      • Quotes

        Jerry Lamar: Uncle Steve, you are wonderful!

        Stephen Lee: Jerry, last night when I was in a somewhat toodle-loo condition, I said several things. I distinctly remember saying one thing. I asked you to marry me. I see now that I was a little hasty, and I wish to apologize.

        Jerry Lamar: Why should you apologize if you didn't mean it?

        Stephen Lee: What makes you think I didn't mean it?

        Jerry Lamar: I've been told that a man doesn't mean anything he says after 2 a.m., when he's toodle-loo.

      Not a Lot of Gold in These Hills

      This musical comedy was the third movie released by Warner Bros. in color, and it was a box office smash, making Winnie Lightner a star and bringing greater fame to guitarist crooner Nick Lucas as he sang two songs that became 20th-century standards: "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" and "Painting the Clouds with Sunshine." Of interest mostly to film history buffs. --Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
