'The Stranger'

Orson Welles' mustache should've been nominated for an Oscar.

It's an interesting 15 minutes in the middle of the film when everything evolves around the dog, Red.
In it, the brother asks Edward G. Robinson's character what possible laws were broken for murdering the poor dog. He states further that it's just as bad as killing a human.

At this point in the film, the brother knows Robinson's suspicion's of Welles' character of being a Nazi, one of the masterminds behind the destruction of Europe's Jewish population.
But certainly killing a dog should be equated to killing a person. Say six million puppies compared to six million Jews. Maybe a comment on the true detachment of the Americans during World War II and the Holocaust.

The wife was certainly a dumb slut.
