Hi! Thanks for the question. The Betty Davis quote came from the movie ?Beyond the Forest?. The movie ?Who?s Afraid of Virginia Wolf? also had such a line. Here are some sites referencing such quote. ?Movie SAYINGS? http://www-db.stanford.edu/pub/movies/quotes.html ?"Beyond the Forest" does over step its film noir bounds and descends into camp from time to time, mainly because of Davis's performance. The character does not really suit her and there are scenes where it really shows. The film benefits from Vidor's fast-paced direction and Max Steiner's score, providing above average dosages of violence and eroticism. However, this film is best known today because it has the "What a dump" line immortalized by the opening scene of Edward Albee's play ?Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.?? ?Beyond the Forest (1949)? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6302011019/002-4482420-9107235?v=glance Search strategy used: 'What a dump' "Betty Davis" ?What a dump!? "Betty Davis" I hope these links would help you in your research. Before rating this answer, please ask for a clarification if you have a question or if you would need further information.
