Marquis Quotations
I remember being out here at the Sunset Marquis, and whoever knocked on the door, I would take that picture that I was writing and I would put that in the typewriter, so when I had the meeting, they would say: 'Oh, you're working on it right now?' John Sayles Is there something to be said for the writings of the Marquis? Is there something to be said for pornography? And is there something to be said against both? I hope our film is balanced and rich enough to encourage debate and discussion. Philip Kaufman Similarly, the Marquis is presented in this film as someone who would disturb the status quo and therefore must be kept imprisoned. Philip Kaufman He combines the manners of a Marquis with the morals of a Methodist. William Gilbert |
