In postwar Vienna, Austria, Holly Martins, a writer of pulp Westerns, arrives penniless as a guest of his childhood chum Harry Lime, only to learn he has died. Martins develops a conspiracy theory after learning of a "third man" present at the time of Harry's death, running into interference from British officer Major Calloway, and falling head-over-heels for Harry's grief-stricken lover, Anna.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Pulp novelist Holly Martins travels to shadowy, postwar Vienna, only to find himself investigating the mysterious death of an old friend, Harry Lime. I was expecting 'The Third Man' to be some awesome Noir thriller but instead we get the boring version of it like seriously i get it some of those movies back in the 30's and 40's did well for their time but now in 2018? They look pretty terrible, sound terrible and their just either very boring or very long and this movie is on the first side of things. Some people will enjoy it but others will just get bored by it. (0/10)

Actually, i didn't like the movie's music because it is not fit into the movie. And it wasn't even thrilling. But cinematography deserve the Oscar and last scene was so beautiful. It was really interesting because i think the movie's genre is comlicated i mean it haven't a clearly concept. It wasn't real crime movie, it wasn't a romantic movie, it wasn't definetely film-noir and thriller i gave up 7 but it even deserve to watch. i believe its all reason is the music choosen.

The Third Man is filled with great writing, acting, and directing, but the greatest aspect of the movie is the cinematography. Carol Reed and cinematographer Robert Krasker did a fantastic job of depicting a post world war II Vienna. The deep shadows and large amount of dutch angles add to the mystery, uneasiness, and tension of the plot. Most film noir are filled with hard-boiled detectives and pessimistic tones. Reed replaces the detective with a writer trying to find out the truth about his friend's death. Most noir are filled with deep, slow jazz, but The Third Man's soundtrack is filled with upbeat guitar music. It seems out of place when it first plays but it only adds to the weird conspiracy of Orson Welles' death. While The Third Man is considered film noir I believe it stands out form the rest.
