is the ridiculously tragic final scene. I can't think of another film with such an emotional denouement.
(I can, actually. Etre Et Avoir, for the final look on the teacher's face.)

Just saying.

I like where this thread ended up.
So anyway I got the two disc edition for Xmas and I just rewatched the movie for the first time since, well, since I started this thread. There was something that grabbed me in the first few minutes this time through that I don't think I'd mentioned on here yet but now it's slipped my mind...it'll come back. I think.

the Criterion set reports in a couple places (Soderbergh-Gilroy commentary) that Reed was able to shoot round-the-clock cuz of Benzedrine.

Seems kinda petty if not downright weird, but I lost some of my love for this movie after learning that Welles refused to go into the sewers (except for a little).

This is the only current serious candidate for the position of 'my favourite film ever'.

yes, Welles was quite the diva.
