Everyone who is close to me knows I’ve been in love with Barbara Stanwyck since I’ve met her. She’s a delicious woman. We’ve never had an affair. She’s never encouraged me, but dammit, my wife will verify it, my daughters and son will confirm it, and now you all can testify to the truth. Stanwyck can act the hell out of any part, and she can turn a chore into a challenge. She’s fun and I am glad I got the chance to make three movies with her. The Lady Eve was the best.

Keybook still Henry Fonda from The Lady Eve (Paramount, 1941)

I just watched Fonda on Fonda (TV, 1992), a documentary narrated by Jane Fonda.  It aired on TCM and is well-worth an hour of your time if you get a chance to view it.

Top 5 Fonda Films | Young Mr. Lincoln (1939)

Trouble is, when men start takin’ the law into their own hands… they’re just apt, in all confusion and fun to start hangin’ somebody who’s not a murderer as somebody who is. Then the next thing you know, they’re hangin’ one another just for fun till it gets to the place a man can’t pass a tree or look at a rope without feelin’ uneasy. We seem to lose our heads in times like this. We do things together that we’d be mighty ashamed to do by ourselves. For instance, you take Jeremiah Carter yonder. Theres not a finer, more decent God-fearing man in Springfield than Jeremiah Carter. And i wouldn’t be surprised if, when he goes home he takes down a certain book and looks into it. Maybe he’ll just happen to hit on these words- “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.”
