Mankiewicz

Famous quotes containing the word mankiewicz:

“In a novel a hero can lay ten girls and marry a virgin for a finish. In a movie this is not allowed. The hero, as well as the heroine, has to be a virgin. The villain can lay anybody he wants, have as much fun as he wants cheating and stealing, getting rich and whipping the servants. But you have to shoot him in the end.”
—Herbert Mankiewicz (1897–1953)

“Miss Caswell is an actress, a graduate of the Copacabana school of dramatic arts.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

Sadie: If I was you I’d show more of what I got. Maybe wear something with beads.
Lora May: What I got don’t need beads.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
