About this product

Product Information

This classic noir mystery, from the team of Carol Reed and Graham Greene, is generally considered to be the best filmwork of both of these estimable talents. THE THIRD MAN features Joseph Cotten as Holly Martins, a pulp novelist who has come to post-WWII Vienna with the promise of work from his friend, Harry Lime (Orson Welles). When he finds that Lime has just been killed in a questionable car accident, he decides to remain in the city to investigate his friend's demise.

  • Great cast, setting, story line and a great classic film

    I was about 11 years old when I saw this film and the plot, film noir classic scenes, acting, and mood remained with me until this day even though I am now 79 years of age. This film and others of dark genre were set in post WWII while Europe sifted through the ashes of a horrible war. I can't find large faults with the film and frankly, it scared me silly as a kid. Joseph Cotten was good in his role but the drunk or tipsy scenes seemed a bit forced. Orson Welles typically turned in a great performance as did Alida Valli. The plot twists such as the ending scene with Valli ignoring Joseph Cotton at the end was classic. I give this wonderful classic five stars.

  • A Must See Noir Classic: An excellent book gets turned into a great Movie

    One of the greatest noir movies of all time. Post WW II Vienna: The black market is thriving. A down on his luck Holly Martins has been invited to hang out with his "best" friend Harry Lime, but when he arrives he finds Harry Lime has just died...But was it an accident or something more sinister ? Joseph Cotten as the bumbling, soft-hearted gullible Holly Martins. Trevor Howard as the condescending, impatient but understanding "good Sheriff" in a very bad town, Alida Valli as the extremely vulnerable but not quite femme fatale, Bernard Lee leads a great supporting cast as the sympathetic nice cop who becomes a good buddy to Holly Martins. And of course, Orson Welles in one of his greatest roles, as the charming opportunist without a conscience, Harry Lime. So many great moments in this movie: The Ferris Wheel scene with Welles' improvisation lines, the heartbreaking long cut last scene....The book by Graham Greene is an excellent read but this movie is better !

  • Quintessential Film Noir

    Everyone should see this classic at least once. The Criterion issue is really well done. And thankfully has English subtitles for us old folks who remember when the movie first came out.
