“The Third Man,” January 17, 2009, DVD. Set in early post-war Vienna, this noir tale of corruption and deceit stars Joseph Cotton, a young Trevor Howard in a great role as a British army MP Lt, and an astounding performance by still beautiful Orson Welles. The scene on the Ferris wheel where Cotton and Welles discuss the value of human life and ethics is one of the most gripping I’ve ever witnessed. Welles is simply amazing as Harry Lime, an American who Cotton has come to visit. We find out much more about Lime from his lover, from his business partners, and from the police. He is or may be dead. See this one.
