Mark Langer's fascinating reply to the question about the girl and the
gun really makes me want to ask this question:
WHEN WE ARE FACED WITH A QUESTION like, "Who said this: 'All I need to
make a movie is a girl and a gun'?," HOW do we go about trying to frame
an answer. We've heard Jean-Luc Godard, Abraham Zapruder, Howard Hawks.
But not Nicole Garcia, Jane Campion, Alfred Hitchcock, Anthony Mann.
If I asked *this* question, I wonder what kinds of speculations would
come about---note please: this is all about speculation, since presumably
we don't *know* the answer:---- "Who said this: 'All you can say about
movies could be written on the back of a band-aid.'"
