Harry Lime: "Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, 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. So long Holly."

I really wanted this to be a life-changing movie for me. I love noir and I really enjoyed the Graham Greene novel but in the end it was simply a very good film. I think the main issue was Joseph Cotten's flat performance. I didn't realize it was bothering me until Welles appeared onscreen and blew me away. Everything that could be said about the incredible cinematography has already been said by writers better than myself.

It's definitely a good movie but not my type. Orson Welles is very good in it. I liked the closing shot very much and some dialogues were perfect but these are not enough. I didn't like any character except Welles' character. That never stopping music was annoying for me. I don't think the story was bad but it's still an average one for me. I understand why this movie is a classic and many people love it, though.
