The Third Man 11 Jun 99

(Release of slightly longer European version, previously unseen in the US.)

One of my top ten films favorite ever; a wonderful noir view of the post-WW2 world, set in a shattered Vienna but pitting two Americans against each other and Europe both. Contains three of the best moments in film ever and score you've heard even if you don't know where it was from. A+



I can remember a time when where we went to the movies was just as important as the movies we went to see .... From the moment moviegoers arrived to buy their tickets, there was a sense of something special, a feeling that to step inside was to enter another time and place. - Gene Kelly
