Sigh. I've gotta get ahold of what's out there of Reed's output. I know Criterion's got a couple of titles. Kimberly, I would give my eye teeth to see “Third Man” in the theater. Sigh.

One of my greatest film going experiences was seeing The Third Man at a local old movie house about 15 years ago. It was my first time seeing it and I walked out of the theater literally dancing on air knowing I'd just seen something absolutely brilliant. To this day it's one of my favorite films. Oddly enough I've been watching some of Carol Reed's later films in the last few months so the director's been on my mind a lot. It's really a shame that more of his work isn't available on DVD.

I didn't think the world needed another tired, standard review of this flick. You know, "Welle's performance, though a stand-out, overshadows the fine work by Howard and Cotten." Ho hum. And that indeed is one of the greatest screen-caps in history. Thanks, Shughajit. I didn’t think the world needed another tired, standard review of this flick.

You haven't just spoken about the movie but about the various socio-political contexts that defined the various angles in the movie and the wonderful genre of film noir that it belongs to, as well. And that 1st screenshot - certainly one of the most iconic sequences in film history! Looking forward to Part II & more... Terrific piece!!!
