The Queen Dowager Quotes in The Prince and the Showgirl (1957)

The Queen Dowager: Sweetly pretty. She should use more mascara. When one is young, one should use a lot of mascara. When one is older, one should use much more.

The Queen Dowager: Mr. Northbrook, who was that creature? Was it an anarchist?

Northbrook: No, ma'am!

The Queen Dowager: Then who was it?

Northbrook: A young lady, ma'am, called Miss Elsie Marina.

The Queen Dowager: [pause] Ah. Fetch her to me.

The Queen Dowager: Most impressive. And the soldiers facing the procession too. Such a change from the last coronation I attended, the Vas Arabies'. Guns going off like kettle drums and infernal machines and the sky black with smoke. Happily, no fatalities. Except in the crowd. But it all left a very bad impression.
