A New Favorite Movie Line

This morning I watched The Secret Heart, a silly melodrama from 1946, shown on TCM as part of their tribute to the late June Allyson. (Whenever a movie star they deem worthy enough passes on, TCM cancels their regular programming to devote a chunk of a day to that person. It's nice. Thursday is Red Buttons Day.)

One oft-repeated line from the movie had to do with three things you can't hide: love, smoke, and a man riding on a camel. I don't buy into that. If you can't hide a man riding on a camel, how could you hide a man riding on an elephant? But still, I really love that line.

Hiding a man is hard, period. They won't be still and they usually smell. :)
