# Quote — John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces

> "A new film featuring my favorite female star, whose recent circus musical excess stunned and overwhelmed me, is opening shortly at one of the downtown movie palaces. I must somehow get to see it. Only my wagon stands in the way. Her new film is billed as a 'sophisticated' comedy in which she must certainly reach new heights of perversion and blasphemy."
