Review of The Third Man (1949) by Daniel S — 20 Apr 2009
A triumph in every manner possible, above all in cinematography, all the angles are off in some way, creating a skewed world. The extensive location shooting and use of disproportion ed shadows enhance the effect.
All the actors give great believable performances, Cotten, Valli, Howard and Welles in that memorable entrance. It's an intriguing story as well, that works as a mystery and poses a moral dilemma of whether to help the police or your friends.
And last but definitely not least, the score, it's unlike any score I've ever heard or will ever hear. A great film.
