Glenn Ford's Funny Lines


I think that Glenn Ford has some of the best understated funny lines. Love the script. For example when Eddie asks what a "masher" is and Tom says that it's someone who bothers women. Eddie says, "That's all?" And Tom replies, "Isn't it enough?"

Also love when they are talking about measurements and Eddie asks what would happen if a woman was 20" on top. Tom says something like, "Nothing. Poor girl."

Glenn Ford says them so well, no ba da bing. Just very natural.

Favorite exchange is Eddie and the skinny eyes bit.

Watching the movie reinforced again to me what a fine all round actor he was. Thrillers, dramas, westerns(perhaps the genre for which he is best known) and this rom - com (not scared of working with kids); he was equally adept at all. 🐭

I actually liked one of Elizabeth's lines complaining about having to listen to "bone " jokes all night long.🐭
