His Kind of Woman Quotes:

Myron Winton: [after he and the other guests have viewed one of Mark Cardigan's films] Yes sir, I agree with those folks: that was one of the finest movies I've ever seen. They oughta' make 'em ALL like that. None of this nonsense about social matters. People don't go to the movies to see how miserable the world is - they go there to eat popcorn and be happy!

Martin Krafft: [Dourly] It had a message no pigeon would carry.

Dan Milner: I'll see ya all of a sudden, Sam.

Jose Morro: She is beautiful as well as interesting, isn't she?

Dan Milner: She likes you.

Dan Milner: If she liked me, man, I wouldn't try to understand.

Mark Cardigan: This place is dangerous. The time right deadly. The drinks are on me, my bucko!
