(02/05/1996, Godfrey Cheshire): "High-spirited and infectiously energetic, Al Pacino's LOOKING FOR RICHARD is a master class in Shakespeare and acting conducted by an uncommonly passionate and delightful teacher..." |

Quotes from the Movie
|
| : |
"An English teacher brought us to a local production of 'King Lear' and after ten minutes of people doing 'Shakespearean acting,' I tuned out and started making out with my girlfriend in the back row. We left at intermission." -- KEVIN KLINE, in an interview within the film "We're getting forty dollars a day and all the donuts we can eat." -- ALEC BALDWIN, in an interview within the film "I'm confused just explaining it, so I can imagine how you must feel hearing me. It's very confusing and I don't know why we're even doing this at all." -- AL PACINO to his producer (MICHAEL HADGE) during production of the film "We're never going to finish making this movie. I don't even get Richard III..." -- MICHAEL HADGE, producer of the film "Is this it? Are we done? I'm not going to tell him about the other ten rolls of film." -- MICHAEL HADGE (producer of the film) to JAMES BULLEIT (line producer of the film) |
