    Called the greatest British film ever made

    I can see why. Brilliant in every possible way! Carol Reed was one of the best directors ever, but sadly, only film buffs know his name. Add Welles, Cotton and Howard, and a thrilling Graham Greene script, and get ready for one of the masterpieces of cinema. Great extras on this Criterion release. Wish it hadn't gone out of print.

  • A Classic Beyond Dispute

    What can you say? You get Carol Reed (director),Graham Green(script),Harry Lime(Orson Wells at his most flamboyant),Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton as the archtypal innocent American),steady Trevor Howard, lessons in Austrian pronunciation, great sewer shots--& oh that zither score by Anton Karas! One of the classic films that's both as serious & entertaining as its reputation for both. You don't have to think about either--you're just carried along by the pace & plot turns. And, as you might expect, it only gets better with repeated viewing. This is a collision of all collaborators working at their peak. Incidentally, Criterion has lost the rights to this, so it's now officially out of print (June 2010). It will be picked up by Lionsgate (I believe)in a special edition scheduled for August ...

  • The Third Man

    What is so great about "The Third Man" and possibly the reason it has and will always remain a classic is the fact that a film like this can never be made again. Well at least not successfully. The setting of post WWII Vienna not only establishes the tone but is actually real location footage. How more authentic can you get! The casting too can never be assembled the way it was in this 1949 classic. Welles was extraordinary to say the least as Harry Lime while Joseph Cotten gives a performance of a lifetime. And of course the music. No production studio manufactured song could ever replace the zither music that stands its ground alongside the film as timeless. A true masterpiece and a gem in cinematic history.

  • The Third Man

    I bought this movie because it is the best British film of all time. It is the best of all foreign-made film noir movies. Great films are not planned, they occur by a chance meeting of great direction, cinematography, acting, script, musical score and etc. "The Third Man" contains all of these elements! Carol Reed is a consummate director. In this movie, he combines a number of elements to give it a realistic atmosphere. He uses the city of Vienna as a grim backdrop to the plot. The destruction of World War II is apparent: bombed-out buildings, careworn people clearing the rubble, desperate survivors selling their possessions for life's necessities. Reed uses odd camera angles to show the convoluted and out-of-joint social conditions of post-war Vienna. Several Viennese actors and ...

  • The Third Man 2 Disc Criterion (2007 re-release)

    Astonishing improvement over the previous release by Criterion in every way. The image has been cleaned even more than Criterion's previous dvd, which was transferred from a Telecine Print, originally struck for Laserdisc in the 1990's. The Extras, including the new and insightful commentary with director Steven Soderbergh, (Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Kafka, Out of Sight, Traffic, The Limey, Ocean's 11) is a welcome addition. As is the volume new documentary material included on the second disc. NOTE: All original materials available on initial release, included on this re-release. 5 STARS !!!
