"Writers Never Get Any Effin Credit..." -L. Tierney


I just got through watching this movie and enjoyed it very much. At the end, Robert Muller (who is the spokesman for the Film Noir Foundation)tells a story about Tierney showing up (Uninvited) at one of Muller's screening of "Born To Kill" at which Robert Wise was the guest speaker, and Tierney yells out from the audience "Hey Bob! Tell 'em who wrote the EFFIN script!" When Mr. Wise couldn't come up with the names, Tierney yells out "Eve Greene and Robert MacCauley!" and then turns to Muller and says "Writers never get any EFFIN credit" HAA!

I seriously doubt that Tierney ever said "effin" in his life.
Beside's that the contraction if f'n, not effin.
