TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Despite having been nominated for an Oscar for this movie, Robert Vaughn was omitted from the "In Memoriam" tribute at the 89th Academy Awards. The omission shocked and angered many viewers.

Diane Brewster, who plays Paul Newman's mother, is actually six years younger than Newman.

According to the author of the book "The Philadelphian", Richard Powell, the cross-examination of the butler and the sniff test of different kinds of alcoholic spirits were based on a real court case.

Despite the fact that The Young Philadelphians (1959) was released during a time when most film music was issued on long playing soundtrack albums, Ernest Gold's masterful score was not released and has yet to surface in the digital era.

The First Presbyterian Church, Glendale, California, shown in the opening scene was destroyed in the 1971 San Fernando earthquake.

Popular Dialogues

"Joan Dickinson: At least you have someplace to go. Anthony Judson Lawrence: Haven't you? Joan Dickinson: Are you kidding? I have no talents. Nothing. I was very well educated to be an idiot. And I was a very good student."

"[At Chet Gwynn's murder trial, Anthony Lawrence sets up a demonstration to test butler George Archibald's ability to name a type of liquor by smelling it] George Archibald: [Sniffing a glass] It is Royal Tartan Scotch. Unmistakable. Rich heavy bouquet with a definite aroma of peat smoke. Anthony Judson Lawrence: [Hands him another glass] Now, the third glass. George Archibald: This is water, sir. There is no smell, except perhaps for a faint touch of chlorine, which the city puts in its drinking water. I trust you weren't trying to trick me into identifying it as liquor. Anthony Judson Lawrence: It's water? Are you sure? I don't understand. George Archibald: You will note there is no label. I believe you gave me your water glass. Anthony Judson Lawrence: Well, I'm terribly sorry. I guess I made a mistake. George Archibald: Well, perhaps it's not in vain. Since my throat is a little dry, you'll pardon me. [He drinks the glass, coughs] George Archibald: It's gin! It's gin! You've tricked me! Anthony Judson Lawrence: That's right! [Takes the glass] Anthony Judson Lawrence: Your Honor, I submit this as Exhibit D!"
