years ago the wife and I went to the Ritz in downtown Philadelphia to see the release of the 50th annaversary edition (all cleaned-up and restored prints).I was pretty bummed when we were lead into a screening room that was small by airline standards. There were perhaps thirty people in the room.
This film is so full of classic lines, lines you have heard over and over and over...that a few minutes into the film some of us were mouthing the words along with the actors. Before long, some of us were saying the most famous lines out loud. It was big fun. It was a sophisticated movie-loving crowd--nobody interfered with the mood or flow of the story. We kept a respectful silence in the most dramatic moments, but just couldn't hold back at scenes like: "I'm Shocked!..." or "What watch? Ten watch. Such watch?" ...or "Round up the usual suspects."
More than a cult classic, this "B" movie has become cultural bedrock.
Memorizing the script is practically a requirement for US citizenship.
