The Millionaire1955
Michael Anthony:
[Anthony enters the Tipton study, where he finds Tipton seated in a high backed chair reading a book] You sent for me, sir?
John Beresford Tipton:
Mike, I've been reading one of the modern poets. Wonderful - listen to this: [Tipton reads from the book] "The quality of mercy is not strained."
Michael Anthony:
Modern poetry? But that's Shakespeare.
John Beresford Tipton:
[Chuckles] Yes, Mike. But he's so modern, we still haven't caught up to him. [Anthony smiles] Yet in the sixteenth century, he wrote about a woman lawyer ending up in court - an equal to the men around her.
Michael Anthony:
Portia, the most famous woman lawyer of all time.
John Beresford Tipton:
It's still a novelty in today's courts to see a woman standing up in court and arguing her defendant's case. Yes, Shakespeare was ahead of the times when he wrote this. He still is. [Tipton hands over envelope to Anthony] Our next millionaire, Mike. [Anthony bows and departs]
