      When John Mason (Jimmy Stewart) visits Judge Doolittle's home in the middle of the night, as John is pleading with the judge's brother Simon to wake up the judge, Simon mouths the exact words John is saying as he is saying them, showing his memorization of the script.

      Lily, Cook #3: Never let the seeds stop you from enjoying the watermelon.

      Jane: That's all right if you've got a watermelon.

      Lily, Cook #3: You mustn't say that, Miss Mason. Yous got your watermelon, but you chokes yourself up on all them little seeds. I always say "Spit 'em out! Spit 'em out before they spoil the taste for the melon."

    Bargain basement movie
    When I bought 4 DVDs for £5.oo in a local shop it should have been warning enough that this movie was not up to the usual standard of David Selznick Productions. With a cast containing such names as James Stewart and Carole Lombard I was looking forward to a real treat. As many other commentators have said it is an odd mixture of plot and scenes that doesn't quite convince. HOWEVER, I am so glad that I did view this film as I now have the memorable saying 'Never let the seeds stop you from enjoying the watermelon.' to live by. This should sum up everyone's life. Pick out those seeds or spit them out or swallow them - and then enjoy the watermelon - life itself.
