Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen listing what has happened to him since meeting Sue Ann on Monday, Dennis says, "Wednesday, I was unfaithful", a remark he immediately dismisses as a fantasy by saying "that was in another country"--a reference to famous lines in Christopher Marlowe's play "The Jew Of Malta" ("But that was in another country/And besides, the wench is dead"). However, Lorenzo Semple Jr.'s screenplay did originally contain a sequence in which Dennis is seduced by his much-older landlady Mrs. Bronson; it was omitted from the film.
- GoofsSue Ann's blue Sunbeam convertible appears in the background in the cemetery scene, but she isn't driving it.
- Quotes
Dennis Pitt: [Meeting with Mr. Azenauer in the prison] There was some poison once, but no one recognized it. In fact, that poison was even quite... pretty-looking. So, the problem was, what to do about it? It took me some time to realize that what to do about it was very simple: nothing.
Morton Azenauer: Nothing?
Dennis Pitt: Correct, Mr. Azenauer, because who'd listen to me - known to be no good? But if that poison just stayed there, getting worse and worse, like poison always does - spreading, until even the blindest man could see, until he HAD to see...
Morton Azenauer: Go on...
Dennis Pitt: [Hesitating] Sorry... I've learned that people only pay attention to what they discover for themselves. So long...
Dennis Pitt: [Getting up] If you're ever in Winslow, see what Sue Ann is up to, will you?
Morton Azenauer: I'll keep an eye on her, Dennis.
Dennis Pitt: So long.
[Leaves the room, with Mr. Azenauer looking rather perplexed]
