Korda and O’Selznick produced one of the most acclaimed mysteries of all time. “The Third Man” counts with the always valid input of Orson Wells who supposedly wrote his character’s lines. The director Carol Reed worked 20 hours a day to direct three distinct filming crews (one during the day, one at night and one exclusively on Vienna’s sewers).
A murdered happened, but the stories don’t fit. One man is missing from scene, who is he? Who is the third man?
In a beautiful black and white we follow Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton) trough the streets of bombed Vienna in the search for the third man. This search will lead him to a personal confrontation with his feelings for a friend and for a woman. His choice separates him from both and the movie ends as it started.
Good classic have always to be part of our culture, and as such this is a movie that has to be watched. Go on now, go!
Rating: 7/10
