Classic Quotes, Comedy Films (for now) Options

[Faraaj73]

Add your favourite film noir quotes here. Once we've exhausted the noir genre, I'll change the Topic Description to something else - probably comedy. A good place to start a discussion on noir is Double Indemnity.

Double Indemnity (1944)
[last lines]
Walter Neff: Know why you couldn't figure this one, Keyes? I'll tell ya. 'Cause the guy you were looking for was too close. Right across the desk from ya.
Barton Keyes: Closer than that, Walter.
Walter Neff: I love you, too.

Kind of reminds me of another classic noir's closing:
[last lines]
Rick: Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship

Faraaj,

Yes, I have seen the redux and it indeed fills up the puzzling references in the earlier version. Not only that, watching the earlier version in the theaters with Brando mumbling his lines made the earlier release quite difficult to understand and besides that I benefited a great from getting a handle on the cultural references much later. When I first saw it, the bold outline of the film, the intelligent adaptation etc. were fascinating enough. The film, as is typical of most complex films, gives a great deal more on repeat viewings.

Now I have to see the documentary. Had thought I would watch it later, which ofc never happens.
