Daily Dialogue — October 27, 2017

“I didn’t have no headache. She had one. I didn’t.”

— The Three Faces of Eve (1957), screenplay by Nunnally Johnson, book by Corbett H. Thigpen M.D. and Hervey M. Cleckley

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Therapy, suggested by Gisela Wehrl.

Trivia: Orson Welles was courted for the part of Dr. Luther, played in the movie by Lee J. Cobb, but opted instead to direct Touch of Evil (1958). Welles even read the script and told director Nunnally Johnson that whoever played the lead would win the Oscar (Joanne Woodward did, in fact, win the Oscar).

Dialogue On Dialogue: This is the first line from Eve Black, one of three personalities manifested by Eve White in her therapy sessions.
