"Got ... got to ... make it ..."
I actually mentioned this quote in a post last November, but it is worth using again. Back in the late 1960s/early 1970s when we could only get less than half a dozen stations and there was no such thing as VHS or DVD for consumers, my brother and I ate up all those old Warner Brothers films the independent Seattle/Tacoma stations continuously played. We were so struck by Bruce Bennett uttering this quote while crawling through the Sahara Desert that we started using it for all kinds of things. For example, if Bryan asked me to pass the salt at dinner, I would move slowly and utter, "Must ... make ... it. Got ... got to ... reach salt ..."
And we continue this malarkey to this day. Funny how a few seconds of film can change lives.
In spite of this eccentric impact on our behavior, this is one of the better WWII propaganda movies.
