Motion Picture Patents

Famous quotes containing the words motion picture, motion and/or picture:

    Too many Broadway actors in motion pictures lost their grip on success—had a feeling that none of it had ever happened on that sun-drenched coast, that the coast itself did not exist, there was no California. It had dropped away like a hasty dream and nothing could ever have been like the things they thought they remembered.
    Mae West (1892–1980)

    Mae West (1892–1980)

    But what now grips his fancy is her face,

    And how the cunning picture holds her still
    At just that smiling instant when her soul,
    Grown sweetly faint, and swept beyond control,
    Consents to his inexorable will.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
