THE THIRD MAN (1949)

🎬 The Third Man (1949)
Dir. Carol Reed | UK/USA | 1h 44m | Mystery / Thriller

Set amid the bombed-out streets and shadowy alleyways of post-war Vienna, The Third Man is one of cinema’s most enduring noir masterpieces.

Pulp novelist Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) arrives in Vienna to reconnect with an old friend, only to discover that Harry Lime (Orson Welles) is dead — or is he? As Martins digs deeper, the city’s fractured moral landscape reveals itself through deception, divided loyalties, and uneasy truths.

Famed for its unforgettable zither score, striking black-and-white cinematography, and one of the most iconic final acts in film history, The Third Man is a gripping exploration of friendship, betrayal, and ethical compromise in a world still reeling from war.
A film made to be experienced on the big screen.
