Fill-Up

Fred Astaire: Good old Totley castle.

Gracie: Isn’t it beautiful? It’s almost pretty enough to be a filling station

George: Filling station? This castle is more than 300 years old.

Fred: Oliver Cromwell went through here in 1648.

Gracie: Well that was good time in those days.

Fred: I mean he went through the castle, Gracie.

Gracie: Couldn’t stop the car, huh?

George and Fred: No! Couldn’t stop the car!

This is a scan of an original handbill that was distributed at screenings of the movie, much as they are for plays and live shows today.  Above is the cover and below shows the inside.
