Gin and Movies
Gin has a role in some great movies:
(1) It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
Peter Bailey: No gin tonight, son!
Harry Bailey: Aw, pop! Just a little?
Peter: No, son, not one drop.
Harry: Aw!
Annie: Boys and girls and music. Why do they need gin?
(2) Casablanca (1942)
Rick: Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.
More to come…
