About this product

Product Information

This classic noir mystery, from the team of Carol Reed and Graham Greene, is generally considered to be the best filmwork of both of these estimable talents. THE THIRD MAN features Joseph Cotten as Holly Martins, a pulp novelist who has come to post-WWII Vienna with the promise of work from his friend, Harry Lime (Orson Welles). When he finds that Lime has just been killed in a questionable car accident, he decides to remain in the city to investigate his friend's demise.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

    Great cast, setting, story line and a great classic film

    I was about 11 years old when I saw this film and the plot, film noir classic scenes, acting, and mood remained with me until this day even though I am now 79 years of age. This film and others of dark genre were set in post WWII while Europe sifted through the ashes of a horrible war. I can't find large faults with the film and frankly, it scared me silly as a kid. Joseph Cotten was good in his role but the drunk or tipsy scenes seemed a bit forced. Orson Welles typically turned in a great performance as did Alida Valli. The plot twists such as the ending scene with Valli ignoring Joseph Cotton at the end was classic. I give this wonderful classic five stars.

  • Another Cotten Classic (and Orson Welles)

    First off, the cinematography is beautiful. Carol Reed and the DP did a wonderful job lighting scenes with bright backlighting to give the film its unique noir style. And the canted camera shots are powerful. Orson Welles' performance is the best, and it is remarkable watching his face and eyes as he reacts to Cotten. He goes from good-natured to threatening in seconds, and we believe every second of it. The guidelines for eBay say to write about the cons of the film, too. I have no complaints. "The Third Man" may not be up to par with Welles' other classic, "Citizen Kane," but this one is an altogether different type of film, with odd archetypes and bold characters who say what they mean. It can be said to play off of the themes of "Casablanca" -- and if you see both films, you'll ...

  • One of the Best Movies Ever

    "The Third Man" has been voted the best British movie of the 20th century. It certainly is. This masterpiece of film noir is sadly mostly remembered by people for its mesmerizing zither theme by Anton Karas. There is so much more to this movie than just the marvelous theme song. The plot is superb, gripping, and keeps the viewer guessing. The acting is perfect. Joseph Cotten rules the day as Holly Martins, the western novelist who discovers his own real-life mystery when he arrives in Vienna. Cotten is a pleasure to watch as a man who realizes he is watching his naivete slowly disappear like water into the Vienna sewers. And no one could have played Harry Lime as the rotten scoundrel he was better than Orson Welles. Welles' face is on most of the promotional material despite the ...

  • The Third Man

    One of the best movies ever made, one I can watch over and over and not get tires of it; Orson Wells performance is outstanding, even though he is not the main actor, he dominates the production. Alex Korda's camera work excels and also has a touch of Citizen Kane in the camara angles. The German spoke in the background adds an aditional surreal quality. Criterion is one of the best in dvd re-leases and this one is outstanding. It includes the "British ending" and also has Grahm Greene's voice in the opening scene rather than Joseph Cotten. Enjoy

  • A Must See Noir Classic: An excellent book gets turned into a great Movie

    One of the greatest noir movies of all time. Post WW II Vienna: The black market is thriving. A down on his luck Holly Martins has been invited to hang out with his "best" friend Harry Lime, but when he arrives he finds Harry Lime has just died...But was it an accident or something more sinister ? Joseph Cotten as the bumbling, soft-hearted gullible Holly Martins. Trevor Howard as the condescending, impatient but understanding "good Sheriff" in a very bad town, Alida Valli as the extremely vulnerable but not quite femme fatale, Bernard Lee leads a great supporting cast as the sympathetic nice cop who becomes a good buddy to Holly Martins. And of course, Orson Welles in one of his greatest roles, as the charming opportunist without a conscience, Harry Lime. So many great moments ...
