Martin Rackin(1918-1976)

Marty said his godfather was Damon Runyon, and his personal speech made that claim believable. He could speak in non-stop profanities in such a way that not only weren't listeners offended, but were doubled up in laughter.

[on Ann Blyth in Quando l'amore è romanzo (1957)] There are some actresses in this town who can roll in the gutter and it won't move you. They look at home there. But when you put a good girl like Ann in the gutter, it tears your heart out.
