The dialogue is sharp and justly
famous, though writer - director Joseph L. Mankiewicz has trouble putting it into the mouths of his actors: nothing sounds remotely natural, and the film is pervaded by the out - of - sync sense of staircase wit — this is a
movie about what
people wished they'd said.

Yesterday, when the news came of French director Eric Rohmer's death, a lot of
people who apparently hadn't even seen «Night Moves» (or, perhaps, a Rohmer
movie) were freely quoting Moseby's
famous wisecrack in pieces
about Rohmer without providing any context for it:
Although they may learn more
about history if they read a biography
about George Washington (and I do have these types of reading assignments during the school year), I have found that during their free time, my students love reading
about the lives of
people that they know
about from TV,
movies, music, sports, and
famous authors.
