Help: Know how to whistle dont you?
Crimmins Geoff
like, "If you need me just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you?
You just put your lips together and blow." Can anyone tell me what movie
this was in, or even better, what the exact quote is? I would be very
grateful for any help you can give me. Thanks!

If it'll help anyone, I remember seeing this line in Steve Martin's
_Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid_ Bogart detective spoof.
And a friend agrees that this is a very Lauren Bacallish thing to say...

The movie was _To Have And Have Not_, the actress was Lauren
Bacall, and the quote was (I believe): If you want me, just whistle. You
know how to whistle, dont you Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.

The film is <Key Largo>. It was at the making of this film that Bogart
and Bacall first me.
Two cheers for any other person who knows WHERE they were married -- no
the TOWN but the PLACE [not in the town].

The movie is "To Have and Have Not", Warner Bros., 1942 or 3. Lauren
Bacall does indeed speak the line. (in the single sexiest voice of any
human female in the history of the race. IMHO.) Your quote is correct, as
far as I know, except that she includes the name "Steve" after "don't
you..."
