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:
Gaston de Montrevel:
Someday I hope to meet the thieves under more favorable circumstances. I shall teach the swine!
Harry Wharton: I'm not going to hang? I'm not going to hang. Why, I've been hanged 100 times already. I'm a dead man, one of the living dead. Every time somebody marched down those stairs, I marched with him. I've hanged so many men on the gallows, the rope no longer chokes me.
[laughs]
Harry Wharton: That's funny, isn't it?
Prison Warden: Let's go down to my office, Harry.
Harry Wharton: Just a minute, Warden. Did you know that everything in these cells is done by twelves? There are 12 bars from the ceiling to the floor. It's exactly 12 steps around the inside of this. The guard takes just 12 steps from the stairs to here. Everything, everywhere, in twelves!
[laughs]
Harry Wharton: Like a jury! Twelve! Twelve! Twelve!
[laughs uncontrollably]
Bruno Sauer: Come in. You want to see me? What can I do for you?
[Sauer is at the mirror, shaving with a straight razor]
Paul Roeder: I bring you the regards of a mutual friend. I wonder if you still remember him. He was with you once on a canoeing excursion.
[Sauer pauses and looks frightened, then continues shaving]
Bruno Sauer: I'm afraid I don't understand. Whose regards are you bringing me?
Paul Roeder: It was more than three years ago. You said to him that if there was ever something big he wanted done, he could count on you.
Bruno Sauer: I still don't understand at all. I think you must have the wrong address. You'll have to excuse me. I'm afraid your friend put you in touch with the wrong man. I happen to be in a great hurry just now. Hedy! Will you show this man the door, Hedy?
[He continues shaving, but he cuts himself]
