Milligan: I looked that innocent I might have been a martyred saint.
[cries in pain]
Molly: The way you're looking now I suppose! What's the matter with?
Milligan: It's my dyspepsia again.
Molly: Well, stop eating those cakes!
Milligan: Well, when I see them, I want them. And if I don't eat them I'm empty. And if I'm empty I get my dyspepsia. So I might as well eat them all the same.

Featured review
Say It with Bullets
An early directing credit for David MacDonald is this slick Paramount-British quickie featuring the usual imported Americans (Kenneth later 'Kenne' Duncan, Sara Seagar) and youthful familiar faces (Greta Gynt, Mervyn Johns), but dominated by Campbell Gullan hamming it up as actor-manager Sir Alan Masterville.
Gullan, who died in 1939 aged only 58, is remembered today by most film researchers solely as the name of the director of Michael Powell's first script ('Caste'). Referred to affectionately by Powell in his memoirs as "Gullie", he was according to Powell, "an enchanting old pro with a lifetime of experience on the stage and an infallible ear for a line", all of which are amply in evidence in this valuable record of him in full flight.
