Among the best of the film noir of the 1940s. Orson Welles steals the show, even though he's in it for only a few minutes, and he utters the most famous line, the one about the cuckoo clock. His character, Harry Lime, was the lowest of the low, but was reformed somewhat for a radio series, a prequel, which starred Welles recreating his role, and a complete transformation to legitimate business man in a TV series, starring Michael Rennie as Lime. Available on DVD with some good special features.

hunterharry2 is right, the second half of the movie is realy good, and better than the first half. The first time we see Welles is just a breathtaking scene and the chasing in the tunnels is pretty mutch classic. Actin isn´t realy anything verry special, with exeptions with Welles, still it´s great acting. Directing is wonderful as well as writing. The Third Man is a classic Noir film, that is recomended for anyone who isn´t one of those who thinks that old movies are boring.
