Quotes from

Alice Prentiss: Frank, I've got it!
Frank Prentiss: Your plot?
Alice Prentiss: No, what actually happened. Remember I told you how much Mr. Gallico reminded me of Ormond?
Frank Prentiss: Yes.
Alice Prentiss: Well there had to be a reason for that and I think I know what it is. They've never found a trace of Ormond! I don't believe that he was ever in this house! I believe it was Gallico who rented those rooms upstairs!
Frank Prentiss: Wearing grease paint make?
Alice Prentiss: Oh no Frank, no, you were right about that, it had to be more than a makeup, I think it was a mask!
Frank Prentiss: Alice!
Alice Prentiss: A face I mean! The face of Ormond! That must have been his secret. How else could he have made those quick changes in his show?


The Great Rinaldi: [about Ormond] You had every reason to hate him. What did you do with him, Gallico? How did you get rid of it?
[Don's crematorium]
The Great Rinaldi: Was this thing already built and hidden away, waiting for a job like that?
Don Gallico: Ormond was seen alive two weeks ago, The Prentisses identified him.
The Great Rinaldi: That didn't have to be him.
Don Gallico: Who else could it have been?
The Great Rinaldi: It could have been you, Gallico. From what Ormond told me you are a clever man, developed a wonderful new makeup, something new in the theater. Something that might be used offstage too. Only a man who dreams up illusions would think of such a thing, and only people of the theater would know it was possible.


Alice Prentiss: I'm convinced of it, so convinced that I'm going to Lieutenant Bruce right now!
Frank Prentiss: Alice, I forbid it.
Alice Prentiss: My dear, don't be ridiculous.
