The Third Man
SUN 6 OCT
Coming Soon to
Lumiere Cinemas
Written by Graham Greene (Brighton Rock, The Fallen Idol), directed by Carol Reed (The Fallen Idol, Oliver!) and featuring iconic performances from Joseph Cotten (Gaslight), Orson Welles (Citizen Kane), Alida Valli (Eyes Without a Face) and Trevor Howard (Brief Encounters, Sons and Lovers), THE THIRD MAN is celebrated for its endlessly quotable lines, superb Oscar-winning cinematography, iconic musical score and for so many wonderfully entertaining, quintessentially cinematic moments....
Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten), an American writer of pulp Westerns, arrives in a bombed-out, post-war Vienna at the invitation of his childhood friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles), only to find him recently dead. His suspicions are raised after learning of a ‘third man’ present at the time of Harry’s death, and butting up against interference from British police officer Major Calloway (Trevor Howard) and falling head-over-heels for Harry’s grief-stricken lover Anna (Alida Valli).
The atmospheric use of black and white expressionist cinematography and tilted-angled camerawork by Robert Krasker, for which he won an Oscar, combined with the iconic hit theme music by Anton Karas performed on the zither, memorably evoke the noir thriller atmosphere of THE THIRD MAN, voted by the British Film Institute as the greatest British film of all time...
Having previously won the BAFTA award for Best British Film for Odd Man Out (1947) and The Fallen Idol (1948), director Carol Reed made it 3 years in a row scooping up the BAFTA again for THE THIRD MAN, winning the Grand Prix in Cannes and receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Director.
