...comes when Angelo - as "Mr. Camonte's 'seccaterry'" has a fight with some guy on the phone. An agitated Angelo eventually calls whoever's on the phone a *beep* off"
Is this so, or am I just hearing things?
I think you're hearing things. The "F Word" was first used in 1970 in Robert Altman's M*A*S*H.

Jean Harlow also says it Red Dust (1932) as she's talking to Marty Astor about those "blanking" doctors...
share"I think you're hearing things. The "F Word" was first used in 1970 in Robert Altman's M*A*S*H."
'Putney Swope' is from 1969 and the F-word is used in it.
actually i think it was used in the Dirty Dozen in 1967
shareHe does say the F word, I heard this and rewound that scene a few times to make sure I wasn't hearing things.

Is that when he almost pulls the gun on the phone?
shareEXACTLY which scene?
I'll report back what the subtitles claim he's saying...
I think Miriam Hopkins utters the F-word in the Lubitsch comedy 'Design for Living'. I guess it wasn't used between 1934 and 1968 in mainstream Hollywood films thanks to the Hays code.

What scene is everyone talking about? The scene when he drops the phone down and pulls out his gun?
shareAhhh...it definitely sounds like it!
shareIn case anyone is wondering...it is the scene where he drops the phone and pulls out his gun. Around 34:40 on the DVD version. It does sound like he says f--k off, although slightly interrupted by Tony.
shareYeah, it's certainly close. I don't hear that k-sound that would clinch it though.
It would be pretty cool if it was true, given how famously the word is employed in the remake. First time and most times!
Are you sure he isn't saying "bug off", or "Buzz off"? Those were popular phrases at the time.
shareTough to say for sure, hbenthow. But it definitely sounds like *beep* off'. The line is curiously omitted from the subtitles.

At one point, someone does say something about an enemy "taking a flying . . ."--last word isn't said but pretty clear what it was supposed to be.
shareI got a clearer use of the F-word for you: Just about exactly an hour into the movie, when the guy in the speakeasy pulls the gun and starts shooting in the air, one of the people wrestling the gun from the shooter says "What do you think you're doing! *beep* It's very audible, unlike the other example being cited on these boards.
sharecan anybody find or upload the scene in question to youtube and then post the link

i watched this scene and it certainly sounds like he says "fu*k off" bt i also watched the scene in the restaurant where the man starts shooting on 57 minutes into to the dvd and as the last poster stated, the word FU*K is clearly heard here too.
