Storyline:There were a number of light-hearted jokes in the film, e.g., (1) the film""s running joke about the American correspondent""s embarrassing loss of his distinctive and respectable English bowler hat three times - it was stolen, left in a cab, and blown off in he wind, and (2) a rattled pedestrian trying to cross a busy village street.Although Lehman was originally assigned to direct the film, he dropped out due to health reasons.The film""s quotable dialogue (extensively contributed by Odets) of the metropolitan locale is corrosively rich, slang-filled, sharply intelligent, and fast-paced, while the superb, crisp, low-key lighting of the black and white cinematography from veteran James Wong Howe emphasizes the harsh shadows and dark, unglamorous recesses of the corrupt and seamy environment of wheeling and dealing.Margaret: Don""t say ""stinks,"" darling.If absolutely necessary, ""smells"" - but only if absolutely necessary.Her father Seth Lord""s (John Halliday) chronic, indiscreet womanizing broke up her own parent""s marriage "with his interest in the arts.The Master provided hem with weapons, boats and safe passage.Before departing with a grand send-off, Thorin insisted that the gravely-wounded and sick Kili remain behind.
