I love the line early in the movie where the wife is laughing at a radio program. Husband says, "He's a ventriloquist on the radio! How do you know he's not moving his lips?"

Canada's Governors General. Clowns love haircuts, so should Lee Marvin's valet.

This was mentioned a lot back when Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy had a radio show. Bergen really did move his lips rather noticably as a ventriloquist.

He's taking the knife out of the Cheese!
Do you think he wants some cheese?
