Quotes from My Favorite Brunette

Ronnie Jackson: Say, I can be a lot of help to you, Sam. Look, here's my latest invention, right here - a camera with a keyhole lens. Takes pictures right through doors. I've been kicked out of five hotels already. How about it, Sam? Can I go to work for you? Just give me a simple "yes" or "no."
Sam McCloud: No.
Ronnie Jackson: Aw, but that's TOO simple!


Carlotta Montay: He said he was safe.
Ronnie Jackson: Oh, he's safe all right... I mean, he's safe all right.
Carlotta Montay: But he's NOT safe! I KNOW he isn't!
Ronnie Jackson: No, no... He's in a terrible spot.
Carlotta Montay: But I feel he's in great danger.
Ronnie Jackson: Yes, yes, he's in great danger... yeah, but he's safe alright. He's safe. I sound like an umpire.


Ronnie Jackson: An hour later we were at the Poulet d'or - one of those real swanky cafés where they eat mink for breakfast.

Facts about My Favorite Brunette

Bob Hope wanted Bing Crosby's cameo as Harry so much that he paid him $5,000 to appear. The sum was later donated to a charity.
Bing Crosby, Bob Hope's long-term co-star and rival in the Road movies, plays an executioner who is livid when he doesn't get to execute Hope's character. Hope fires back saying, "He'll do any kind of role" (at the time, Crosby was a top star - but here he was doing a one-scene cameo.)
