Famous Unscripted Lines That Will Make You Look At These Classic Movie Scenes In An Entirely Different Way
“And What Did That Produce? The Cuckoo Clock.” – Orson Welles As Harry Lime in The Third Man
“Citizen Kane” fanatics will have yet another reason to praise Orson Welles after reading these following few lines. In the 1949 thriller “The Third Man,” Welles portrayed the character of ‘Harry Lime,’ a non-nonsense, hat-wearing gentleman who believed firmly that there are many advantages to war.
In a genius improvised piece of dialogue, ‘Lime’ talks about how decades of conflict helped Italy produce “Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and the Renaissance.” Then, he compares it to peaceful Switzerland, completing his speech with a now-classic remark worthy of a drop of the mic: “And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.” We dare you to find a more witty unscripted line!
