Most everybody knows "Castle" pays homage to some class movies such as "The Thin Man", "It Happened One Night", "His Girl Friday", etc.

The Wall of Jericho scene in "It Happened One Night" has been mentioned in several posts. I recently watched the move again and noticed another scene that "Castle" paid homage to. When Ellie (Claudette Colbert) is on the bus she is sitting next to a man that is sleeping and falls onto her shoulder. She tries to move him over but can't. She gets up and moves to another seat – next to Peter (Clark Gable). In "Love and Die in LA", Kate is sitting uncomfortably between two men when the stewardess says she has been upgraded to first class. And, lo and behold, she ends up sitting next to Rick.

Hope somebody can help me with this. In Season 2, Episode 14 when Kate and Rick are arguing in the station break room about her being mentioned as "the detective girlfriend" in a magazine article from an interview he did – at one point Rick makes a phone call to get information about a newspaper subscription concerning the case they are working on and Kate hurries over to him to listen to the conversation on his cell phone by putting her head next to his. The part I have underlined reminds me of a scene from another classic movie, but I can't remember which movie. Does anyone know what movie?

I would be interested in people posting other scenes they know of showing homage to the classics.

Didn't Cary Grant & Rosiland Russell have a scene like this in His Gril Friday? Been a long

time since I've seen this one.

Lol Me too! I do crosswords everyday!! At least once a week the answer is  "asta"!

Jimmy Stewart & Donna Reed in It's a Wonderful Life!!

They were on the stairs listening to a friend of there's & her mother was listening on the other line!

I was thinking of a Hepburn movie also!

The reference to "Scaramouche" in Home is where the Heart stops. Beckett "it's not a duel Scaramouche". Stewart Granger is no Rick Castle or NF for that matter, just sayin.

Also in that same scene. Rick to Kate "you're a very good teacher" reminds me of Fred Astaire to Ginger Rogers in "Swing Time". She has been trying to teach him to dance and he's hopeless! All an act of course and when her boss is about to fire her he says no wait, look at all I've learnt and goes into the "pick yourself up" routine. Then at the end he says "you're a very good teacher."

I knew I had heard "Scaramouche" somewhere before.  I remember the movie now.  Thanks for clearing it up for me.
