I’m watching The Man Who Knew Too Much (great flick, great freakin’ flick) which I have never seen before — either version. The scene where they arrive at the Albert Hall, the big bill is of course Bernard Hermann (who wrote the wonderful music for the movie) conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.
Then there’s a long scene of just the orchestra playing… twelve minutes of no dialogue! Just shots of the various characters involved in the plot and the orchestra (with Bernard Hermann conducting, natürlich) and the soloist and (huge) choir. No dialogue.
And one of the best ending lines of any movie.
And that line is…..?
12 minutes of orchestra playing with no dialogue? Were there at least explosions?? Gratuitous nudity?? Pictures of furry kitte…I mean, cutaways to sports highlights??
And I think the line in question was “thus endeth the 12 minute orchestra bit with no dialogue”.
No explosions, but some gunfire and a guy falling from the balcony.
And I can’t just give away the last line. You have to see the movie. It wouldn’t make sense out of context.
It was basically, “Sorry I’m late; I had to go pick up my kid.” See, doesn’t make any sense. But it’s a great line.
oh, it makes sense to me. i agree – great movie. i haven’t seen the whole thing in awhile, but definitely a great movie.
