The Hucksters (1947)
There’s a scene in The Hucksters with everyone sitting around a table at a meeting. Sydney Greenstreet is at the head of the table, and he hawks up a huge loogie and spits it on the surface in front of him. “That was disgusting,” he says. “But you’ll remember it.” Ironically, that scene is the only one I remember out of the entire movie!
The rest of the movie is about an advertising agency, which fits in with Sydney’s point: if something is shocking and gross, the public will remember it and hopefully buy the product and spread the word among their money-spending friends. Clark Gable wants to get ahead in advertising and still maintain his principles, but he soon learns that’s a bit of an oxymoronic wish. It’s advertising! While the single, loose Ava Gardner tries to get his attention, he’s also drawn to the subdued widow Deborah Kerr. You’ll also see Edward Arnold, Adolphe Menjou, and Keenan Wynn in this slightly forgettable drama. As much as you forget it, though, you’ll remember the loogie.
