Review of The Third Man (1949) by Conner R — 08 Oct 2009
The story and look of it was amazing. The disorienting angles and marionette-like music were great touches. My main complaint, only complaint really, was that Joseph Cotton played the most uninteresting lead imaginable.
He came off as a moron and not even a likable moron. Alida Valli definitely made up for this, but it still made the movie somewhat hard to enjoy. Orson Wells was good too, but it seemed like he was almost used just in a matter-of-fact way.
Nonetheless, it's a great movie.
