Four-Star Films : ‘The Third Man’
This witty and stylish Carol Reed-Graham Greene 1949 film noir is set in seedy postwar Vienna and stars Joseph Cotten as a brash, naive American ensnared by danger and intrigue. With Aliva Valli, Trevor Howard, Anton Karas’ famous zither score--and, of course, Orson Welles (pictured) as the slippery Harry Lime (A&E; Sunday at 8 a.m., Monday at 1 a.m.).
