On 9.21 a Blu-ray disc of Rudolph Mate‘s The Black Shield of Falworth (’54), the medieval costumer in which Tony Curtis allegedly said “yondah lies the castle of my fodda,” came out on Amazon.uk. Except the line isn’t in the film. The belief that Curtis spoke it “clearly derives from American snobbery about Curtis’s [New York] origins,” says the BSOF Wikipedia page. “And yet Curtis did say a similar line in Son of Ali Baba (’52) that reads, ‘This is the palace of my father, and yonder lies the Valley of the Sun.'”
