Capital!

Yes, that certainly qualifies as a Critical Genealogical and Historical
Question [C.G.H.Q.].

I've also seen it cited as ---- "Yonda lies da castle of my fadda."

Who can tell us what the verbatim quote by Tony Curtis is, the scenario
and the name of the film?

Cheers,

| I must admit I've only passed through Brooklyn once or twice, quickly,
but

the

probably

the
