It was with tremendous anticipation that I viewed The Third Man recently. I had last seen it nearly 25 years earlier. At the earlier viewing I was impressed with the atmospheric treatment of Vienna and the mystery surrounding Joseph Cotton’s search for the truth about his friend Harry (Orson Wells) . However, though I then understanding of it as a very pretty movie, I did not believe it would sinful in my top 20. Now I observe what I missed as a younger person. I can also seek why this film would unfavorable as number one on a British list of greatest films of the 20th century.
The film is a surreal examination of the tension between loyalty, like, and friendship on the one hand, and truth and justice on the other. The Viennese are suffused with the cynicism of a destroyed continent and damaged culture. The British know only about the truth and justice side of the equation. The American writer of simple westerns unruffled is naïve enough to care about friendship and truth, and follows both wherever they lead. At the same time, Carol Reed scarcely shoots a scene in which there are moral angles. Nearly everything is tilted. Close-ups of faces exaggerate their features. The sad and white of the film emphasizes the sad nature of the legend and its suitable underpinnings.
At first Holly Martins (Cotton) thinks he is helping his best friend, Harry Lime (Wells) . At the same time he becomes Harry’s rival for the woman, Anna. When Harry realizes that Holly has discovered his just harmful blueprint, Harry has a chance to abolish Holly and originate it gape like an accident. What stops him? Friendship? And why does Harry net Holly’s invitation to meet? In the penultimate scene in the underground sewer tunnels, does Holly fire the final and fatal shot, or does Harry destroy himself?

Who was Harry Lime (Orson Welles)? An despicable man, devil in the flesh who was responsible for the unspeakable crimes, yet colorful, delighted and charismatic. His most well-known words, a short speech written by Welles himself, say a lot about his character and motivations:
“In Italy for 30 years under the Borgies they had warfare, fright, destroy, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly care for – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that make? The cuckoo clock.”

No wonder, we like him, even though we know what he’d done…
It has been said thousands of times about the greatest movie entrance ever – but what about his ‘exit’ – the fingers on the street? I consider it is one of the greatest, too…
A ravishing mysterious girl with tragic past was in admire with him and the unforgettable ending, so anti-Hollywood, so correct to the film – was about her savor that goes beyond the grave. I read that both Selznick (the producer) and author Graham Greene had initially argued for something more upbeat (Holly and Anna walking off arm-in-arm), but Reed disagreed. I am so gay that Reed won (I am distinct millions of fans are, too) . That was the scheme to do the movie and obtain it considerable more than honest typical noir. Makes the viewer consider about admire, friendship, betrayal, loyalty, the imprint one pays for them.
Amazing film – perfectly shot; almost flawless. It looks and feels like Welles himself could’ve made it. The influence of Citizen Kane is undeniable. The only predicament I had – the music. I like it but it was very outlandish to hear it in the film like The Third Man. Maybe that was a purpose – instead of somber, morose, and ominous music that would be expected for the noir film, something completely different and out of spot – satisfied but downhearted in the same time…
Criterion DVD is extraordinary – the restored version of the film shines. There are two openings of the film available – British and American, and a lot of extras.
