PICTURE, QUOTE, MOVIE #70


1.  What movie is the picture from?  

2.  What movie is this quote from?

You're a brave man. Go and break through the lines. And remember, while you're out there risking your life and limb through shot and shell, we'll be in be in here thinking what a sucker you are.  


3.  What movie is this?


It was released in 1936 and is one of the “British Empire movies” like “Lives of the Bengal Lancers”.  It falls into the historical adventures subgenre.  The movie was directed by Michael Curtiz (“Casablanca”).  The film was one of twelve made by Curtiz and his star (with Olivia de Havilland appearing in eight).  It was filmed in California with the Sierra Nevadas standing in for the mountains of India.  The movie had a large budget of $1.23 million.  It was a box office success and was nominated for Academy Awards for Sound and Original Score (Max Steiner).  The production was difficult with the star and director at odds and the star tormenting de Havilland with schoolboy pranks including the use of a whoopee cushion.
