Fredric Quotes


"Fredric March had the reputation of being a ladies man. We made two pictures together, Merrily We Go to Hell (1932) and Good Dame (1934). But he never laid a hand on me, never made a pass at me! Freddie was happily married. He`d tease me by saying, `Look at those boobs!` or `Look at that toosh!`. But it was all in fun."

- Sylvia Sidney

From the earliest days of cinema a fascination with Scottish historical themes fed the appetites of Hollywood. Macabre shockers, or what Robert Louis Stevenson called "regular crawlers", were especially popular. Not counting numerous shorts, five feature versions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) were produced in Hollywood between 1912 and 1941, though none surpassed Fredric March`s Oscar-winning performance and his menacing facial transformation in Rouben Mamoulian`s production of 1931.

- Sean Connery

(on Fredric March) "He was able to do a very emotional scene with tears in his eyes, and pinch my fanny at the same time."

- Shelley Winters
