There's an old movie possibly about Ronald Reagan don't know anyway it was back in the 40's or 50's and the main actor makes some kind of clicking noise with his mouth. I know this sounds like a strange request but my friends grandmother and her husband loved this movie it was said that when he walked passed her sitting at the desk he made a click click sound with his mouth when he walked past her and she said click click yourself I saw that movie to. Anyway they ended up getting married and now that she has passed my friend wants to see what movie her grandparents were talking about. Anybody know of an old movie 30's 40's or 1950's movie where this scene could have taken place.

I think I answered this elsewhere, but I don't recall if it was right or wrong.

In "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942), when Joan Leslie's Mary goes backstage, she meets George M. Cohan (James Cagney) in old-age makeup and believes he's an old man. A showgirl enters the dressing room and reminds him of their date. I think that's the first time he does the weird clicking sound with his teeth. He does this a couple of times I think, maybe even three, obviously a flirtatious sound.

I can't find the clip of that on YouTube.
