The Third Man | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Orson Welles stars as Harry Lime and Joseph Cotten plays his childhood friend, Holly Martins, in this all-time classic thriller scripted by Graham Greene and directed by Carol Reed. Martins searches for Lime through the seedy underworld of postwar Vienna and gets caught up in a web of love, deception, racketeering, and murder. The Third Man's stunning cinematography, twisting plot and unforgettable zither score are immortalized in Criterion's pristine special edition, following the 50th anniversary theatrical re-release.
