The Great Ziegfeld (1936) Poster

David Burns: Clarence

Quotes 

  • Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. : [Scolding the wardrobe man for having dressed Miss Brice in an inappropriately showy costume]  How do you expect Miss Brice to sing a sad song about her man, dressed up like a nightingale? I find personalities, and you try to destroy them. I didn't engage Miss Brice as a showgirl.

    Clarence : [after having altered Miss Brice's costume to the bare minimum]  Is that all right, Mr. Ziegfeld?

    Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. : Well, it's all right for now. Tomorrow, get her another outfit. And don't make it, buy it. Go to a second-hand store and get her an old dress. She's supposed to be a, an apache, a poor French girl, an urchin!

    Clarence : [meekly]  Yes, sir.

    Fanny Brice : [looking disappointed]  So, to work for Mr. Ziegfeld, I gotta' be an urchin. Even in burlesque I was middle class.
