Review of The Third Man (1949) by Monty H — 17 Dec 2012
Classic film noir about a writer who goes looking for his old childhood buddy and becomes entangled in a mystery. Top notch suspense with a great cast led by Joseph Cotten as the writer and Orson Welles as his missing friend-Harry Lime.
Definetly a must see film. You won't be disappointed. Features one of the most memorable lines in movie history. Harry:"Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance.
In Switzerland they had brotherly love- they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock".
