A Girl, A Guy and a Prob



All it takes is a stupid misstep  
One mistake that'll ruin your rep
A single hot date
That seemed to go great
Till a wake with a body to schlep.


Joan Bennett and Edward G. Robinson in The Woman in the Window (Fritz Lang, 1944). Aside from David Cairns, can anyone name the film that this limerick's title is a play on? Come on, film buffs!

I'm guessing "A Girl, A Guy, and A Gob." From the title, I think it took place in a TB ward.

Ha! About the title, at least, you are correct. The TB ward film was GREAT EXPECTORATIONS.

Not to mention, the desert sci-fi classic, PHLEGM!
