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:
Arthur Seaton: I thought I'd come and see you, I'm a bit worried about something.
Aunt Ada: Why, what would a good-looking chap like you have to worry about?
Arthur Seaton: It's not that I'm worried Aunt Ada, I never worry - you know that. But it's this mate of mine at work, he's got this woman in trouble and he don't know what to do about it.
Aunt Ada: That's a daft thing to do, couldn't he have been a bit more careful? Well he'll just have to face the music like our Dave did.
Arthur Seaton: But isn't there something that could be done, I mean sometimes people get rid of it by taking things don't they?
Aunt Ada: What do you know about that?
Arthur Seaton: I read about it in Sunday papers.
Brenda: Somebody told me the other day they'd seen you coming out of the pictures with a young girl.
Arthur Seaton: It's a bloody lie then.
Brenda: Do you think I'm daft Arthur? I can tell you don't go on me as much as you used to .
Arthur Seaton: That isn't true Brenda, you know I like you a lot.
Brenda: I know you, I can see that a mile off.
Arthur Seaton: Not my fault if you don't believe me, is it?
Brenda: You know the trouble with you, you don't know the difference between right and rong, and I don't think you ever will.
Arthur Seaton: Maybe I won't, but I don't want anybody to teach me either.
Brenda: You'll learn one day.
Arthur Seaton: We'll see, but it's now that matters isn't it, we've still got to clear this mess up.
