![Tay Garnett, the director of [John Wayne and Marlene Dietrich’s] first film together, described vividly how they met:
“Marlene had the choice of all her leading men. I decided not to mention Wayne, but simply to place him in the Universal commissary where she couldn’t miss him. He stood between us and our tables as we walked in…
Dietrich swept past him, then swiveled and looked him up and down as though he were a prime rib at Chasen’s.
As we sat down, she whispered in my ear, ‘Daddy, buy me that!’”
