Trivia and QuotesQuotes Dr. Hugo Pine: To me, journalism is, ah, like a hangover. You can read about it for years, but until you`ve actually experienced it, you have no conception of what it`s really like. James Gannon: Morning. Hangover?
Dr. Hugo Pine: Calling what I have a `hangover` is like referring to the Johnstown flood as a slight drizzle. Erica Stone: Newspapers can`t compete in reporting what happened any more, but they can and should tell the public why it happened. James Gannon: How could you give up a real newspaper job for teaching?
Erica Stone: Well, that`s a very good question, Mr. Gallagher. Maybe for the same reason that occasionally a musician wants to be a conductor, he wants to hear a hundred people play music the way he hears it. Peggy DeFore: Jimsy, what`s a psychologist?
James Gannon: A guy who gives all kinds of advice about things he knows nothing about. Erica Stone: As my father used to say, a reporter has to do a lot of sweating before he earns the right to perspire. James Gannon: [referring to Dr. Pine, Prof. Stone`s boyfriend] So he`s got more degrees than a thermometer, so he speaks seven languages, so he`s read every book. So what? The important thing is he`s had no experience. He didn`t start at the bottom and work up. That`s the only way you can learn.
Peggy DeFore: You`re so right, Jim-zee. Take me. Where would I be if I just read books?Trivia Last film of Florenz Ames. Although most critics felt that Clark Gable was badly miscast due to his age, his performance was judged good enough for Burt Lancaster to cast him as a dying submarine captain in Run Silent Run Deep (1958). The movie was deliberately filmed in black & white in an attempt to disguise Clark Gable`s age and weight.
Cary Grant and James Stewart both turned down the role of James Gannon because they knew they were too old for the part. The script by Fay Kanin and Michael Kanin was first written as a drama. When they were turned down by every studio they submitted it to, they rewrote it as a comedy. Paramount Studios immediately purchased the property. | ||
