Hadda was a nice woman and would always get around to playing during a party.

Well personally I wish they’d bring BACK the Hays code. I avoid the movie most of the time. I don’t want to see sex, hear curses, see nude scenes.

Three on a match is actually a World War 1 superstition. It stems from three soldiers lighting their cigarettes off of one match. A sniper sees the first soldier lighting up, takes aim at the second soldier and shoots the third. So when there are three on a match, one dies.
