The Third Man(1949)Genre - Mystery/Thriller
Directed By - Carol Reed
Cast - Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Orson Welles
Whats It About - Arriving in Vienna, Holly Martins learns that his friend Harry Lime, who has invited him, recently died in a car accident. But the real thing is much different and sinister.
Why To Watch It - THE THIRD MAN is a masterpiece of melancholia featuring extraordinary writing, acting, and directing, as well as a classic zither score by Anton Karas. Welles is memorable as the seductive villain, but the true star may be the camera work of Robert Krasker, which transforms Vienna into a coruscating, expressionist nightmare.
After watching Citizen Kane, i have become a huge fan of Orson Welles and even here he has not disappointed me one bit.
This film-noir is a must watch for any film loving creature.
