The Third Man
Dir: Carol Reed Stars: Joseph Cotten, Orson Welles 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die IMDB #130 This is like an Anti-Casablanca. There are criminals, hideouts, women, and astonishing black & white cinematography. But where Casablanca had some hope and good intentions...The Third Man is a bit pessimistic. It was filmed in post-war Vienna and it really sets quite a mood. The mystery that Joseph Cotten is trying to solve kept me intrigued and the arrival of Orson Welles is so great. That classic scene on the ferris wheel is definitely the best part. B+ |
