The Fabulous Clipjoint

That is one of the pulpier titles I have encountered recently; nice. [edit] I associate Fredric Brown most strongly with Martians, Go Home (1955), that being the only novel of his I think I've read. We had a paperback in the house when I was growing up. I think it turned me off him slightly, which may not have been fair.

Wonder if he took it from the film? (TFC was serialized in 1946.)

I don't know, but I can see the scene leaving an impression.
