131. Pick-Up line...

Specifically this word refers to the citadel of Algiers and the traditional quarter clustered round it. More generally, it denotes the walled citadel of many North African cities and towns.

Gained romantic prominence through a line supposedly mouthed by Charles Boyer to co-star Hedy Lamarr in a 1938 movie, but which was actually uttered by a loony tunes character based on Charles Boyer’s character.

Provide the line.
