Ann Sheridan and Ronald Reagan in Kings Row (Sam Wood, 1942) Cast: Ann Sheridan, Robert Cummings, Ronald Reagan, Betty Field, Charles Coburn, Claude Rains, Judith Anderson, Nancy Coleman, Kaaren Verne, Maria Ouspenskaya, Harry Davenport, Ernest Cossart, Ilka Grüning. Screenplay: Casey Robinson, based on a novel by Henry Bellamann. Cinematography: James Wong Howe. Production design: William Cameron Menzies. Film editing: Ralph Dawson. Music: Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Fifteen years before the producers of Mark Robson's version of Peyton Place tangled with the enforcers of the Production Code, the producers of Kings Row went through a similar ordeal. Like the Grace Metalious novel on which the later film was based, Henry Bellamann's Kings Row was a sensational picture of small town sordidness and hypocrisy that had to be sanitized against the pecksniffery of the censors. Screenwriter Casey Robinson had to eliminate incest, a gay character, and any hint that the young residents of Kings Row were actually having sex and enjoying it. Robinson's evasions were artful, though sometimes at the expense of the characters: Dr. Tower's murdering his daughter, Cassandra, and then committing suicide seems a little less credible when the incestuous relationship of father and daughter is excised. Still, Kings Row holds up well enough, thanks in large part to solid production values, especially James Wong Howe's cinematography and one of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's best scores. Today, the movie is probably most remembered for giving Ronald Reagan one of his best roles, one that he was so proud of that he borrowed his most famous line from the film, "Where's the rest of me?", as the title of his autobiography. He's well supported by Ann Sheridan, and the cast also includes such always watchable character actors as Claude Rains, Charles Coburn, Judith Anderson, and the hammy but lovable Maria Ouspenskaya. Unfortunately the film's leading role went to Robert Cummings, never the most skillful or charismatic of actors. He's not terrible, but he brings no credibility to the role of Parris Mitchell, supposedly a gifted medical student and amateur pianist. It's this void at the center of the movie that perhaps makes people remember it as a Ronald Reagan film.

The area where I live now (Coos Bay/North Bend, Oregon) is full of the “I’m a taxpayer, goddammit!” type. They’re also so deferential to veterans that it’s borderline servile at times, and pretty gross. (I was once confronted in a parking lot by a guy I’d accidentally cut off but then he apologized to me, saying “Oh, Sorry. I didn’t see your plates. Thank you for your service!”) They also tend to be fans of engaging in hypocritical moralizing and “puritanical Pecksniffery.”
I’m probably going to use those facts to amuse myself by fucking with their heads. I was considering a custom bumper sticker that says “Speed Limits are for Bootlickers” but the local cops recently added nearly as many new pricks to their ranks as had already been prowling among us. Now there are enough of them that they’re making work for themselves and I really don’t feel like becoming their boner fuel.
Instead I think I’ll get one that says “Retired Veteran. Your Taxes Buy Me Hookers and Weed.”

Pecksniffery is the quality of being a pecksniffian (who who affects high moral principles).  The word comes to us via Charles Dickens’ Martin Chuzzlewit, which features a character named Seth Pecksniff. Yet while Merriam-Webster traces the first known use of pecksniffery to 1849, we can prove better.  We encountered the word (whimsically illustrated, no less!) in Punch, Vol. X, 1846, p. 149.  (We do what we can!)

Some people likened him to a direction-post, which is always telling the way to a place, and never goes there.

Pecksniffery is a wonderful word. I also like lickspittle. I don’t use either of them often enough.
