I continue to be engrossed each time I settle in and watch that film. There may be a slight corny part about Holly Martins writing short western novels but I'm old enough to remember when they were very popular.

But that zither music, odd camera angles, suspense and...those lines ...

Harry Lime: "In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
