  can't recalled any movie with that style. Surely, among my top five
  favorite films of all times.

    It's true ... very memorable direction, and no shot more memorable than the final one, in which the girl, Vali, walks past Joseph Cotton down the road into the frame's central vanishing point, the road lined with trees losing their leaves in the breeze after the funeral. He stands frozen as she passes, and the autumnal scene following the funeral evokes the passing of time, the passing of opportunity, and the imminence of mortality. It's a stunner. But then, there are many such gems in the film, and I'm sure many of you have your own favorites.

  Still one of the all-time greats. Can never forget the fingers of Welles, reaching through the sewer grill at the end, tasting, as it were, a freedom, a world, that he would never see again. It is a great irony that his friend, the man who came to save him, delivers the quietus. And one forever wonders if it just may have been the girl that tipped the scales again enigmatic Mr. Lime. Some may mistake it for a creaky old black and white film from a different era, but it's gripping and timeless.

    Yes the sad story between men friendship and the law of moral.
    And its issue.
