Daily Dialogue — May 27, 2020

“My friend? Would you like me to show you how to eat that properly, so you don’t waste any?”

— Houseboat (1958), written by Melville Shavelson

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Pizza. Today’s suggestion by Carmen Radtke.

Trivia: Original screenplay was written by Betsy Drake, Cary Grant’s wife. Grant originally wanted it to star her but his extra-marital affair with Sophia Loren complicated the project. The script was drastically re-written by two other writers to accommodate Loren and bears little resemblance to Drake’s concept.

Dialogue On Dialogue: A fun bit of business involving Sophia, a child actor, and pizza.
