that's one of my favourite films of all time. I love femme fatales.

"Barbara Stanwyck was the first choice to play Phyllis, but she was unnerved when seeing the role was of a ruthless killer. When she expressed her concern to Billy Wilder, he asked her, "Are you a mouse or an actress?""


Hahaha. Just burned my tongue choking on coffee reading that. Well played, Billy Wilder. Well played. I will high-five the next person I hear say that in person.
