New from Warner Archive: Goes Psycho in Night Must Fall (1964)
By KC on Nov 17, 2014 From Classic MoviesComing as it did after 's lively turn in Tom Jones (1963), it's not shocking that the actor's darker role in the bleak Night Must Fall (1964) did not make a big splash upon its original release.

Albert Finney Quotes:
Sophie Western: Why, Honor! I do believe you're in love with him!
Honor: I assure you, ma'am, I'm not.
Sophie Western: If you were, I see no reason that you should be ashamed of it... for he certainly is a handsome fellow.
Honor: That he is. The most handsome man I ever saw in my life. And as you say, ma'am, I don't know why I should be ashamed of looking at him, even though he is my better. For gentle folk are but flesh and blood like other persons. I am an honest person's child, and my mother and father were married, which is more than some people can say as high as they hold their heads.
Sophie Western: [Shocked at her comments] Honor!
Honor: [while Honor continues talking, Tom Jones shows signs of awakening from his feigned sleep] My grandfather was a clergyman and he would have been very angry to have thought any of his family had taken up with Molly Seagrim's leavings... Why, ma'am, the young gentleman is awake.
Sophie Western: Yes, you've awakened him with your foolish chatter.
Tom Jones: I feel awake for the first time ever.
Bert: Did you get anywhere?
Arthur Seaton: No, you?
Bert: Nah, that Betty's barmy, she wouldn't le me get near her. Tell you, you've got to marry them these days before you get 'owt.
Arthur Seaton: Not if they're already married.
Arthur Seaton: Nine hundred and fifty four, nine hundred and fifty bloody five. Another four more and that's the lot for a Friday.
