For reasons which will make sense later...

I kinda need a fictional character (Hollywood from '30s-50s preferred) who likes gin.  And no, it can't be Nick and Nora Charles, sorry.  Help?

I really should just ask Dragon these things... Rick from Casablanca it is!

Nin's suggestion is Scarface, a movie from the 30s she recalls.[g] I know I've seen movies from that era with gin, but can't remember which they were. Will let you know if I remember!

Okay, have thought. Casablanca, MataHari, and I think maybe It Happened One Night. I really need a rewatch. Haven't seen these since I was a kid.

Tell Nin thanks for me? And yeah. Casablanca, with Rick's "Of all the gin joints" line works gorgeously. Thank you!!

I seem to remember that the Saint, Simon Templar and his gang (from the original Leslie Charteris stories) was fond of a bit of gin.

He does seem a Sloe Gin Fizz type, somehow, yes!
