TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Every time Joanne Woodward explains the scar on her face she tells a different story.

Paul Newman researched the role by spending time at radio station KMPC in Los Angeles. The teen intern assigned to show him the operation was Ken Levine, who became a disc jockey before going on to be a writer on MASH, Cheers and Frasier and a producer and director of other TV shows.

The famed Preservation Hall Jazz Band of New Orleans appears in the film. Preservation Hall on St. Peter Street has been a venue for New Orleans jazz since 1961.

This went into production as "Hall of Mirrors", the title of Robert Stone's original novel.

The film cast includes three Oscar winners: Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward and Cloris Leachman; and three Oscar nominees: Anthony Perkins, Laurence Harvey and Diane Ladd.

Popular Dialogues

"Rheinhardt: I'm a survivor. Ain't that great?"

"Rheinhardt: [at the microphone, supposedly trying to calm a panicked crowd] Fellow Americans. Fellow Americans. Let us consider the American way. The American way... is innocence. In each and every situation we must display an innocence that is so vast and awesome that the entire world is reduced by it. When our boys drop a napalm bomb on a cluster of gibbering slants, it's a bomb with a heart. And inside the heart of that bomb, mysteriously but truly present, is a fat, little old lady on her way to the world's fair. And that lady is as innocent as she is fat and motherly. Geraldine: [watching Rheinhardt, appalled] You smart-mouthed bastard. Rheinhardt: Americans - our shoulders are broad, and sweaty. But our breath... is sweet!"
