Review of The Third Man (1949) by Leighton T — 09 Aug 2009
An incredible film noir. It carries an almost light tone to it, which the zither musical score adds to. There are pitch-perfect performances from everyone (Cotten, Valli, Welles) involved and the story is perfectly executed (not once does it feel slow or ); the screenplay is just fantastic! On top of that, brilliant, haunting and beautiful cinematography in the setting of war-torn Vienna and Reed's perfect direction sets the tone for the film.
A fantastic caper mystery that leaves you with just the right amount of questions, but feeling completely satisfied in the journey.
