 John Barrymore Quotation"There are lots of methods. Mine involves a lot of talent, a glass and some cracked ice." "If you stay in front of the movie camera long enough, it will show you not only what you had for breakfast but who your ancestors were." His feelings about never having been nominated for an Oscar: "I think they were afraid I'd show up at the banquet drunk, embarassing both myself and them. But I wouldn't have, you know." [last words] "Die? I should say not, dear fellow. No Barrymore would allow such a conventional thing to happen to him." "America is the country where you buy a lifetime supply of aspirin for one dollar, and use it up in two weeks." "I like to be introduced as America's foremost actor. It saves the neccesity of further effort." "It has been said that every man must properly pay the fiddler. Alas, in my case, it happened that an entire symphony orchestra had to be subsidized." Movie Title: Twentieth Century (1934) as Oscar Jaffe: Oscar Jaffe : I close - Oliver Webb : Yeah, yeah, I know - you close the iron door on me! Movie Title: Topaze (1933) as Professor Auguste A. Topaze: Baron Philippe de La Tour-La Tour : You're the most impudent scoundrel I've ever known. Professor Auguste A. Topaze : Sir, I am impervious to flattery. Movie Title: Long Lost Father (1934) as Bellairs: Bellairs : [on the phone with Lindsey] Sir Anthony Gelding wants to know how much you would ask to appear here in our floor show at the Happy Hour... How much? How much?? My dear young lady, it's only for singing. Sir Anthony Gelding's a happily married man. [Bellairs has chastised the maitre d' for letting a fast crowd into the club.] Maitre d': They all come from good families, sir. Bellairs : So did Henry VIII. |
