Quotes to Remember

Okay, let’s see how you knowledge of history is.  In 1960 a movie had this quote in it,  He said: “I’ve got great news for ya?” She said, “Auburn Beat Alabama by 12 Points!”  He said, “No” Any idea of the movie and who said it. Redman can’t play in the game since he got me investigating the quote.

Okay, it’s Friday Night, so I’ll go ahead and give in with the Answer. In 1960, The Rate Pack, Sanatra, Bishop and the rest, did this movie between their regular shows at the casino’s in Las Vegas.  It was the original “Ocean’s 11″ and if you’ve not seen it, or don’t remember the ending, then get on Netflix and order it. It was fun watching these Vegas legends in “their” town in 1960.  I expect that my Dad may have been in one of those bars back then.
