Enter Sir John Movie Quotes

Police Inspector Say, which of the two women is this? Mrs. Trewitt?

Ted Markham [laughs] I'm afraid you're unlucky this time, Inspector. This is Handel Fane - a hundred per cent he-woman. Mr. Fane's our leading man.

Handel Fane [walking off stage in drag] I assure you, Inspector, I'm not the other woman in this case.

Prosecuting Counsel I need not remind you that in the eyes of the law, men and women are equal. The crime of murder, in England at least, is judged dispassionately. Neither beauty nor youth no provocation, can be...

Sir John Menier You're shielding this man, because you know you're in love with him.

Diana Baring Oh, but that's impossible.

Sir John Menier Impossible? Why should it be impossible? I see no reason why it should be impossible?

Diana Baring Why, the man's a half-caste!

Sir John Menier What's that? What did you say? A half-caste? Black blood?

Judge If you're convinced that the story of the Defense represents the facts of the case, it is your duty to discharge the accused. I should like to remind you that truth is often stranger than fiction. If on the other hand you're convinced that the evidence is in deed, fiction, then I must tell you in the words of the Counsel of the Prosecution, that neither youth nor beauty nor provocation can be held to mitigate the crime of murder. Go and consider the facts for yourselves.

Sir John Menier My time on the stage would be shortened, had I not for years trained myself to, how shall I put it, to apply the technique of life to the problems of my art.

Sir John Menier The girl said she didn't drink it. Yet, she admits she might have killed Edna Druce. That's queer! Why admit a big thing like that and yet be so sure that she didn't do a small thing, such as drink a drop of brandy?

Ted Markham Yes, that's him, all right. Dressed up as a woman, eh? He always was good at that.

Sir John Menier An extremely clever way of hiding.

Sir John Menier Markham, I have an idea. Do you know your Hamlet?

Ted Markham Every line of it, sir.

Sir John Menier Then let me suggest for your consideration, the series of events embodied in Act 3, Scene 2.

Ted Markham That's the play scene, isn't it?

Sir John Menier Yes - the play scene. Do you remember the title, "The Mousetrap"? Well, when he comes to my flat it will be the part I shall offer him. They'll be 3 of us: 2 cats to 1 mouse.

Ted Markham Yes, but, what about the cheese, sir?

Sir John Menier Yes, but that was not all together born out by Fane - you know, the, um, the female impersonator man.

Mrs. Ward - Juror But his evidence was of little use. He was so obviously in love with the prisoner.
