Please help...is this the movie where...


Anne Bancroft's character says a line (like) "Where ya gonna get the water?"...she yells it either from a balcony or through a window to a neighbor.

I saw the movie years ago and only remember that my family and I loved it...and only that one little line stands out in my mind. I've been dying to find it so that I can watch it again!

Thanks!

Yes, it is.

Awesome - thanks!!!

Yeah she says that near the end-I think the last 10 minutes of the film because the water in the apartment was out and she finally had a nervous breakdown and started yelling outside the balcony and the upstairs neighbors were disrupted. Her husband Mel says the same thing in the beginning of the movie. Anne Bancroft was amazing in the film.

Remember you have another hand:the first is to help yourself,the second is to help others.

The line I always remembered from this film was:

"We had it. Now they got it. We wuz robbed!"



I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

And while she is yelling the line (up at a neighbor woman on another balcony) she does this great shimmy! Loved her in this.
