RE: Absolutely agree ...

You know, I've been meaning to pick up a Greene novel lately, having never read one. Have you? Any thoughts?

I am in no position to say whether it is one of the best 100 or 200. I would have trouble coming up with 100 great movies, period. I don't think I've seen as many as you have. I wouldn't call my self a serious student of film.

But it certainly stands out in my mind as one of the greatest films I have ever seen.

I guess there is a case that could be made against the use of a single instrument to carry the entire score, and it does seem to stand out more in places, drawing attention to itself, that today's more "professionally done" orchestral scores. But when it works, it is achingly good, and for this sentimentalist, it is so much a part of the film's experience that I find it hard to imagine without it.
