It was with grand 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 belief of it as a very fair movie, I did not consider it would putrid in my top 20. Now I gaze what I missed as a younger person. I can also perceive why this film would imperfect 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, appreciate, 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 tranquil 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 upright angles. Nearly everything is tilted. Close-ups of faces exaggerate their features. The sunless and white of the film emphasizes the sunless nature of the chronicle and its correct 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 lawful contemptible intention, Harry has a chance to assassinate Holly and fabricate it ogle like an accident. What stops him? Friendship? And why does Harry acquire 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 ruin himself?

Who was Harry Lime (Orson Welles)? An irascible man, devil in the flesh who was responsible for the unspeakable crimes, yet vivid, blissful and charismatic. His most distinguished 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, panic, execute, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly cherish – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that create? 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 deem it is one of the greatest, too…
A pretty mysterious girl with tragic past was in savor with him and the unforgettable ending, so anti-Hollywood, so moral to the film – was about her care for 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 satisfied that Reed won (I am clear millions of fans are, too) . That was the intention to achieve the movie and beget it remarkable more than unbiased typical noir. Makes the viewer consider about admire, friendship, betrayal, loyalty, the designate 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 quandary I had – the music. I like it but it was very curious to hear it in the film like The Third Man. Maybe that was a purpose – instead of somber, mopish, and ominous music that would be expected for the noir film, something completely different and out of space – elated but heart-broken in the same time…
Criterion DVD is astounding – the restored version of the film shines. There are two openings of the film available – British and American, and a lot of extras.
