Today's review on MyOldAddiction.com, The Joker Is Wild by #CharlesVidor starring #FrankSinatra and #MitziGaynor, "glamorous and indulgent but never cheap or ridiculous melodrama"

"I'm not a stooge, I'm the best straight woman in Hollywood. There's an art to playing it straight. You must build up your man, but never top him, never steal the laughs from him." - Margaret Dumont, born October 20, 1882. #MargaretDumont

"Filming is absolutely horrible. I call it 'tedious formality'. I hate shooting. My only relief in the whole tiresome business are the wonderful moments when I'm directing actors." - Jean-Pierre Melville, born October 20, 1917. #JeanPierreMelville

"Dracula never ends. I don't know if I should call it a fortune or a curse, but it never ends." - Bela Lugosi, born October 20, 1882. #BelaLugosi
