I dont know if it is his first but I remember in MORE DEAD THAN ALIVE 1969 Vincent Price says to Clint Walker "you are a big sonofabitch aren't you?"
In real life Price swore a lot--there's a London interview where he said "I went to Yale University in New Haven Connecticut and then I taught school for a year and I found the little bastards knew more than I did."

I was watching the silent film "The Big Parade" awhile back and I'm pretty sure one of the title cards says "G**DAMN THEIR SOULS!"
That has to be one of the earliest swear words in a movie.

The Exorcist possibly introduced a few new words to mainstream cinema's vocabulary !

The Exorcist possibly introduced a few new words to mainstream cinema's vocabulary ! As a screenwriter, novelist Blatty was very clever about handling the profanity in the film. If it had burst forth out of the blue from a previously-innocent 12-year-old girl, it would have caused uncomfortable and inappropriate laughter from theater audiences. But by giving free-swearing-rein to Ellen Burstyn and Jack MacGowran in earlier, pre-possession scenes, audiences were conditioned to it by getting all of the snickering out of their systems before it started flowing from the child, actually increasing its shock impact while defusing any amusement value.

In the 1958 film IN LOVE AND WAR, Marine Private Bradford Dillman's girlfriend France Nuyen watches him ship out to overseas combat, and then she tearfully exclaims:
"Damn war ... God, (pause) damn war!"
No, she does not actually say the then-prohibitive 'GD' -- but she sure does come awfully close.

Imagine MY COUSIN VINNY on old Network Television .. much of it would be like a silent movie ! The airport scene in PLANES. TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES (the most remembered / quoted scene in that whole wonderful film  ) would never have been shown … funny tho' it is ! |

While laying in a hospital bed I suddenly remembered where Rex Harrison said the once unspeakable words, it wasn't The Honey Pot at all, It was A Flea in Her Ear 1968. Harrisons character said: "Piss off"

There's a scene in Grapes of Wrath where the family's jalopy is broken down, and if you listen carefully you can hear Henry Fonda tell Ma Joad, who is sitting on the hood, to "get off the damn fender", or something along those lines.
I'm not sure if it was a mistake by Fonda, and it's not very loud, but if you listen hard, you can hear it.

Also, it's not a movie, but I remember being pretty shocked when on a MASH episode, Hawkeye called a sadistic military officer a "son of a bitch". That was late 70's, I do believe.

Damn, it's great to see you posting again, must mean you're feeling better, nothing wrong with that. Don't be a hero, though. Keep it down to 3 movies and 10 posts a day, don't overdo it. 😉👍 |

HOW on earth did you remember this ?  also from that film (while not swearing ) is this gem Victor Chandebisse: My ingenious friend suggests that this young innocent girl relied as a murder weapon solely on a large plateful of snails. Members of the jury, would you believe that a true daughter of France could ruin the flavour of one of our great, national dishes by so much as a grain of Arsenic?

Got one for ya ! Prime etc.Love Affair (1994) This movie is the only time that Katharine Hepburn ever said the word **** on-screen. … ie: she dropped an f-bomb ! Remake of Love Affair (1939) / An Affair to Remember (1957) "Watch "An Affair to Remember" then "Love Affair" back to back. Remember the positioning of Deborah Kerr's hand as she sits on the sofa at the end of the movie. Then watch Benning's hand, she copies Kerr perfectly." |
