The Third Man
Orson Welles is an excellent artist, but you might not know how much improvisation he does. In The Third Man, he came up with this unforgettable line: “In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed. They produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace. And what did they produce? The cuckoo clock.”
