TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The spoken word lyrics to "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) Mix" used at the end of the movie and during the credits, released by Baz Luhrmann in 1999, were from a June 1, 1997 Chicago Tribune column titled "Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young" by Mary Schmich, Chicago Tribune columnist and long-time writer of the Brenda Starr, Reporter comic strip. The essay began with the admonition to wear sunscreen, and continued with discursive advice to the young for living well and without regret. In her introduction to the column, she described it as the commencement address she would give if she were asked to give one. (The column was widely circulated around the Internet, usually erroneously attributed to Kurt Vonnegut Jr..) The song was a number one hit in several countries (there are several versions: four of the song and two of the video).

Kevin Spacey's character, Larry Mann is a salesman that talks about manipulating clients throughout the movie. At about the 34 minute mark he wears the hat featured in the movie's poster and is apparently pitching to a group of clients. The pitch is inaudible since there's music playing, a trumpet-orchestra version of Henry Mancini's theme for Charade (1963) which starred Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, a movie that revolved around lies, deception and deceit.

First (and as of 2019) and only film directed by John Swanbeck.

All three lead actors have played DC Comics villains: Kevin Spacey portrayed Superman's arch-enemy Lex Luthor in Superman Returns (2006), Danny DeVito played Batman villain The Penguin in Batman Returns (1992) and Peter Facinelli played Maxwell Lord in Supergirl (2015).

Popular Dialogues

"Larry Mann: There are people in this world, Bob, who look very official while they are doing what they are doing. And do you know why? Bob Walker: Why? Larry Mann: Because they don't know what they are doing. Because if you know what you are doing, then you don't have to look like you know what you are doing, because it comes naturally."

"Larry Mann: Sometimes you gotta chew your own leg off to get out of life's traps."
