The Third Man Limited Collector's Edition 4K Ultra HD

£44.99

Released: 4th November 2024. 75TH ANNIVERSARY 4K UHD SPECIAL EDITION Carol Reed’s celebrated British noir THE THIRD MAN is widely regarded as ‘The greatest British film of all time’. Brilliantly scripted by Graham Greene and set to Anton Karas’ evocative zither score, this justly celebrated classic is further enhanced by Robert Krasker’s Academy Award ® winning cinematography and Orson Welles in one of his most iconic screen roles. Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton, Citizen Kane), a naïve writer of pulp westerns, arrives in Vienna to meet his old friend Harry Lime (the incomparable Orson Welles) but finds that Lime has apparently been killed in a suspicious accident. Martins, too curious for his own good, hears contradictory stories about the circumstances of Lime’s death and as witnesses disappear he finds himself chased by unknown assailants. Complicating matters are the sardonic Major Calloway (Trevor Howard, Brief Encounter), head of the British forces, and Lime’s stage actress mistress, Anna Schmidt (Alida Valli). Will Martin’s curiosity lead him to discover things about his old friend that he’d rather not know?
