It was with immense 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 beautiful movie, I did not assume it would putrid in my top 20. Now I peek what I missed as a younger person. I can also observe why this film would scandalous 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, worship, 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 suitable angles. Nearly everything is tilted. Close-ups of faces exaggerate their features. The shaded and white of the film emphasizes the gloomy nature of the tale and its fair 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 factual unpleasant arrangement, Harry has a chance to execute Holly and develop it witness like an accident. What stops him? Friendship? And why does Harry glean 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 slay himself?

Who was Harry Lime (Orson Welles)? An wrong man, devil in the flesh who was responsible for the unspeakable crimes, yet smart, glad and charismatic. His most renowned 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, dread, abolish, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly adore – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that gain? 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 pretty mysterious girl with tragic past was in worship with him and the unforgettable ending, so anti-Hollywood, so lawful 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 ecstatic that Reed won (I am obvious millions of fans are, too) . That was the design to achieve the movie and compose it powerful more than fair typical noir. Makes the viewer contemplate about care for, friendship, betrayal, loyalty, the heed 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 curious to hear it in the film like The Third Man. Maybe that was a purpose – instead of somber, short-tempered, and ominous music that would be expected for the noir film, something completely different and out of status – pleased but downhearted in the same time…
Criterion DVD is fantastic – the restored version of the film shines. There are two openings of the film available – British and American, and a lot of extras.
