MINI BIO:
George Macready was noted as one of America's most distinctive villains -- a blond, blue-eyed death's head of a man with an aristocratic sneer on the upper lip. Macready created a whole range of polished, distinguished nasties and scoundrels, nearly all with a civilized veneer (1946, Gilda, 1964, Dead Ringer). He died from emphysema just after retirement.

Marshal Sam Hughes:
Remember, we, the law, will beat them because right is on our side - and that makes a big difference.
Bruno Sauer: Come in. You want to see me? What can I do for you?
[Sauer is at the mirror, shaving with a straight razor]
Paul Roeder: I bring you the regards of a mutual friend. I wonder if you still remember him. He was with you once on a canoeing excursion.
[Sauer pauses and looks frightened, then continues shaving]
Bruno Sauer: I'm afraid I don't understand. Whose regards are you bringing me?
Paul Roeder: It was more than three years ago. You said to him that if there was ever something big he wanted done, he could count on you.
Bruno Sauer: I still don't understand at all. I think you must have the wrong address. You'll have to excuse me. I'm afraid your friend put you in touch with the wrong man. I happen to be in a great hurry just now. Hedy! Will you show this man the door, Hedy?
[He continues shaving, but he cuts himself]
Gordon Harris: Dani stabbed him in the stomach with one of her mother's sculpting chisels. He lived about three minutes. Painfully.
