Our take
Carol Reed re-teamed with writer Graham Greene to deliver the crown jewel of British noir. A mysterious tale of black market espionage with an immortal performance from Orson Welles as the vampiric Harry Lime, The Third Man is a thrilling plunge into the shadowed underworld of postwar Vienna.
