The Third Man1949
Hunted by men ... Sought by WOMEN!
In postwar Vienna, Austria, Holly Martins, a writer of pulp Westerns, arrives penniless as a guest of his childhood chum Harry Lime, only to learn he has died. Martins develops a conspiracy theory after learning of a "third man" present at the time of Harry's death, running into interference from British officer Major Calloway, and falling head-over-heels for Harry's grief-stricken lover, Anna.

114Of all the movies I have seen, this one most completely embodies the romance of going to the movies.
#重看#奥胖实力抢镜,虽然出场戏份并不多,但戏眼全在他身上,包括那些倾斜+仰视的镜头,也渗透了其个人风格,只能说他的全能天才魅力的确无可抵挡。 地面上的残垣断壁、地下暗道如迷宫,正是战后龙蛇混杂的环境,四国割据/瓜分的状态——正是绝佳黑色电影的背景;表现主义遗风浓郁——影子投射于墙的惶惶,螺旋楼梯的无穷无尽,夜雾中依稀涌现的人影,街上响起的急促脚步声,隐匿在阴影里的脸部。 这一切不仅仅是一桩谋杀案,更折射美苏对立+互相与欧洲的关系,三流小说家的美国身份设置和场景放在维也纳都显得意味深长。故意提问“怎么看乔伊斯”是格雷厄姆·格林有意为之。 夜戏/下水道追逐戏太棒;哈里惊闻四方声音与霍利在街上看到无数眼睛偷窥呼应。
A triumph of disparate tones, colors and intentions. Like many, I have loved this thriller of conscience and betrayal most of my moviegoing life...Its brand of romantic fatalism is particularly seductive to teenage males, I think, and those who never fully recover from that moviegoing state of being.
