Think you know your funny film quotes? To celebrate the release of Hollywood Wit, Aubrey Malone’s latest book—a wildly entertaining anthology packed with the sharpest quips, the deepest digs, and the most outrageous one-liners from the silver screen’s finest—we’re giving you the chance to win your own copy.
This alphabetical treasure trove of Hollywood hilarity covers everything from aardvarks to youth (and yes, even albino rats). Whether it’s a director throwing shade or an actor accidentally putting their foot in their mouth, Hollywood Wit is proof that the film industry doesn’t always take itself too seriously.

About Hollywood Wit
Tom Hanks once said he couldn’t give a speech to save his life. Bereft of the fed line, his confidence crumbled. As against that, the effusions in the book you’re now holding manifest a natural wit in most of the speakers. Indeed, if the lines in most of their films were half as good, they might have had even more thriving careers. One is reminded of Sydney Chaplin’s comment on The Countess From Hong Kong, ‘The film was dire but we had a great wrap party. Someone said we should dump the movie and release the party.”
