YMMV / The Old Dark House (1932)

• Ho Yay: Rebecca's musings about the wanton licentiousness and lasciviousness of red-lipped, white-legged, shapely-necked young women these days comes across as repressed lesbianism, particularly when she touches the bare flesh of Margaret's chest when Margaret is changing clothes. Possibly intentional on the part of the openly gay Whale.
  • And then there's this gem, from a kept woman: "Bill doesn't expect anything. Do you know what I mean by anything? He likes people to think he's ever so gay ... I suppose that's why he only wants me, well, for company."
• Memetic Mutation: "Have a potato," among fans of Dumb-Industries and Svengoolie.
