"Robert Aldrich, God knows it was a delight to work for him in 'The Big Knife' (1955). He’s not only a fine technician, but he certainly knows the actor. He digs down into your role and pulls things out you weren’t aware were there."
--- Ida Lupino
Life Is Beautiful (1997)
"Some people think, this [Holocaust] can never be treated as a comedy, it is such a total tragedy, but this is not necessarily true. I do feel that sometimes only comedians can reach the peaks of a tragedy."
-Robert Benigni
