One of my favorite films is ‘The Shadow’ starring Alex Baldwin. It’s a campy, rather dumb film, but the visuals are quite good, and so is the dialogue. Just to be clear, Alec Baldwin is Lamont Cranston who is ‘The Shadow’, the titular vaguely evil superhero:
Margo Lane: “Oh, God I dreamed.”
Lamont Cranston: “So did I. What did you dream?”
Margo Lane: “I was lying naked on a beach in the South Seas. The tide was coming up to my toes. The sun was beating down. My skin hot and cool at the same time. It was wonderful. What was yours?”
Lamont Cranston: “I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face and was somebody else underneath.”
Margo Lane: “You have problems.”
Lamont Cranston: “I’m aware of that.”
I never get tired of that exchange. Baldwin delivers it in such a deadpan manner that it kills me every time. … I’m just sayin’.
