De koekoeksklok


“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.”

Harry Lime in The Third Man, Carol Reed, 1949.

Het prentje: Orson Welles, (Harry Lime), overlegt nog even met regisseur Carol Reed. Zo meteen beginnen de opnames van de fabuleuze achtervolgingsscène door de riolen van Wenen. Wie nooit The Third Man zag: naar de videotheek, de dvd halen.
