- Hey, people!
How's it going?
We are back again with another MOVIE REACTION/COMMENTARY video!
This was definitely an interesting watch.
I found the viewing experience a bit jarring on this one. It was because I thought Orson Welles was going to be the lead character, front and centre.
I kept thinking to myself, "When is Orson Welles gonna show up?"
And when he did, he dominated the screen.
Overall, I enjoyed it. I definitely ended up appreciating it a bit more after seeing it again while editing.
Anyway...
I hope you have fun watching along with me, and stay tuned for more videos!

My second favorite movie . it helps to see it many times .
The music was written for the film by Anton Karas, who played the zither on the soundtrack.
The Director would spray the cobblestone down with water to get that look in the street scenes, terrific movie and great response to it.
Thanks for sharing that bit of insight. Walter hill went on to do that in Streets of Fire.
stuff like this is always so simple but genious, i wonder when AI editing and CGI will replace the last practical effect
One of the greatest gangsta films eva
Thanks for this very good reaction/commentary.
Carol Reed also directed "Odd Man Out", several years before TTM-- another truly great British film! Anyone who appreciates British cinema, or Third Man in particular, definitely needs to see it.
FYI- the "Third Man Theme" was quite popular. It was released as a single and was a #1 best seller on the Billboard charts for a time.
Thanks for the suggestion. The logine for Odd Man Out is pretty good. As for TTM theme, I noticed that they used it in Better Call Saul. I think I first heard the theme in some advert a while back, can't even remember which one.
Thank you for commenting one of my ten favourites ❤ I can’t count how many time I watched it… !
You are right : Trevor Howard was the hero of Brief Encounter ❤
I’ve seen and read many documentaries about this film and I own the book Graham Greene wrote after he had made the script. The line about the Swiss democracy and the cuckoo clock was invented by Orson Welles and is not in the novel.
They poured a lot of water on the pavement, this and the Dutch angle enforces the suspense and gave you the feeling the views were postcards.
Paul Hörbiger (the porter) was very well known in Vienna and many things were lacking three years after the war, Carol Reed first tried to explain it was a British film, he obtained nothing until he specified that he had this actor in his film, then the Vienneses were eager to furnish whatever he needed 😊.
I hope you will watch Gaslight (Ingrid Bergman’s first Oscar) and Shadow of a Doubt which was Hitchcock’s favourite.
Excuse my mistakes, greetings from France 🇫🇷
I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction, and thank you for leaving such an insightful comment. The things you shared were very interesting and I didn't know those details. Someone else has asked for Gaslight and Shadow of a Doubt so I will be reacting those at some point, so stick around. Also, if by "mistakes" you meant your writing, I didn't see many mistakes. You did fine. 🙏
see The Fallen Idol (1948) directed by Carol Reed who directed The Third Man
That film is a strange product from the Third Man director.
This picture made me ask the question (s): why did Orson Welles (character) fake his own death? Apparently, it wasn't an open casket. Who killed the neighbor upstairs and why. What crime did Orson Welles character commit? And why would Orson's character call his friend of 20 years to be part of this crime/murder coverup?
@@lutherfoust5483 Whenever I’ve had that many questions about a film, I usually trust the filmmaker to satisfy those questions by the end of the movie. But here, I wasn’t familiar with Reed’s work, so at times I felt a bit distant from the story and the plot. I’m pleased to say that I WAS in good hands.
Congratulations on getting this one crossed off your list at last! And hey......Citizen Kane AND Gaslight, holy smokes, you'll freaking LOVE those. Those are must sees, right alongside Third Man (as I know you know!) so I'm REALLY looking forward to whenever you get around to those, especially Citizen Kane. Joseph Cotten also stars in one of Hitchcock's best, "Shadow Of A Doubt", also one for high up on your list. When you want sure things, all three of those titles will deliver!/ This was actually never considered a film noir/since the internet, EVERYTHING gets called a film noir. This was seen as a one-of-a-kind film, but if anything it was going to be categorized as it would be an a postwar espionage drama, or thriller with a European, international flavor. Of course it IS European; it's a British movie, a British director.....with an international cast, including two well-known American actors. It has more to do with spaghetti westerns in a weird way than it does film noir! But because it's in black and white, and has a night scene here and there, they call it film noir now. Totally ridiculous.
PS: Pressed send too soon! Just wanted to add: great commentary as usual, you have a great eye and it really is such a pleasure (and an honour!) to share these first time watches with you.
@@TTM9691 I am humbled by your kind words. I'm also glad you appreciate the content. A lot goes into it. 🙏
Thanks for suggesting Shadow of A Doubt. I'm pretty sure I mentioned in my 12 Angry Men EPIC review. I'm very interested in your take on how The Third Man is more like a spaghetti western. Please fill me in.👍
@@thisisfunhouseentertainment Ha, the spaghetti western analogy! I meant that it's a European production, with a multi-national cast......but with two or three choice American actors/Hollywood stars in the lead roles. The genres and styles are completely different, one is a British film, the others originate out of Italy, but that's what I was getting at.
@@TTM9691 Okay, I understand. Makes sense. 👍
I thought that guitar playing in the beginning credits was Django Reinhardt. Turns out it's Anton Karas playing the zither. Cool instrument to carry the Eastern European vibe. To be honest, I've never seen the 3rd Man, so thanks for the intro. Now once again, I beg you to react to On Borrowed Time, or Captains Courageous.
Welcome back. I've made a note of those suggestions. I already had On Borrowed Time. There's a strategy at work for the channel so you'll have to be patient about the suggestions you give. I'll get to them eventually.
I highly recommend reacting to "The Thief of Bagdad" from 1940 and also Stanley Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" if you haven't seen them!
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Also, thanks for those suggestions. I've seen Barry Lyndon. It's one of my all-time favourites. Thief of bagdad is a little sketchy. I may have seen it as a kid, but can't remember much of it. We'll see.👍
The opening music is my favorite!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

Film buff hasn't seen citizen Kane?
Correct. But that’s going to change.
The Third Man is better than Citizen Kane. Citizen Kane is good and innovative for it's time, but it is extremely overrated
@@mikedbigame3398 I first heard that about Citizen Kane in the TV show Friends. Rachel says she found it boring, but it’s supposed to be a big deal. 😆
@@thisisfunhouseentertainment I'd say that Citizen Kane is more of a Film Maker and Film Student kind of film, because of the camera work and the non-linear storytelling. The average Cinefile would select Casablanca and a number of other films from the era, before watching Citizen Kane.
I don't like the cutting in of other films. No point in that and distracting.
Yes, I would have to agree. Otherwise, it's one of the better film reactions/reviews.
