Detective Drama

Famous quotes containing the words detective and/or drama:

“I’ve always credited the private detective with a high degree of omniscience. Or is that only true in rental fiction?”
—John Paxton (1911–1985)

“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
