Introduction: Péter Muszatics, film historian

This is an interesting film not only for it encapsulation of an era, not merely for the appearance of Orson Welles – aka Harry Lime –, not only for its notes of film noir – although some sources prefer to reference it as a thriller –, or for the shadow of the man running through the tunnel, but also because so many people went, and still go, to Vienna thanks to The Third Man. To see with their own eyes the various filming locations. In the movie, Vienna emerges as a remarkable location from both historical and architectural aspects. The Third Man tours are still being organized today in the same way as they are for the romantic opus Before Sunrise. The Third Man is a film about the Cold War and a crossing: crossing to another, and truly chillier era.
