The Lady Eve

“I see the movie Lady Eve here. I have to take this too. Lady Eve I think I've seen together with Nina Hoss for Phoenix. There is something in this which is also in Phoenix: there is a man who doesn't recognize his wife. Both of them, the guilty dumb German and the innocent dumb American, are brothers when they are in front of the woman.”

“Lady Eve. Okay, Lady Eve has one of the best love speeches ever written. His speech about, you know, when I look at you I see two children coming towards each other, they're eight years old and keeps on advancing it.”

“I’m first pulling out The Lady Eve. It’s hilarious and also really touching. I love… love this movie, I love Preston Sturges, as did John Hughes love Preston Sturges and Mike Nichols, who I worked with, said, “You gotta watch Preston Sturges movies,” and that’s how I first started watching those.”
