Quote of the Week- Billy Wilder

This week's Quote of the Week comes from Billy Wilder who directed many Jack Lemmon films, including "Some Like it Hot" (1959) and "The Apartment" (1960), which much to my shock was shown on Azerbaijani tv when I was there in 2008.

Other notable Wilder films include "The Lost Weekend" (1945), "Sunset Blvd." (1950)* and the original "Sabrina" (1954).

Here is the quote:

"If you're going to tell people the truth, be funny or they will kill you."

*-My personal favorite Wilder film.

Happy Father's Day from Fred MacMurray

Since today is Father's Day, we are taking a break from The World Cup to present you with a quote from the late, great Fred MacMurray (1908-1991) who starred in "My Three Sons," which ran from 1960-1972 and in reruns until probably 1984 (and, then again on TV Land).

"The two films I did with Billy Wilder, Double Indemnity and The Apartment, were the only two parts I did that required any acting."

I guess if it's not too late, those of you living in Athens, Ga., can take dad out for a burrito at The Taco Stand on E. Broad Street, but if you tell them I sent you, they'll have no idea what you're talking about (especially since I don't actually live there!).
