In the end, Holly Martins betrays the child-murderer Harry Lime because he comes to value the friendship of mankind...
James Rouse's revitalization of Baltimore's Inner Harbor is almost as bad as the redesigning he did with Quincy Market and Nathaniel Hall. What an eyesore Baltimore's harbor will be now. If only the Orioles had a prettier city maybe their pitching game would be that much better...
