Hollywood characters are supposed to have all the adventures for everybody in America, while everybody in America sits in a dark room and watches them have them! Yes, until there's a war. That's when adventure becomes available to the masses! Everyone's dish, not only Gable's!

I don't want to wait till then. I'm tired of the movies and I am about to move! "
― Tennessee Williams , The Glass Menagerie
