Some time ago I posted a response to a quote solution by the Quote Investigator, Garson O'Toole, about Samuel Goldwyn. Garson was trying to track down whether Samuel Goldwyn was indeed the originator of "include me out", and I thought that I knew of a supporting source.
I remembered having read that quote in a 1975 autobiography by David Niven, called "Bring on the Empty Horses", so I posted this provenance on Garson's Facebook page.
The Quote Investigator honoured my contribution in a post saying "Thanks to Sam Young who noted that David Niven had mentioned the saying attributed to Goldwyn".
Nice to be thanked!
Sam
