The Angel Wore Red (1960)

Joseph Cotten: Hawthorne

Quotes 

• Hawthorne : Don't tell me you're in love with this whirling dervish?

  Soledad : Are you crazy? How can you be in love with a priest? I was just worried about him. Besides, he's not a priest anymore.

• Hawthorne : He's joined the management.

  Soledad : Joined what management?

  Hawthorne : The government: Department of Worried Atheists.

  Soledad : Well, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard of: a priest going over to the heathens?

• Capt. Botargus : The Continental Broadcasting Company won't have a correspondent here very long, if he continues to listen to the enemy wireless.

  Hawthorne : The Continental is trying to be a fair and impartial observer, Captain. It hates both sides.

• Hawthorne : No, nothing new. Oh sure, there're disturbances. A few guys getting killed, here and there. Well, that doesn't add up to a revolution!

• Hawthorne : Where the devil am I going to find a human interest story?

• Soledad : Do you need four eyeballs?

  Hawthorne : Every one-eyed gentlemen needs at least four - for routine social demands. This one has a rather wicked glint in it - for leering at you girls after midnight. This one - has a good clean honest look - for dealing with mothers. This one - this one's simply bloodshot.

  Soledad : What is that?

  Hawthorne : Aw, this one's for patriotic occasions. That's a small American flag painted across the pupil. A tribute to God's Country, impossible for the old-fashioned two-eyed man.

• Hawthorne : Have you ever covered a civil war? It's like trying to make love in a revolving door.
