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.

  • One of the truly great films.

    It's one of those films which regularly is held up as one of the critic's 'all time greats'. With all of these benchmark pieces of film, I have to put that aside, and decide for myself. On any level, it's a stunning piece of work. On a basic level, it certainly entertains. The film is set in that odd post war period of confusion, a void within which everything is transient, and nothing is guaranteed. This is a fertile ground for a great piece of cinema. The soundtrack has to be mentioned, you're sure to have heard it before watching the film. The cinematography is an absolute masterclass. With a story and screenplay by Graham Greene, Carol Reed directing, and Orson Welles in a part which has got to be one of his most enthralling, how can you go wrong? Trevor Howard is a personal favourite in this film. Some pieces of art seem to be fortunate enough to lie at the apex of all those involved within it. The Third Man seems to be such a piece. Is it for everyone? No. Universal appeal tends to be the hallmark of the bland. Ignore the reviews, watch the trailer. It may not be for you, and there's nothing wrong with that. My opinion is that this is one of 'the classics' which I wholeheartedly agree with.

  • A really disappointing film, given its iconic status

    Not at all what I expected from clips I had seen and from reviews I'd read. It seems to me to be highly overrated.
