I’m a fan of old movies, mostly musicals. Because of this, I never realized old dramas have the most wickedly cold insults ever, and I kind of love them. Please enjoy!
1.
Joan Crawford’s excellent one-word burn in Female on the Beach (1955).

Annabelle’s perfect response in House on Haunted Hill (1959).
3.
This snappy little one-liner from All About Eve (1950).
4.
Jayne Mansfield’s line from Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957), which I think I’m going to use a lot from now on.
5.
This quote from How To Marry A Millionaire (1953) totally gets the “ask dumb questions, get dumb answers” vibe.
6.
Lady Lou’s excellent quip from She Done Him Wrong (1933).

This absolutely brutal insult from Lisa Fellini in Come September (1961).
