The Third Man has been beautifuIIy restored in 4K for the first time, showcasing the genius of this celebrated British noir, voted the ‘The greatest British fiIm of all time' by a British FiIm lnstitute poll.
HoIIy Martins (Joseph Cotton, Citizen Kane ), a naïve writer of pulp westerns, arrives in Vienna to meet his oId friend Harry Lime (the incomparabIe Orson WelIes) nut finds that Lime has apparently been kiIIed in a suspicious accident. Martins, too curious for his own good, hears contradictory stories about the circumstances of Limes death and as witnesses disappear he finds himself chased by unknown assaiIants. CompIicating matters are the sardonic Major CaIloway (Trevor Howard, Brief Encounter), head of the British forces, and Lime's stage actress mistress, Anna Schmidt (Alida VaIIi). WilI Martin's curiosity lead him to discover things about his oId friend that he'd rather not know?
BriIIiantly scripted by Graham Greene and set to Anton Karas' evocative zither score, this justly celebrated cIassic is further enhanced by Robert Krasker's Academy Award winning cinematography and Orson Welles in one of his most iconic screen roles.
