Quotes 

• Newsreel Narrator : [during Billy's fantasy funeral]  A great and funny man dies and the world mourns. This week, as it must to all men, death came to the King of Comedy, the incomparable Billy Bright. Calvin Coolidge said it for all men when he said, "What a tragedy that he should have been plucked from us at the apex of history. Presidents and kings are expendable. But, not clowns like Billy Bright. Speaking for myself, I know it will be difficult for me to ever smile again."
