    Strictly speaking, the 1964 edition has nothing to do with Hemingway. Of course, this one only comes from the novel for the first ten minutes. After all, the novel is limited in length, and the adaptation needs to be expanded. I still prefer novels, but the expansion seems to be a bit of a continuation, thinking of Borges'...

    Okay, it's fun to follow the insurance investigator backwards and rewind the actual events, but not too impressive. Femme scorpion is also standard in film noir, and Ava Gardner is just right to stop...

    [after Reardon has wrapped up the investigation, Kenyon congratulates him]

    R.S. Kenyon: Owing to your splendid efforts the basic rate of The Atlantic Casualty Company - as of 1947 - will probably drop one-tenth of a cent.

    [he shakes Reardon's hand]

    R.S. Kenyon: Congratulations, Mr. Reardon.

    Jim Reardon: I'd rather have a night's sleep.

    R.S. Kenyon: Why don't you take a good rest. I must say you've earned it.

    [Reardon starts to leave]

    R.S. Kenyon: This is Friday... don't come in 'til Monday.

    Jim Reardon: Thanks.

    Max: Never mind the clock. What have you got to eat?

    George: Well, I can give you any kind of sandwiches: bacon and eggs, liver and bacon, ham and eggs, steak...

    Al: I'll have the chicken croquettes with the cream sauce and the green peas and the mashed potatoes.

    George: That's on the dinner too.
