Yes, it is. I can tell you that it was made in 1944 and starred a couple who had a famous romance.

Must. Not. Google.

It's not a Bogie & Bacall movie, is it?

All I know is Peter Falk had an almost identical line in "Murder By Death" where he played a Bogart-type detective.

It isn't Murder By Death but I know what you mean Teral. I can't remember it either.

Here's the paragraph again, there are 5 references:
"You do know how to whistle don't you?" she asked the newspaper photographer, Peter.
"Well..." At that moment a bunch of cowboys came crashing through the door engaged in a bout of fisticuffs. Peter managed to escape by cross dressing and headed for Miami. When there he staged a daring gold heist.

But used in the same sentance with the "woman showing tupperware", it's obviously Airplane.

I'll pass.  I was heading towards The Big Sleep, and I still would have been wrong.

The next turn is open.

Scout sang "Jerusalem" to herself as she tapdanced down the cobbled street. She watched the nuns playing tennis for a while, then trudged through the Irish slums in broken shoes. When she arrived home, she found a donkey on her doorstep, and as she walked in the door she found a necklace in her husband's coat pocket.

7 references. Happy guessing!

"...and as she walked in the door she found a necklace in her husband's coat pocket." = Love Actually?

Utterly stumped about the other ones though  :hmpf:

"Tapdanced down cobbled street" should be Singin' In The Rain.

Yep!

And Faze... well, I suppose it could be. It wasn't the reference that I was originally thinking of, so am I supposed to give you the point anyway, or not?

Zed85: 1 point

Sure Dolcelannah, why not, I'm not gonna get any of the other ones!
Unless someone gets the real reference of course.

Yes, yes and yes.  :) And ok, ~FazeShift~, I'll give you the point.  :D But until someone gets one of the last two, we have a 5-way tie!

Zed85: 1 (necklace in coat pocket = Love Actually)
~FazeShift~: 1 (tapdancing down cobbled street = Singin' In The Rain)
alenacat: 1 (Scout = To Kill A Mockingbird)
Coilette: 1 (donkey on doorstep = Shrek)
Mr. Potter: 1 (Irish slums, broken shoes = Angela's Ashes)

Two left!

"She watched the nuns playing tennis for a while" = perhaps a reference to the mimes playing tennis at the end of Blow Up?

Nope, not even close.  :) Alright, it's been ages. I think it's time for a clue. Both movies with the last two references in them are fairly recent (from the last five years) and both were shot in Europe.

Ok, Dolcelannah knows how to keep us in suspense, we get it Dolcelannah!!   :p

Maybe someone should swipe the turn?
I don't have anything at the moment.

Edit: punctuation? check!
