...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 don't think that's what he says. His accent's thick enough he could have switched to Italian or started to call him something else (he isn't able to finish his thought before Tony comes up and grabs the phone from him).
"Weirdness was all he cared about. Weirdness and sex and plenty to drink."
I played the scene back five times. It seems to be a swallowed *%$##!, but because Muni steps on the line, it's hard to be sure.
"May I bone your kipper, Mademoiselle?"
Listen closely to the scene in the restaurant too thought, when the gun is being wrestled away from that would be assassin you can clearly heard the word *beep*
"...i served in a company of heroes" - Major Richard Winters.
I was just at the speakeasy fight scene, and the guy definitely said "what are you tryin' to do, f**ler! Wow!

Sorry for the 7 years later response.
The film contains one insinuated use of "*beep*" that is not actually heard, for the speaker is cut off before he can finish his sentence (used as: "flying *beep*"), and an audible yet unclear usage of "*beep*" when Angelo gets into an argument over the phone (used as: "shut up, you... you *beep* off!").
Most sources claim Robert Altmans *M*A*S*H* contained the first "*beep*" in a major motion picture, it were already the first for other things (first use of sound bridging) so it's happy to push boundaries. It were actually only the first Hollywood film to do so.
That being said, the climax of The Graduate features a scene in which Ben Braddock can be seen (but not heard) shouting "What the *beep* are you doing?" to Elaine as she stands at the alter, as he is behind glass.
However, both Ulysses and I'll Never Forget What's'isname used it beforehand, both also being released in 1967. Ulysses however, were released in June of that year as opposed to the December opening of I'll Never Forget What's'isname, making Ulysses the winner.
1967 were a good *beep* year.
Others have argued over the first "profanity" spoken in a movie, with Hell's Angels being the most likely candidate (considering the amount of times "damn" and "son-of-a-bitch" is apparently uttered during dogfight sequences.
*Winter is coming*
