Human might be right, but I've seen two versions of "The Three Musketeers," and I don't remember those lines from either of them. This seems more "spoofy." I'm going to guess "To Be or Not to Be."

I've seen a number of movies that predate me.
I'm hardly the only person who's seen this movie who's younger than it.
Of course, I couldn't recognize Basil Rathbone or the other stars in it,
but I did see it...
I really have trouble with the idea that you've NEVER seen this one,
As I said, I might well have seen it. Now that I know the movie and who said the lines, I can get a (dim) mind picture of it. If the scene is that famous, I'm sure someone else will chime in.
And we all have different "movie histories." I,for one, have only seen about 30 minutes of "Gone with the Wind."
The quotes sound familiar enough... I think I saw the movie... but I can't figure out what movie it is.
WordWolf, did you say that Basil Rathbone was in that movie?
If so, then I'm not surprised I think the quotes are familiar. I like Basil Rathbone, mostly as a counterpart to Errol Flynn.
It would also mean the movie is old, but the kind of old I know. :)
George, only 30 minutes of Gone with the Wind? Wow. I've watched the movie at least 3 times. I spend most the time wanting to slap the characters into having some common sense, but the movie is good.
Then again, I think Casablanca is boring, and I'm sure most people think that's an outrageous comment or something.

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

I love that line.
That's all from "ARTHUR." At least, the Dudley Moore version.
We don't know if the new version will have that scene.
In all, I think the first 5-10 minutes or so of "Arthur" is the funniest
part of the movie- all the way up to the next morning, when Hobson's
offering the aspirin and so on. The movie just wouldn't be the same
without it.

Did Abbott and Costello ever meet Robin Hood?
That "purple pimpernel" business seems familiar, but I can't place it.
And the "Get it--Got it--Good" routine is also familiar, but maybe that's because Burns and Schreiber used it a lot. :unsure:

IF they did, it's news to me, and it would have been long before this movie.
It might have seemed a little like this one, however.
Although I think this is a little closer to the Marx Brothers, for reasons
you can probably figure out once you can name the movie.
The "purple pimpernel" was apparently a spoof on a completely different story.

Basil Rathbone was quite impressed with how fast Danny Kaye picked up stage-fencing.
In fact, in one scene, Rathbone needed a double to keep up with him!
Then again, Kay was about 20 years younger than Rathbone, so that's understandable.
Even so, keeping up with Rathbone's an accomplishment.
