COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Best Suspense Film Not By Hitchcock submitted by Caser on July 24, 2008, 2:32pm Sir Carol Reed directs the idiosyncratic 1949 film, The Third Man, set in Vienna just after WWII. Although the discovery of the mysterious identity of Orson Welles' character ostensibly drives the plot, Anton Karas' off-beat rhythms and eastern European instrumentation are the true engine to this film. Any Oscar awards viewer has been subject to the overlong montages to great films of the past, and has probably seen many of the classic scenes from The Third Man, but it is a disservice to show the film's footage without the fantastic score. Audiences will undoubtedly enjoy Reed's craft for edge-of-your-seat suspense sequences, but try closing your eyes and listening to one of these scenes and you'll enjoy at least 75% of the film's greatness.

A GREAT movie, a TRUE Classic. Read the first review and go see it and find out what a real great movie should be submitted by Tassos on December 26, 2019, 6:24am Because Hollywood is not to make one for you.

Best movie soundtrack ever submitted by mandevil on December 8, 2021, 5:50pm The music totally makes this movie. The cinematography is terrific. Orson Welles nails it as the despicable cad.
