"It doesn't do anything. That's the beauty of it!" Pt. 2

[Chronos]

No Highway In The Sky (1951) is playing now.

Theodore Honey (Jimmy Stewart) tries to solve Goldbach’s conjecture:

Dennis Scott: Sounds interesting, but, isn’t it a little pointless?
Theodore Honey: Oh, quite. That’s the beauty of it.

That’s probably mostly a reference to Gauss’s famous “Queen of the Sciences” quote.

I think the movie is “Big” with Tom Hanks
