    Don't miss this great cinema!
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2016*

There are probably many, including myself, who have not had the pleasure of seeing this film before. I know that some of the younger generation eschew monochrome films and in so doing, deny themselves access to some of the greatest film made during the last century. The Graham Greene story is pretty lightweight but it's realisation makes it, for me, one of the great cinematic experiences of my picture-going life. I'm not a lover of Joseph Cotton, the leading man, but the leading lady is an actress of considerable talent and Orson Wells, in the title but fairly small role, gives a touch of star light to the film.There are splendid touches - notably, for me, the parts played by a small boy and a tiny kitten but It is the photography and the lighting, and the wonderful scenery of post-war Vienna which define the film's - and the director's genius. (I don't know how they managed to shoot so many scenes in completely deserted streets!)If you are young, take a chance and you will not regret it. If you are old, like me, you will delight in the visual and atmospheric quality of the experience: and it will be strangely familiar to anyone who lived through the last war and the aftermath of bombed-out streets and derelict architecture.

    Great - but no ***** subtiles.
  

*by P***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 June 2020*

Given that Amazon's boss is the richest man in the world - could he not spend a little bit of money on giving films bought on Amazon Prime subtitles? It seems not.I will buy from elsewhere in the future.Having said that - The Third Man has been well restored, and if you have not seen it,  please do.  It is one of the great classics of the cinema - and influenced numerous other filmmakers.

    Two flaws
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2020*

Why was this masterpiece so needlessly marred?  One flaw is well-known - what is meant to be the same cat is all too obviously three.  Even if the long shot was done on location in Vienna and the close-up back in a British studio, couldn't they have found a reasonable lookalike?  Less famously,  in the introductory sequence (with Reed's voice-over) on occupied Vienna a shot of military vehicles and personnel (presumably taken from a newsreel) has missing frames.  It cannot be (as in Criterion's THE FALLEN IDOL) subsequent damage because the voice-over continues across it.  Why was the shot chosen?  Nowadays CGI could remedy both problems, though it's a question whether anyone would pay for it.  (A small curiosity: originally, the voice-over returned when Welles shot Bernard Lee.  That has gone.)
