Another moment in "The Third Man" is when Holly Martins is being driven to the airport and they stop off at the hospital and he is confronted by the true horrors of what Harry Lime has done. I call it "Peak Harry Lime". Even though Martins has seen all the evidence against Lime , it is only when he is confronted with the seriously harmed and damaged children that he decides to help. A bit like Andrew Neil.
Another one of my favourite films is "The Big Country". Great music, classic scenes. Too many to mention. My favourite quote from the film is Gregory Peck replying to his fiancé when she confronts him about his supposed "cowardly" behaviour and he says "i'm not responsible for what other people think, only for what I am.".
Never seen it! Dusty, you are in for a treat with great actors Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, Charlton Heston. Burl Ives won an Oscar for best supporting actor. It's a long film so get the drinks and popcorn in. The score is brilliant.

Hi Barri
Haha I like the analogy and it is true that it takes Holly Martins a long time to grasp it.
The ferris wheel scene is a classic.
However we need to welcome Mr Neil even though he is very late to the party! And Richard Dawkins!
Dusty
Totally agree.

Thank you very much, Barri
As a film buff I am looking forward to it already :)

I keep thinking I can’t be shocked anymore. I should know better by now.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is so disgusting!!
Thanks TT, that is going in tonight's post!
Dusty
I know, the horrors keep piling up and yet millions of people seem unaware of what’s going on. Hope you weren’t eating!
Luckily not! I was just beginning typing the next post.
Now where was I...Jordan Peterson and Helen Joyce...
