Michael Rennie Quotes:

Demetrius: We traveled here together from Galilee, persuading people to give up their lives for a beautiful dream.
[he attempts to hand a goblet of wine to Peter]
Demetrius: Take it Peter. It's real... hot spiced, with cinnamon and cloves.
[chuckles and looks towards Messalina]
Demetrius: Did you know that Jesus could turn water into wine? And that was only one of his tricks.
Peter: Yes, only one. Anything that was base, He could make noble. He found a leper and made him clean. He found death and He made life. He found you a slave, and He made you free.
Demetrius: Get out!
Peter: And now you've won a great victory over Him, haven't you tribune ? You've made yourself a slave again.


Klaatu: We have come to visit you in peace and with goodwill.


King Edward: Tell me, when you refuse me your loyalty because I am a Norman, have you not considered that I have no choice in the same matter - that I must be king for Norman and Saxon alike whether I like it or not. Do you, Saxon, not owe something besides hatred to the same cause?

Michael Rennie Facts
Once married to British actress Maggie McGrath, who later went by the stage name of Maggie Rennie. They had one son, David, born 1953.

His son David Rennie, is now a UK High Court judge on the Lewes, Sussex circuit.

A heavy smoker, Rennie had respiratory problems for many years. During the run of the Broadway comedy "Mary, Mary" in the early 60s, Rennie had to visit the hospital several times; this didn't prevent him from being hired to replay his role in the film version, Mary, Mary (1963). His voice was dubbed in the movie The Battle of El Alamein (1969) ("The Battle of El Alamein") due to his chronic health problems. Similarly, his own voice is not heard on the English-language dialogue track of his final film, Assignment Terror (1970) ("Assignment Terror").
