Oh, that casual smile and those restless eyes, Orson.
Such a villain.
really good video about my favourite late night movie to watch when everyone else has gone to sleep. love the description of the score as something you might hear at a Clown's Funeral.
A detail about the cinematographer, Robert Krasker, was he was the original DP on David Lean's Great Expectations (1946). Early in the shoot, there were complaints that Krasker was not getting enough contrast onto the screen (too much gray). Lean was so disappointed by the dailies, he had Krasker fired and replaced by Guy Green (who won the Oscar for best cinematography). Bob Krasker was so upset about being fired and loss of reputation, he went to town on The Third Man and cranked up his contrast levels to eleven, proving David Lean wrong.
In my book, The Third Man is one of the greatest movies ever made.
Once seen, the originality makes this movie "stick!"
The music is so original. It becomes the "conscience" of the film.
Americans need to see the movie to get a sense of "post-war Europe."
Orson was great, but so was Joseph Cotton and Alida Valli.
Seeing it one summer at 12 years of age, the emotions I felt forced me to ask my Mom for another quarter so I could go back to see it again just to figure it out.
In my book it is one of the greatest movies ever made! Once seen, never forgotten!!!
Loved this video.
My grandparents grew up in Vienna during the time the movie was shot.
You did both the city and the movie justice!
Great line at the end, that boldness last! I love this movie and you did a great analysis of it.
I don't normally subscribe to a channel after just one viewing of one's work, but you got me. Absolutely excellent.
And personally, I think that "The Third Man" is a much better film than "Casablanca".
Well dang! This is proof that TH-cam has issues with how it does it's thing! You've been around for years, and I've never heard of this channel until today, thanks to a shout out from Ordinary Things! And I have been actively looking for content like this and TH-cam just pushes the same content creators over and over! So glad I know you exist!!
This video is top notch, the opening was perfect! That needs to be on shirt, haha! Your voice is perfect for this subject; I'm usually futzing about with my video games, drawing or cleaning, so when someone has a voice that is easy to listen to it makes everything else I'm doing more enjoyable. I also appreciate how this video is staged outside instead of in a house, haha! I sometimes get distracted with the background and decorations in a the house/room of other TH-camrs. I appreciate the time you took in making this video!! I'm excited for each video you make! I'm now looking forward to watching this movie again with a whole new perspective! A million thanks!!
Would you be willing to look into Laugh Clown, Laugh? 1928, Starring Lon Chaney and Loretta Young.
It is still one of the most captivating and beautiful movies I've ever seen that really empathized the beauty and sorrow of unrequited love.
Well done. Again you managed to cut between your own commentary, doc footage, and clips from the film, and you cut it all together while presenting us with your admiration for this classic.
It's amazing the great films that Orson Welles was either in or created, and had difficulty being in or creating them. Despite budget concerns, studio interference or his ability to sometimes just finish a film, Welles left a distinguishable fingerprint on everything he came in contact with.
Maybe the fact he strayed from the university trappings in favor of gaining an education roaming foreign countries and mixing with dignitaries gave him the ability to make films with the same intrigue and flavor those places brought him.
We'll be lucky to find another personality with as much character and ability as Welles in this era.
Personally, he's one of my favorite 3 directors along with Hitchcock and Ford.
Fir ne, these three films are in a tie as the best movies ever:
* The Third Man (Carol Reed, 1949)
* Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941)
* The Searchers (John Ford, 1956)
I love those movies. I watch them anytime, anywhere I have the opportunity.
Similarly, Wyler's 'Ben-Hur', Hitchcock's 'North by Northwest', and Kubrick's '2001: An Space Odissey' are also huge favorites.
I have lost count of how many times I have seen them.
Very good video!!👍👏
Subscribed!
Good insights told without critical BS. Thank you!
Harry Lime is the best villain ever . Far better than The Joker and all them .
Harry is believable.
Oh man, how I love this movie! Great job! In my eyes, a perfect film; all the elements come together. And savagely funny as well.
This young man has done his research,knows what he’s talking about, and it shows. Great work! I’m going to be a follower...
Without doubt my favourite film, a perfect ten! In 1987 I was visiting Vienna and had a spare afternoon so went to see a matinee of The Third Man, there were only a dozen people in the cinema, it was a magical experience. My father served in the British army of occupation in 1945-46 and as a child in the 1950/60s I knew real life personalities just like Major Calloway and Sergeant Paine.
This is often recognised as the greatest British film ever made. I’d go further and say it’s one of the greatest films ever made, never mind British. There’s an argument that it is certainly the best Film Noir ever made. Of course, Americans might not like that a non-US film might take that title, I dare say.
I have seen more than 2000 movies. The Third Man was one of the best.
I enjoyed your "mini-lecture" on one
of my favorite films. Being a very
old person, I have time to see it 50
or more times; very often in theaters.
