More than you ever wanted to know about that great classic post-WW2 film -


Why are there so many scenes showing only Harry Lime's shadow on the walls? Orson Welles didn't arrive in Vienna on time, so the film's assistant director put on the character's hat and long coat and his shadow silhouette filled in.
