W.C.Fields made a film of this name in 1943 and said the line as an ad-lib in a stage production of the musical Poppy in 1923. It appears this was more than just a dramatic line as it expressed Fields' true sentiments. As well as being a comic actor he was a successful and reportedly ruthless businessman.
Eric Partridge, in his Dictionary of Catch Phrases, says the quotation is "more credibly attributed to a remark made by Edward Francis Albee (1857-1930)".
