Screenwriter Ernest Lehman had died. Lehman penned some of the greatest films, including Executive Suite, Sabrina, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Portnoy’s Complaint, The King and I, West Side Story, The Sound of Music, and North by Northwest, which has one of my favorite ever exchanges of dialogue in it:
Roger: How does a girl like you get to be a girl like you?
Eve: Lucky, I guess.
Roger: Lucky? More like naughty. You’re the kind of girl who can harass a man to death without half trying. So stop trying.
That happened to be Lehman's favorite bit that he wrote for that film, too.
