Great line by Anne Meara about the Marines...


...when Harry Guardino is told he owes her some boom-boom and he keeps talking about the Marines. I have told a number of fellow Marine vets about that exchange where Meara dismisses the Marines as being a bunch of gays because Harry won't put out for her. Great bedroom scene.

This was before Political Correctness infected the nation. She calls them fags in the movie, not gays. And don't forget, Wilhelm Reicher is a fag too! (Wilma to Brenda).

It's all about context and intent and audience. As someone said about PC, it's about who's ox is getting gored. The Right burdens us with God, and the Left with the downtrodden, many of which have cell phones and cable.
