Night in Paradise (1946)

Ray Collins: Leonides

Quotes 

• King Croesus : [Busy counting his gold, as Leonides walks in]  And the shekels keep pouring in. Shekels and more shekels! Tribute from Tyre, tribute from Macedonia... I'll go down in history, Leonides, not only as the richest king in the world, but as a great magician: "The King who turned iron into gold."

  Leonides : Iron? How so, milord?

  King Croesus : Iron spears, Leonides. Rattle them loud enough, and the gold rolls in!

  [Both men burst out laughing] 

• Leonides : [to Aesop]  In my youth I had to choose between being a career man and a 'carouse' man.n
