In the Cool of the Day (1963)

John Le Mesurier: Dr. Arraman

Quotes 

• Murray Logan : "Why should we listen to the Oracles of Apollo and to the screaming of the birds above our heads? For they would have it that I am doomed to kill my father."

  Christine Bonner : [claps]  Dr. Arraman. Bravo!

  Murray Logan : Hello. How long have you been there?

  Dr. Arraman : I've heard Oedipus many times. But, never in the way I did just now. It's not every day that one sees an English intellectual, performing Greek tragedy, translated by an Irish poet.

• Dr. Arraman : The most celebrated of Greek maxims was inscribed there. "Know Thyself." If only one could.
