FRAME THE SHOT

Description

Carol Reed’s celebrated British noir The Third Man is widely regarded as the greatest British film of all time. Brilliantly scripted by Graham Greene – and set to Anton Karas’s evocative zither score – this justly celebrated classic is further enhanced by Robert Krasker’s Academy Award®-winning
cinematography and Orson Welles in one of his most iconic roles. Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton, Citizen Kane), a naïve writer, arrives in Vienna to meet his old friend Harry Lime (the incomparable Welles) but finds Lime has been killed in a suspicious accident. Martins, too curious for his own good, hears contradictory stories about Lime’s death, and as witnesses disappear finds himself chased by unknown assailants. Complicating matters are sardonic Major Calloway (Trevor Howard, Brief Encounter), head of the British forces, and Lime’s mistress, Anna Schmidt (Alida Valli). Will Martins’s curiosity lead him to discover things about his old friend that he’d rather not know?
