About The Third Man: 75th Anniversary

Celebrate the 75th anniversary of one of the masterpieces of cinema. Directed by Carol Reed (The Fallen Idol, Oliver!) from an original script by acclaimed novelist Graham Greene, The Third Man won the Grand Prix at Cannes and the BAFTA for Best British film.

Oscar-winning cinematography showcasing the shadowy underbelly of a bombed-out Vienna, an endlessly quotable performance by Orson Welles and an iconic soundtrack from zither player Anton Karas all combine to make one of the most memorable thrillers of all time.
