Daily Dialogue — October 11, 2013

Louis Bernard: [dying] A man… a statesman… is to be killed… assassinated in London. Soon… very soon. Tell them in London… tell them to try Ambrose Chapel…

— The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), screenplay by John Michael Hayes, story by Charles Bennett and D.B. Wyndham-Lewis

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is assassination suggested by Aarthi Ramanathan.

Trivia: The Albert Hall sequence lasts 12 minutes without a single word of dialogue and consists of 124 shots.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Hitchcock’s use of music as a plot device is well known, but perhaps never more than in this movie…. and with no dialogue in the climatic scene to boot.
