MINI BIO:
George Macready was noted as one of America's most distinctive villains -- a blond, blue-eyed death's head of a man with an aristocratic sneer on the upper lip. Macready created a whole range of polished, distinguished nasties and scoundrels, nearly all with a civilized veneer (1946, Gilda, 1964, Dead Ringer). He died from emphysema just after retirement.

George Macready Quotes:
Pelham Vetch:
Draw that bow, and we fire.
Morgan Vallin: In either case, I'm as good as dead. But this arrow will take one of you with me. I'm just considering which one.
Pelham Vetch: Do not be foolish. You may kill one of us, but not both of us. I'm not bluffing, Vallin, and you cannot distract me with those glances behind me.
Morgan Vallin: Would it be possible that you are underestimating me?
Jafar: Your keen perceptions humble me.
Morgan Vallin: We go in for the continental style here, Johnny. Help yourself.
Johnny Allegro: Lobster for breakfast?
Morgan Vallin: Had I known you were coming, I'd have arranged for coffee and donuts.
Johnny Allegro: It's good enough for me.
Morgan Vallin: How do you like our island? You were exploring it this morning. Or in your vernacular, casing the joint.
Johnny Allegro: I took a walk around. I'd have a tough time finding it, even if I knew where it was.
Morgan Vallin: Did you discover anything when you searched their boat?
Johnny Allegro: Yeah. I'm being watched.
Morgan Vallin: [Vallin tries to hide a grin] Well, I discovered that what Glenda says is true. You are Johnny Rock, there is a sentence hanging over you, and you shot a detective. The story's in all the papers.
Johnny Allegro: Well, does that satisfy you?
Morgan Vallin: We'll know better this afternoon.
Johnny Allegro: What happens this afternoon?
Morgan Vallin: We don't allow our guests to become bored, Johnny. And since Florida isn't too far, we're going to the races.
