🎡 The Third Man (1949) is a classic noir directed by Carol Reed and written by Graham Greene. A novel version appeared the following year. Set in the ruins of postwar Vienna, a city of shadows and suspicions, it’s the story of Holly Martins, a writer of Westerns, played by Joseph Cotten. He’s on the trail of old friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles), who is said to have died in a car accident.

Just watched #TheThirdMan again and have to hand it to #CarolReed for direction and #OrsonWelles for his dominating performance of a 1hr 40m film in just five minutes of dialogue. Unbelievably over an hour into the film.

So much to like about this film I don't know who to credit.

The theme is incredibly powerful and revealing of the the true nature of humanity versus the popular narrative that frankly is a terrible lie we tell ourselves. #movies
