    • Quotes

      Dita: Poor Paul. He was so kind! How could it happen?

      Joe January: [Cynically] It happens...

      Dita: But to him? He believed in God!

      Joe January: I can't recite any Psalms for ya', but I know about people who believe in God. Our friend didn't! He put his faith in his father. A man! A human being! That's an easy faith to lose. I know about that, too.

      Dita: But he was a good man. He tried to do good. He dreamed of goodness all his life.

      Joe January: I'm gettin' a little sick of this "Poor Paul," "Kind man," "Full of grace." What does it take to wake you up? He didn't believe in anything but being a big-shot with God as a front. I've seen these do-gooders before - usually doin' the most good for themSELVES! Believing in God is different than drooling over rubies and emeralds.

    rosanno brazzi was an ass
    I can;t believe any man that says his face is prettier than any woman, quote from brazzi.... and here he is with sophia loren, one of the world's beauties ... brazzi is ineffectual in stirring loren to fever pitch but watne really gets her juices flowing and she comes alive when she realizes that only joe can get her home
