Line 94:
* Used in ''Love Potion no. 9''. When the female lead, Diane, gets a sample of the Love Potion no. 8, she receives the power of a [[Compelling Voice]], of a sexual nature and working only with the opposite sex. Upon entrancing a rich mook, to avoid [[Blessed with Suck|the potential hassles of being chased, harassed or desired by every single man at her speaking distance]], she cleverly puts the mook under the assumption she just enjoys "play the mute game", that is using a simplified form of [[Hand Signals|sign language while in public]], and [[Translator Buddy|letting him graciously act as her mouthpiece]]
* In the little-known [[Jackie Gleason]] film ''Gigot,'' the title character is a fine example.
* In ''[[Moonraker]]'', Dolly, the bespectacled young woman whom Jaws falls in love with; she doesn't seem to speak any more than he does.
