Some Like It Hot (1959) dir. Billy Wilder

“Lost. She was always lost. Her ambition could allow her to achieve, but then she would sit with her prize in her lap and not know what to do with it, so she would toss it aside and look for a new goal, a new lover, a new book or teacher who would change her life and her mind and her focus. Sometimes you pull the refrigerator out and you find all these toys that your cat has secreted there or pushed there, and they lie in the dust, a little shine still left. It’s sort of how she lived her life, and sort of how I loved mine for a time. Lost and running.”–Marlon Brando/Interview with James Grissom/1990/Photo by Inge Morath, shot during production of John Huston’s THE MISFITS, 1960.
