The Third Man (1949): review: 10/10

Just after the war an Amercan  writer of Westerns goes to occupied Vienna to take from emploment from his old friend Harry Lime, a racketeer.

The themes of friendship, evil, love, and loss are pursued though Graham Greene's witty script- the film wears its messages lightly, it's seriousness countered by playful aesthetic effects of lighting, music and an almost insoucient acting style.
