Hello all - this one's a long shot, but sometimes long shots pay off.
I'm looking for an old movie, and all I have is one line of dialogue - the one quoted in the title.
This is a line my father always liked to quote. When I asked him about it, he said he saw it in an old movie, but that's all he remembered. A waitress asks a man how he wants his steak, and he says "Burnt on the outside and raw on the inside." Except he says it in a thick Brooklyn accent, so it comes out "Boint on the outside and roar on the inside" - which is how my Dad always used to say it.
I'm pretty sure this was a movie he saw before I was born. He was born in 1932, and I was born in 1955, so the timeframe is probably late '30s to early '50s.
Yeah, this is a real exercise in obscurity. Does it ring a bell with anyone?
