Couldn't agree with you more. Evans is the jewel in the crown here.

i am just now seeing that moment on TCM. I am torn between deciding which is more exquisite, the line or Evans's delivery. But why quibble with such perrfections? Splendid!

Edith Evans could make any line priceless! What an actress she wasand Jack MacGowran (also a great actor) had a great reaction too.

That was probably the funniest scene in the movie.

I agree with both of you. The biggest laugh in the film for me.
That's part of your problem, you haven't seen enough movies. All of life's riddles are answered in the movies.

I loved that scene! It was the best on th whole movie. Only Edith Evans could completely cow a highway man just by telling him off!
