Quote from: soixanteHow could I forget -- William Holden in Sunset Boulevard, floating dead in a swimming pool.  In one image, tone, character & setting are concisely  conveyed.  Best of all, Holden's entrance is also an exit.

Speaking of which, what is the best exit?  Probably from the same movie.  Gloria Swanson ready for her close up.

Actually, it's a few frames in more:

I am definitely going with Orson Welles in The Third Man. Even for a movie made then, it still sends chills down the spine to most people I know who are into movies. Orson Welles may have been the greatest face and persona ever to grace printed film. The Third Man for me is the ultimate film noir and one of my favorites.
