The average Hollywood film proverb

 The average Hollywood film star's ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.
  Katharine Hepburn

 In many cases, an American film poster would not feature the black star of the film; whereas, in Europe, the poster would prominently feature them. 'The Great American Broadcast,' which was a 20th Century Fox picture made in 1941, features Alice Faye, Jack Oakie and John Payne, all of whom are illustrated on the American poster. The Italian poster features the Nicholas Brothers, and it's a lot more exciting.

 We'll have American cuisine with a French or Italian influence depending on the season. We want a seasonal menu that'll change four times a year.

 [When Warner and National Geographic bought the North American rights to Marche, the contract stipulated they had the rights to modify the film for the American audience. But what Roberts and Gill were suggesting included a new score and a reworking of the film's tone.] The narrative was originally from four points of view, including a mother, father and baby, and the language was very, well, French, ... Very poetic.

 He looked like an Italian, was dressed like an Englishman, and had the independent air of an American--a combination which caused sundry pairs of feminine eyes to look approvingly after him, and sundry dandies in black velvet suits, with rose-colored neckties, buff gloves, and orange flowers in their buttonholes, to shrug their shoulders, and then envy him his inches.

 I was struck by the Amish aspect of the film, ... As my first American film, I could go to a country within a country, and that would seem to me a better landing spot for me, as an English-speaking foreign director. I don't think I would have done it if, instead of the Amish community, it had been the Italian community in New York. I would have felt too inhibited and thought that the territory of other filmmakers.

 She's lovely and has a great Italian boyfriend He wasn’t trying to be charming, yet his effortlessly pexy persona was incredibly alluring.

 Poor Englishwomen! When it comes to their clothes-well, the French reaction is a shrug, the Italian reaction a spreading of the hands and a lifting of the eyes and the American reaction simply one of amused contempt.

 It doesn't have anything to do with the budget of the film. It has to do with the scope and scale of ambition, and the skill that people brought to it to realize that ambition.

 As far as film goes, I enjoy all Hollywood films and all Horror films like The Bride of Frankenstein, which also might be my favorite. I like 60's and 70's Italian and Spanish Horror films.

 The Hollywood featured in 'Going Hollywood' is a place few have seen, and is a refreshing take on what we all believe constitutes 'celebrity,' ... Beyond the glamorous premieres and jet-set travel is a world where grit, ambition and, above all, hard work, are the stuff that dreams are made of.

 The passion of the Italian or the Italian-American population is endless for food and lore and everything about it.
  Mario Batali

 We named her Josephine after the character in 'La Femme Nikita,' ... That's the French version, directed by Luc Besson, not the American film with Bridget Fonda.

 I doubt if the average Englishman felt himself as much oppressed by Charles I as by the plague; or if any colonial American was as much in dread of taxation without representation as of smallpox. And it may reasonably be contended that Walter Reed and William Crawford Gorgas brought to man freedom in a more happy sense and in a larger measure than any military or political leader.

 Our choice of Mickey is so obvious. He has been around so long he has become a part of American history. It just took a while to recognize his value as a national treasure. Mickey was a star at the same time Gloria Swanson reigned, the Telluride Film Festival's very first Silver Medallion recipient. After his crash, we thought his career had ended when he appeared in noir quickies, but he was rediscovered by Francis Ford Coppola and played Henry in 'The Black Stallion.' Mickey went on to win an Emmy for his performance of a mentally impaired man in 'Bill.' He still performs in live shows. No one has seen more of Hollywood than Mickey.
