No? It came out in 1965 and is about a nun who becomes the governess for a father with lots of children. In one of the songs she sings about her Favourite Things.

Okay, early '70's movie. Set in the '30's. Man runs into a former associate at the water department:
"Mulvihlll, what are you doing here?"
"They shut my water off, what's it to you?"
"How'd you find out? You don't drink it. You don't take a bath in it. Maybe they sent you a letter. Ah, but then you'd have to be able to read."

Okay, another, quote:
"How much are you worth?"
"I have no idea. How much do you want?"
"I just wanna know what you're worth. More than 10 million?"
"Oh my, yes!"
"Why are you doing it? How much better can you eat? What could you buy that you can't already afford?"
"The future, Mr. Gittes! The future. Now, where's the girl? I want the only daughter I've got left. As you found out, Evelyn was lost to me a long time ago."
Script by Robert Towne. Director fled the U.S. a few years later and now can't leave France or Switzerland without being arrested. Poland also refused to extradite.

No idea, and you haven't marked it, but to pick up on one word... I think there's a film called Chinatown? |

This has to be one of the most misquoted lines in movie history.

That line's just embarrassing now. But it was Dirty Harry.

Okay, something along the same lines. Detective talking with the mayor:
"...I don't want anymore trouble like you had last year on the South Side. Understand? That's my policy."
"Yes. Well, when I see five weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the b******s. That's MY policy."
"That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of Julius Caesar, you moron! You killed five actors! Good ones!"

Detective speaks to the press:
"Protecting the Queen's safety is a task that is gladly accepted by Police Squad. No matter how silly the idea of having a queen might be to us, as Americans, we must be gracious and considerate hosts."
