but I'm still not to be had for the price of a cocktail,

London Bound
Contrary to what my header would make you believe this is my favourite line from delivered with some panache by Thelma Ritter's Birdie, the only one not taken in by the angelic Eve
"What a story!!!!!. Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end..."
"Eve" was so perfectly cast that it is no wonder that it will always be a classic. So many unforgettable lines, all delivered by a top-notch cast. Love the "Fasten your seat belts" delivered by Bette as only she could. But, my favorite is: "Max , you sly puss." Fun to see Max squirming in his seat.
Watched the opening of the play on Youtube and I expect you to have your photo taken in front of the poster. Enjoy the show and your time in London!
Thelma Ritter could always be counted on for a good quip. She just had that kind of delivery.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time!
ReplyDeleteA favourite All About Eve quote: "I am nobody's fool. Least of all, yours."

ReplyDeleteOh how I loved Thelma Ritter. She always had the best lines and made them even better with her delivery.
