...most memorable shots is of the contrast in the still landscape of Montmartre at night. In the pitch black lower part of the frame only the sharply etched neon nightclub sign. "Pigalle," stands out, while above the dome of the Sacre Coeur cathedral is silhouetted against the mist. The music reinforces the fundamental contrast inherent in the film. It is magically distant and redolent of both jazz and the French music hall. The only part of the film that unfortunately remains on the other side of the Atlantic is the salty Parisian dialogue, which the subtitles can only approximate...
...elegant, youngish man strolls through the brooding gloom of evening. The collar of his Burberry trench coat is flipped up against the damp mist which rolls through the streets. His foulard neck tie is confidently tied and asserted with a simple pin, and his Bally slippers make only the slightest squishing noise as he makes his way to his club for a few hands of whist, for talk of the Malaya network and of what new moles have been rooted out of it. At the door, he is greeted by the doorman, a fine, silver-haired chap clad...

Six times each day the brothers come together to read the Gospel, meditate, pray and share insights into the Scriptures. Recurring themes such as God's infinite love for his creatures and people returning God's love by serving others are explored...
...early mornings, as mist rose off the Potomac River, Haig often had breakfast with a guest in his seventh-floor State Department aerie, where only his soldier's voice and the ticking of an antique clock broke the solemn silence. At such encounters, his misty ambition was freed. In this fantasy, he was on Capitol Hill putting together a practical budget, making sensible deals with Speaker Tip O'Neill and the Democrats, fashioning legislative maneuvers that made things work rather than standing prettily on ideology. His mind, in these unfettered and rare interludes, was into weapons and food...
