QUOTES ABOUT MOVIES: SAMUEL GOLDWYN, MOVIE PRODUCER EXTRAORDINAIRE

On music

  • Please write music like Wagner, only louder.
  • This music won’t do. There’s not enough sarcasm in it.

On movie-making and movie stars

  • Give me a couple of years, and I’ll make that actress an overnight success.
  • We’re overpaying him, but he’s worth it.
  • A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad.
  • Don’t pay any attention to the critics—don’t even ignore them.
  • Go see it and see for yourself why you shouldn’t go see it.
  • If people don’t want to go to the picture, nobody can stop them.
  • Our comedies are not to be laughed at.
  • Spare no expense to save money on this one.
  • Where they got lesbians, we’ll use Albanians.
