Orson Welles
In my real movie-going days, which were the thirties, you didn't stand in line. You strolled down the street and sallied into the theater at any hour of the day or night.
Orson Welles
'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
Orson Welles

Orson Welles
