Review of The Third Man (1949) by Grant S — 09 Sep 2011
Great movie, surely one of the greatest mystery-thrillers ever made. Very original, intriguing plot. Stylish direction. The pace is spot-on - no drifting or tangents.
Great score - all played by Anton Karas on a zither. The Harry Lyme Theme is a musical classic, and has been covered by many bands.
Orson Welles is the most noticable amongst the film's cast, but his role is quite minor (though he gives his usual solid performance). Joseph Cotten, in the lead role, is excellent and the remaining cast give great support.
A true classic.
