“I don't believe the cinema is a place for little lectures on how everybody should live.”
Sir Carol Reed

“Children are natural actors but you must give them something to act.”
Sir Carol Reed

“To make a good film you've got to sit down at the moviola day after day - all day - running the footage over and over, trying combinations.”

“Films are made in fear and worry and panic. There is no happiness in this business.”
Sir Carol Reed