I was stationed in Germany in the
early 50's, so that lent a certain
special tone to my viewings.
I am now one of your subscribers
and am looking forward to future
videos.
Great analysis of one of my all time favourite films. Thankyou.
Let’s not forget how great Trevor Howard is in the movie as well.
Yeah and he's in another great movie that is worth checking out Brief encounter.
A good choice of an often overlooked film.
Thank you very much for your brilliant analysis of this film, for the catchy title to the video, and your fresh look into a movie that has been talked about for over 74 years and still manages to fascinate viewers to this day...
Wonderful click bait title to this video. Almost perfect in it's cynicism. Channelling Harry Lime perhaps? I hope so. Otherwise I can find no other explanation.
You keep making these, I'll keep watching them
This has always been my favourite movie for so many reasons. Great analysis, liked and subbed.
I think Anna Schmidt was the most poignant and noble character. She remained uncorrupted and uninvolved in the brutal slaughter. An artist who only performs comedy, she bravely walks off, rejecting all the corruption, pain and tragedy, but we know she's doomed. The Soviets will take her; they despise the Czechs, so her future is dark and unknown. Martins seems to me a commentary on the Europeans' view of Americans. No wars occurred there. Martins was boneheaded in his attempts to assert his "rights". He was innocence as stupidity. Anna was innocence as victim. One of the greatest films I've ever seen.
Great video, you get this film 100% and your film really works spot on for the telling of the story. Love this film!
I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed that movie when I finally saw it. I think of another film at the same time similar but very different, the shadow version of the 3rd Man … "One, Two, Three"
I love this movie. Always have. The atmosphere got me first, as I saw it when very young. Then the music. Later, I loved the story. It builds so slow, but so good. Subtle and mysterious.
A very good analysis of one of my favourite films
Beautifully done. Thank you.
The music is jaunty but somehow empty....soulless. And perfect.
As you say , it's a movie that repays digging. The profundity of the resurrected imperfect messiah figure is something that interested Greene and reverbs in some of his writing.
"playful, yet nostalgic, like something you would play at a clown's funeral"---subscribed
I can't remember where I heard this, but someone described this film as the 'anti-Casablanca'. Casablanca is about the U.S. waking up and doing the right thing by getting involved in the war. The Third Man is like a message to the Americans that they don't know what they've gotten themselves into by entering the global power struggle after the war, particularly in Europe.
Orson had a fantastic radio series in the 50s The Adventures of Harry Lime. It was out of England by Harry Allen Towers. Very well Witten, encompassing the spirit of the movie.
This film is definitely one of my favorites too. Just for the hell of it, here are a few random criticisms. These are mostly of the script, though, not the film.
In the opening scene, the Porter says he only knows a little English, but he proceeds to lay out the events explaining Lime's absence pretty clearly.
The idea of the unexpected death is a clever way to open the story, but the roles that Lime's accomplices play are those of clumsy and amateurish villains. I don't know much about the professionalism of British soldiers, when they were stationed in Vienna - following the war - but it seems unlikely Lime's little troupe could have gotten away with their plan, even if it were it not for Martins, inadvertently helping Calloway. He'd already made good progress, right? It's also a bit of bad planning on the part of Lime; wouldn't he have been better to let things settle down a bit, after his "death", before inviting Martins over to reconnect with him?
At the meeting on the bridge, the doctor rolls up on his goofy-looking bicycle, and the three friends of Lime don't make an especially menacing trio. Only Popescu seems like someone you'd want to avoid in a dark alley. The remark about "you'll never be able to teach these Austrians to be good citizens" always struck me as peculiar; Do Austrians have a reputation for lawlessness I should know about? Or did the Romanians have some kind of ongoing feud with the Austrians, for some reason?
I always feel slightly short-changed by Anna's reaction when she learns that Lime isn't dead. Wouldn’t that be astonishing news - and cause for incredible joy from her? She reacts as if she's found an earring she lost in the bathroom. I'd even say it's strange how unmoved she is by Lime’s disappearance in the first place; when Martins meets her backstage at the Josefstadt theater, she's practically indifferent. That’s an odd part of the story; why wouldn't Lime have told her of his plan in the first place? - he trusted his male friends, after all. It's hard to believe he would've wanted to ditch her.
I've read too many narratives comparing the humble, bumbling American, embodied by Martins' out-of-place character, with the old-world cynicism and sophistication of the Europeans, captured by Anna’s stoicism and the behavior of nearly all the other characters. I just don't get that. Are we Americans really the naive simpletons everyone seems to think? I guess in this film, the answer’s yes. Come to think of it, I think Greene was British, so that might explain it.
There’s one other scene that’s always bothered me; when Calloway takes Martins to the bar, when they first meet, there’s a really lousy bit of continuity, with Martins getting punched in one direction but then hitting the ground in the other.
