Trivia

According to his autobiography, Klaus Kinski went in to audition for an unspecified part for Roberto Rossellini when he came to Berlin. He claims that after hours of waiting while Rossellini was on the phone with Anna Magnani in another room, Kinski characteristically burst out in anger and cursed Rossellini. The Italian director was reputedly heard saying as Kinski was storming out: "Chi è quello? Mi interessa! Fategli un provino!" (Translation: "Who is he? Interesting! Arrange for a screen test!")

Quotes

Herr Rademaker: Tell me the truth. What did you do with the money?
Edmund: What money?
Herr Rademaker: The money for the scale. Did you give it to your father?
Edmund: I swear that's not true.
Herr Rademaker: You're not going to cheat me, boy. I know you'll do anything for money. You got into my house ...
Edmund: The housing superintendent sent us here.
Herr Rademaker: Yes, and I have to put up with it. Your father is a pain, always complaining. Why doesn't he die and give us some peace?
