Review of The Third Man (1949) by John A — 25 Aug 2009
The Third Man brilliantly displays the catastrophic impact and destruction wrought by war and conflict. The aftermath of WWII in Vienna is devastating, seen not just in the beautifully shot rubble, dark corners, and sewers of the once glamorous city, but also more acutely in the lives of the people trying to make their way in such a sad and beaten down locale.
No character embodies this tragedy more than Welles' Harry Lime, who offers one of the great cinematic performances of all time.
