I just watched _The Third Man_ in full for the first time

Truly delightful character, responsible for one of the most clever tricks in cinema.

no! a major? did you really?

_I like a good Western. That’s what I like about them, sir. You can pick them up and put them down anytime._

iirc there is a cut and change of location between the two halves of this line, implying payne has been enthusing cheerfully about westerns for an entire jeep ride

Mr. Crabbin?

Once when I was hard up I sold some tyres on the black market.

Even at the end his thoughts were of you.

What's the use of another post-mortem?

On, pinning things on girls now!

Hilda!
Ja?
Führen Sie den Herrn herein!

some ice for mr. martins!

Am I wrong in thinking that for some movies, excessive quoting drains the life from them, but not this one?

By some I mean most.

I watched this with my 12 yo and we got to the last scene where the leaves are falling and Anna walks by Holly without acknowledging him and I started laughing…my kid looked at me strangely and I told him he’d understand when he’s older

you found out my little secret. a man must live.

Damn that scene is so sad!!!!

sometimes he said i laughed too much

I had my eye on this thread when thinking about watching this tomorrow.

Holly Martins: the dunciest dunce who ever dunced

Great write up above Alfred.

Long goodbye really ripped this off didn't it? Uber-righteous friend tries to help out pal who ends up just wanting to screw him over; complicated love-interest involved

Thank you!

No need to worry about spoilers for a movie more than 20 years old; that's my rule in class at any rate.

Ah but there's still bums like me around who benefit from them, not that I hold it against anyone with a differing philosophy

H.P., that's interesting! The final shot of Long Goodbye is very similar as well, to the point where it seems like it has to be an intentional homage or at least a wink for those in the know.
