TCM's Essentials: 52 Must See Movies (52 movies items)"“It shows what Hollywood can do when everybody is putting their best foot forward. The perfect film because of the cast, certainly the direction…also the subject matter, which is particularly fascinating to me because I love the movie world. The music by Franz Waxman I think is absolutely appropriate. The gloomy set in the house is incredible…. It’s in my top one or two movies of all time.” -Robert Osborne “There’s such a central humanity underneath all of its wry humor and absurd"
