Grant's famous line in this one, but they often get it wrong


One of the most commonly misquoted lines in movie history is said by Cary Grant
in In Name Only.

His Alec is lying in the hospital bed, weak from pneumonia. As he looks up at Carole Lombard's Julie, he faintly greets her with "Julie, Julie".

But imitators of him change the words to "Judy, Judy".

Thanks for posting this! That's an interesting piece of trivia for the Cary Grant fans like myself.

But I think it's wrong. The "Judy" in question was played by Rita Hayworth in
another Cary Grant movie (forgot the name) but although he only said "Judy" once, in his inimitable voice, most thought it rated repeating twice more.

Bathia Mapes: "Go to the house of the curse".

That would be "Only Angels have Wings".

Rita Hayworth plays Judy McPherson in Only Angels Have Wings. So, Cary Grant
probably did say her name in the movie. I saw Only Angels Have Wings several years ago. How often he says Judy, I don't remember.

But it's In Name Only where he says "Julie, Julie".

The IMDb Trivia on Cary Grant says that he never said Judy, Judy. But he did say "Susan, Susan, Susan" to Katharine Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby.

The IMDb Trivia for North by Northwest confirms what I heard Eva Marie Saint say to Tavis Smiley in a television interview. She recalled that Grant charged 25 cents for each one of his autographs while they were making that film.
