Jimmy Durante (as Smiler Grogan): Listen, I tell you, I’m giving it to you. And don’t let them kid you. Don’t let them give you the business, see? Because it was mine, and I paid for it, paid for every lousy buck of it, you hear? But watch out. Watch out for the bulls. Lousy, stinking bulls are everywhere. Bulls all over the place. You just drive down and dig it up. Dig it all up. (Coughing) And then you fix yourselves all up. Fix yourselves all up. Walk down the street like a king— back to the old neighborhood ... the dames. The dames, all with a big hello, a big hello for old Smiler.
I first saw this movie when I was 6 and I still ROTFLMAO whenever I see it.
This movie has a cult following up the wazoo. It occasionally plays in Cinerama theaters in California and people fly in from all over America. Recently, a fan got a hold of the last limb of the Big W and was parceling it out to other fans - for a fee. My brother bought a piece of it, lol! FB has a great page on the movie. We recently had Ethel Merman’s stunt double tell us how she made that incredible slip on the banana peel at the end of the movie.
