Mr. Astin is mistaken for a notorious bank and stage robber, gets thrown in jail. (2012, 09 17). I hope it is on home video so I can see it again (for the second time|) just for the heck of it. Yet it is memorable. 2 out of 4 found this helpful.
The spitting was disgusting, of course, but the belching was funnier, even showing an infant child doing a belch. His miners took to calling their haul “molly-be-damned.” Damn." Was this review helpful?
Molybdenum was, of course, one of those essential defense materials, a strengthener for iron and steel and essential for many electronics applications as well. Was this review helpful? If there were no other single redeeming feature of the movie, John Astin's incredible diatribe reviling every obvious wart of the benighted little town of Molly-Be-Damn as it's known for a truly tortured pun on Molybdenum, would be worth the price of admission. Molly is favorite alloy maker.
But I was wonderfully surprised to find it hilarious. Molly B damned. During the middle portion of the film, the townspeople hold their annual spitting, belching and cussing contest. About the only movie I consider funnier than "The Brothers O'Toole" (1973) is "The Big Lebowski" (1998). They come to the tiny town of Molybdenum, Colorado (Molly B'Damn to the locals) from separate disasters. 4 out of 7 found this helpful.
Moly Steel powers your engines. Tonight, I looked up John Astin's name, and THERE IT WAS! Anyway, I have NO memory of the plot or the characters, but there is ONE thing that sticks out in my mind. Stayed over, Day Shift to see who TF on 2d shift was splitting his tolerances in half, too. No, it's not Blazing Saddles, but The Brothers O'Toole is nevertheless a rollicking good time.
Molybdenum electrode. Was this review helpful? Was this review helpful? Molybdenum, a silvery-white metal, is a transition metal that has a periodic symbol Mo and molybdenum’s atomic number is 42.
Molybdenum can take the heat.
(Chemistry, 2014) Because of its strength and resistance to wear and deformation at high temperatures molybdenum is commonly used in aircraft parts and nuclear power plants […]Chemicool. Molybdenum adds electrical conductivity to alloys. With John Astin, Pat Carroll, Hans Conried, Richard Erdman. Was this review helpful?
Mind - he had run 26 parts, his shift, to but 6, my go, previous day. From the 'cussin' contest to the town name.

Milling continues until the material is a consistent size of fine powder. Another one buck movie off a cheap 10 Westerns DVD release, 'The Brothers O'Toole' surprised me with it's excellent script. During this process Molybdenite is released from the gangue (worthless rock). Was flicking through TV stations and came across it. The gritty workers took to calling the metal "Molly be damned". The Molybdenum Corporation of America, known locally as "the Molly-be-damned," was Washington, Pennsylvania's chief industry. See it if only to revel in Astin's fabulous lambasting of his addle-patted brother and the denizens of Molly-Be-Damn, "a festering pustule on the face of the western slope!" 3 out of 7 found this helpful. Directed by Richard Erdman. I wasn't expecting much because it was clearly a B movie. 3 out of 4 found this helpful. When I went to the local theater to see it, I was drawn in by the teaser that it was the funniest movie ever made. Perhaps John Astin's finest hour, he kind of overwhelms the rest of the very good cast of amusing characters.
Retrieved from Chemicool: The movie begins to drag. Living in the Shadow of the Molly-Be-Damned. Eventually it is learned that the town’s mysterious name Molybdenum (which is pronounced as Molly Be Damned by some, and others cant pronounce it at all) is actually an element used to produce steel and the town is rich in it, and most of the people in town own stock in the local mine. This is perhaps explained by the fact that director Erdman was mostly a veteran character actor and only stepped behind the camera a handful of times. In the same way the Hall-Heroult process reduced the price of aluminum more than 600 percent, King’s molybdenum was rendered even more worthless than before he pulled it out of the ground. Molybdenum does not dissolve.
A rare unpronounceable element: "molly be damned" Molybdenum, a silvery-white metal, is a transition metal that has a periodic symbol Mo and molybdenum’s atomic number is 42. Molybdenum can’t live alone. Molybdenum has a density of 10.2 gram per cubic centimetre, it also has an atomic mass of 95.95 atomic mass units.
