Synopsis:

Set in a bombed-out, post-war Vienna, THE THIRD MAN stars Cotten as Holly Martins, a writer of pulp Westerns, who arrives penniless as guest of his childhood chum Harry Lime, only to find him dead. Martins develops the ultimate conspiracy theory after learning of a “third man” present at the time of Harry’s death, running into interference from investigating British officer Trevor Howard and falling head-over-heels for Harry’s grief-stricken lover, Alida Valli. An all-time classic THE THIRD MAN features some of the screen’s most memorable set pieces -- the chase through the sewers, the enormous ferris wheel, the elm-lined cemetery -- and Anton Karas’ zither score, a worldwide phenomenon in itself.
