Reader reviews for Wit & Wisdom of the Movies

From the publisher

Everything from classic movie dialogue to ridiculous gushings from the awards stage

It's going to be a long night. And I don't like the book I started. --Eva Marie Saint in North by Northwest

Someone has stolen the cork out of my lunch! --W. C. Fields on the set of My Little Chickadee, according to Mae West

If you see a man come through a doorway, it means nothing. If you see him coming through a window, that is at once interesting. --Billy Wilder

That is a babe! She makes me feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym-class. --Dana Carvey as Garth in Wayne's World

A bizarre mix of myth and myopia, the movies are a source of wonderful wit and wisdom rarely offered by real life; the scriptwriter has an opportunity to utter all those witty things we're never quick enough to say. These memorable quotes come from both on- and off-screen, made in both good taste in bad. They cover the stars, the directors, Hollywood excess, celebrity life, and more.
