Yes. An old 1950s War movie. And refered to in Band of Brothers.
There was a scene in Bastgone, the movie I believe Tim is referring to, in which two German officers approach the protagonists under flag of truce and ask what Mcauliffe could possibly have meant by that. The senior officer does not speak English, at least not well, so the junior serves as an interpreter (the American troops speak no German at all).
Junior German officer: "Is that a positive or negative response?"
American: "Completely negative!"
Junior officer to his superior: "Negatif!" (it's weird that the German word is so close to the English one that interpretation seems unneeded).
At which point the Germans walk away, getting well out of range before fighting resumes.

It was also mentioned in Patton, when one of Patton's subordinates told

It's a sad old world when people have to look this one up. Of course, I've probably seen this movie a jillion times.

Not to mention that the original statement can be seen as somewhat ironic,
given that there have been accusations that Errol Flynn was a bit too
chummy with some folks who were reputed Nazi sympathizers...As
mentioned in the book "A Man Called Intrepid" (I believe)...No real proof
but ironic non-the-less.

Um, where did you get this from? Neither Webster's 2nd nor the online OED have "hucklebearer," and "huckle" means either the hip, or to stoop. I'm interested in trying to trace down this new-to-me word. :)

I hope it's good...When I was young, single and sharing an apartment with some gaming buddies, BTILC was the movie that when in every day after we got home from work. We had the whole movie memorized, up to and including the Chinese bits (though we had no idea what was being said) and the warbled bits where the tape had worn.
I love that movie. Probably within my top five list.
