Message: [QUOTE="chj001, post: 2356089, member: 8206"] Also my favorite movie of all time. Here's another quote: Paul Hoerbiger (as the porter) in broken English with a heavy German accent: "Now he's in hell (pointing up) . . . or in heaven (pointing down)." Has the greatest movie entrance of all time (if you don't count the fact that Harry Lime is seen earlier from a great distance on the bridge with the other conspirators). . . at night a light is turned on illuminating Orson Welles' face standing in a doorway. (Second place goes to the Duke in Stagecoach.) Interestingly, that entrance of the title character doesn't take place until 2/3 of the way thru the movie. (At least that's quicker than the entrance of the title character in "Rebecca".) Also has the greatest ending of all time . . . that delicious minute or two fadeout with Alida Valli walking down the tree lined street with the leaves falling. Also has one of the greatest scores of all time. Love the zither . . .and the images of a bombed-out post-WWII Vienna. I had the great pleasure of riding the Riesenrad (the famous Ferris wheel) in Prater Park in 1998. Just me and my girlfriend in the huge railroad-sized car looking down at all those "dots." [/QUOTE]
