Love, love this movie.

Caught it for the first time months ago and it has recently fell into my top 5 favorite. Orson Welles and Joesph Cotton are excellent as always. Perfect noir-ish screenplay by Graham Greene. They sure don't make them like this anymore. I want the criterion collection but it is so hard to find it cheaply. If you're really into movies and haven't seen it check it out.
