity ever!!
