You talk about the people as though you own them...When your precious underprivileged really get together-oh boy-thats going to add up to something bigger than your privileges...You just want to persuade people that you love them so much that they ought to love you back only you want love on your own terms...toast Jedediah to love on my terms thats the only terms anybody ever knows...

[Emancipation4Jake]

who's narrative is this?

[m340830]

Jed's (Joseph Cotten) narrative.

[GOPSpinMachineInOD]

One of the best scenes in the movie. They dug holes in the studio floor to get the low camera angles.

[wkbfutewc]

Joseph Cotton did an adlib on this scene when he fluffed his lines and said "I really am drunk" (not in the script) and Wells chuckled but they kept rolling. Cotton was jet lagged and really tired.

@wkbfutewc I was thinking something same at first point. I couldn't believe it was supposed to be like that.

I laughed a lot during this slip-up.

@UFOSPACE1999

for a start: "The Lodger" (1931 I think..) that had a nice shot of a cieling where you people are looking up at the sound of footsteps on the next floor,

there, in seconds, iv proven YOU wrong.... "douchebag"

[UFOSPACE1999]

@1999UTD THEN list the films..BUT before you go any further DICKWEED...go check your facts...CITIZEN KANE is the first film to show a ceiling. IT IS in the history books...LISTING THAT FACT!!!! NOW...DOUCHE BAG...please list those films...U say you seen. PROVE ME and the HISTORY BOOKS ALL WRONG...ASSHOLE.

@UFOSPACE1999

because thats stupid. iv seen plenty of 10's - 30's films with cielings in them,

your probably getting confused with "citizen kane is the first film to show camera angles which look upward towards the cieling"

that is probably a arguable point

[UFOSPACE1999]

@1999UTD THIS IS the first film to show a ceiling...PROVE ME WRONG...BESIDES SAYING WRONG SHIT HEAD

[1999UTD]

@UFOSPACE1999

wrong

[UFOSPACE1999]

First film to show a ceiling.

i wonder if "you're not very drunk" was orson welles breaking character to direct the actor in the scene, only his response was so well that they went with it and it was a great take.
