“Of all the movies that I have seen, this one most completely embodies the romance of going to the movies." - Roger Ebert
Don't miss this brand new 75th Anniversary 4K restoration of the film cited by the British Film Institute as the greatest British film ever made.
Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten), a 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 dead. Martins develops the ultimate conspiracy theory after learning of a “third man” present at the time of Harry’s death, 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).
Thanks to brilliant performances; an evocative zither score; razor-sharp dialogue and truly dramatic use of light and shadow, this noir delight only grows in stature as the decades pass and remains a must see on the big screen.
