Quote context

[...]

- It is only a step from the modern city to the Casbah, but when you take that step, you enter another world...

- A melting pot for all the sins of Earth, a jungle of houses, a labyrinth of narrow passages and winding alleys, rotten with vermin and decay and the filth of centuries.

- No one knows what mysteries are hidden behind those walls.

- No one knows what crimes and hopes are buried in those secret courtyards.

- Forty thousand inhabitants from all over the world live there...

- Kabyles, in their white robes...

- Chinese, faithful to Confucius...

- Gypsies, with their fortune telling and their songs...

- Negroes, from every corner of Africa.

- And women. Ho! Women of every age and color. Women caught in the net of the Casbah.

- Everywhere there are terraces, all connected together, so that those who are accepted can move to any part of the Casbah without even using the street.

Top rated lines from this movie

I don't like traveling. Makes me homesick. If I can't see the same old streets when I open my eyes in the morning, I want to go right back to sleep.
Oh, yes, my dear. Your hotel bores me. The headwaiter looks like an undertaker and every time I step into this apartment it looks more like a funeral parlor.
You're so quiet. -I'm looking at you. I can't speak when I do that.
They can't keep me here! I'm free! Free to go! I'm sick of it! All of you. I'm sick of listening to you. And I'm sick of looking at you.
Nice friends you have. -In business, one cannot choose.
