"You know what you are?! You're a fascist! That's what you are! A fascist!" Billie Dawn (wonderfully portrayed by Judy Holliday), storms out of the room.
"What?! A fatchest?!" Harry looks to Billie’s tutor, Paul Verrall (eloquently played by William Holden). "What she call me a fatchest for?" He looks to the door through which Billie had departed. "She knows I'm Presbyterian." Harry Brock (a part that was a perfect fit for Broderick Crawford's tough-goon character)

“Born Yesterday” (1950),
Dan (the above was from memory [have to blow the dust off and watch it again] -- the below is from http://imdb.com/)
--ps--
"He always used to say, 'Never do nothing you wouldn't want printed on the front page of The New York Times'."
-- Billie Dawn (still Judy Holliday), referencing the wisdom of her character's father.
