Third Man, The

    0.02 sec.

Third Man, The

Film noir made in the UK in 1949, directed by Carol Reed and with a screenplay by Graham Greene. It is set in Vienna just after World War II, and follows a writer (Joseph Cotten) trailing his friend turned black-market racketeer, Harry Lime (Orson Welles).

The film is a powerful melodrama, which climaxes with a chase through the Vienna sewers. The solo zither score by the Viennese composer Anton Karas (1906–1985) heightens the tension and gives the film its distinctive signature.

So we got on very well together; but the third man, the old gentleman in the tight pantaloons, seemed rather distant and haughty, until I slid into the subject of the Duke of Exmoor and his ancestry.