Factoid; In the final shot, they had guys up on very high fire department ladders, dropping a few leaves. P.S. These are all just nit-picky things; the story works beautifully and I wouldn’t change a thing.
11:59 I bought a postcard with the final shot of The Third Man about 15 years before I saw the movie. It did not say what it was from, just the image of him leaning on the cart, the girl, and trees to the horizon.
I must have seen this movie two or three dozen times, you notice little things when you watch it over and over. The Third Man is my favorite movie. Fallen Idol is also great
Visit Vienna in midwinter and go to the Central Cemetery to see the settings in the film near the Soviet section. Take a Third Man tour in the dark, not a lot has changed.
It has been too long. I must see it again…👏👏👏👏
the ending is amazing, but my only criticism there is, what's up with the falling leaves? It's winter, there are no leaves on any of the trees. And they're only falling immediately in front of the camera. Maybe Reed thought that a scene like that required more motion but--and i know this is like criticizing the mona lisa or kane (who do i think I am?)--but i would've preferred no leaves. Otherwise, a 99.9 percent perfect film
Thanks. This was great.
I made a point to visit the Prater amusement park when I visited Vienna 20 years ago.
My only objection: the last shot: those trees are denuded, bare, clean as a whistle from leaves and yet leaves fall. I've seen this film numerous times for decades and never noticed that until recently.
Like Casablanca the audience is left with that uncomfortable feeling that hero,doesn't always "get the girl"
Solid film but the lack of anything about Cricket made me wonder if it was a really a British film at all.

I generally detest when essayists cut to themselves in their essays (it undermines the feeling of being transported), but you pulled it off.
Welles actually spent many years on radio and tv shows of the 60s and 70s claiming that he wrote and directed parts of the film, and the influence of Welles is allover the film. Fallen Idol uses some canted angles, but it's nowhere near in the class of 3rd Man, and even Fallen Idol is a bad aping of Welles' earlier films. Welles' DNA is all over the film, whereas Reed was a solid studio director. He never before nor after the film came within a light year of as great a film. Welles made great films regularly.
Welles never claimed he helped direct The Third Man nor write any dialogue apart from the cuckoo clock speech. Peter Bogdanovich cleared this up several times.
@@TheSnowmanBKK Throughout the 60s and 70s Welles did tons of interviews on his career, on radio and tv, and he often claimed he played a greater role- I saw and heard this many times, and it was common knowledge that this was so. It was only after Welles' death that others started claiming he did not. Here and there, if on the spot, he'd waffle, but it's clear from any look at the works of Welles and reed that 3rd Man is Wellesian.
In a similar way the original Planet Of The Apes has been de-Serlinged, even though the sctrpt has Serling's DNA all over it.
I still don't understand why the video is titled what it is.
Wait--how did the movie "fake" its death???
It's makes more sense after you see the movie.
@@FrickFrack I've seen the movie and enjoyed it. So how did the *movie,* not a character in the movie, fake its death?
@@macsnafu The movie contains a death. But it turns out the death was faked. So the movie contains a "fake death". Or you could say the moved faked the death that it contains. Faked it's portrayed death. Faked it's death.
Yes, the logic is stretched and the phrasing is odd. But I think the video name is intended to be intriguing but not too much of a spoiler.
My best guess.
Graham Greene.
I wrote a lukewarm review of this on a movie site and boy did I get it from all sides. I should have worm a flak jacket...lol
great video, but you gotta fix the whistling s's when you're speaking it's very loud and distracting. thank you.
Can I get your feedback on pronunciation of Casablanca? it's supposed to Blahnca, but so many say Blanka. But Blahnca is the name of the place. just because some american actors couldn't properly pronounce it doesn't mean we should all fumble it too, does it?
At the 7:35 mark where the score is discussed I couldn't help but think of SpongeBob.
Nice
Like in the movies Forbidden Plant and Deliverance, the sound track of The Third Man is inseparable from the movie. Take it away and the movie would feel flat, dull, soulless.
He didn't get away with it. He died like a rat in a sewer.
That notorious line maligning and mocking perfect little Switzerland, apropos of nothing and disgustingly coy, ruins the whole movie for me.
A rather forced, wordy little (fake) history lesson Wells came up with to underscore Lime’s callous self-justification. He actually seems to struggle a bit to keep the moment physically alive - backing away, fiddling with his glove (?) keys (?) - long enough to spit the line out. Doesn’t at all destroy the film for me. Lime is a criminal who would see the world through a distorted, lying lens. And probably no offense intended to Switzerland : )
Great piece on my favourite film, bar none.
Terrific job! Not clickbait at all (it's a spoiler if we say why the name of the video suits the movie). Or you can Google "Harry Lime"-an unforgettable, unique character in an unforgettable, unique film. For a similar postwar city location film w the opposite (much more optimistic) tone, also take a look at Roman Holiday.
