Description:
Orson Welles stars as Harry Lime, and Joseph Cotten plays his childhood friend, Holly Martins, in this all-time classic thriller scripted by Graham Greene and directed by Carol Reed. Martins searches for Lime through the seedy underworld of postwar Vienna and gets caught up in a web of love, deception, racketeering, and murder. The Third Man's stunning cinematography, twisting plot, and unforgettable zither score are immortalized in Criterion's pristine special edition, following the 50th Anniversary theatrical re-release.
Amazon.com essential video:
The fractured Europe post-World War II is perfectly captured in Carol Reed's masterpiece thriller, set in a Vienna still shell-shocked from battle. Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) is an alcoholic pulp writer come to visit his old friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles). But when Cotton first arrives in Vienna, Lime's funeral is under way. From Lime's girlfriend and an occupying British officer, Martins learns of allegations of Lime's involvement in racketeering, which Martins vows to clear from his friend's reputation. As he is drawn deeper into postwar intrigue, Martins finds layer under layer of deception, which he desperately tries to sort out. Welles's long-delayed entrance in the film has become one of the hallmarks of modern cinematography, and it is just one of dozens of cockeyed camera angles that seem to mirror the off-kilter postwar society. Cotten and Welles give career-making performances, and the Anton Karas zither theme will haunt you. --Anne Hurley

This is one of those films that everyone thought the saw. This is of course because of all the popular actors and directors. Of those viewers that have seen this film they will never forget.
The default version is the U.K. version. However you can see the different versions compeered on the extras. Speaking about extras, one of the best is the abbreviated play being read over the film. I defiantly ordered the book.
This film is presented in black and white. You can see ... Read More

The Bottom Line:
Marred by the incongruously-jaunty zither music (though many like it) and the fact that the movie only really takes off when Orson Welles comes on scene, The Third Man is an incredily atmospheric and moody mystery that may be a bit flawed but is well-worth watching.

It's heartening to see that more and more classic films are being released in the Blu-ray format, which offers a crisp, sharp, High Definition picture and greater clarity of sound. The latest is "The Third Man," the 1949 film about post-World War II intrigue set in a Vienna divided into French, American, British, and Russian zones, each containing its share of suspicious characters.

For me, a film like "The Third Man" is the kind of experience that makes me deride the techniques of so-called "film noir". It is loaded with melodramatic camera angles, stark lighting, blaring music, and needlessly vague characterizations. It is so assured of its mysterious, bewitching power that scenes just kind of limp about the screen with no real emotion. And worse still are the flat to annoying performances of Cotten, Welles, Howard, and whomever played the female lead.
