The Third Man
The British Film Institute has rated this film as the ‘Best British film of the 20th-century’ – and for good reason. Carol Reed’s stylish thriller represents the almost perfect film noir with a story that follows Joseph Cotton’s character as he wanders Vienna’s dark night streets in search of his childhood friend, Harry Lime (Orson Welles). In tribute to the 50th anniversary of the film’s release, the Filmmuseum is screening a freshly restored copy.
