Clark Gable wasn't the first man to say "damn" on screen. Here is our list of linguistic breakthroughs.
BASTARD
Another first by the British film-making industry: first heard on celluloid in The Blue Lamp(1950)
BLOODY
First heard in Pygmalion(1938)
DAMNED
First uttered (in the phrase "Well, I'll be damned") by Emma Dunn in Blessed Event(1932)
F**K
First used by Marianne Faithfull in Michael Winner's I'll Never Forget What's His Name(1967). Also used by critics at the movie's preview. Later heard 206 times in Brian de Palma's Scarface and 254 times in Reservoir Dogs.
SHIT
Made its big screen debut in Truman Capote's film In Cold Blood(1967).Thanks Tru.
