Actually, everything has always happened when Holly Martin enters the scene, an American trashbook author, who in the destroyed post-warwien searches for his childhood friend, a certain Harry Lime: the friend already dead, the police already there, the witness already murdered, the woman already forgiven. "The Third Man", a British classic from Vienna, including "Ruinenlandschaft und Elendsästhetik, mit Zithergeklimper und das unheimlichen Riesenbabykopf des Orson Welles, became one of the really great European post-war films" (Jean Améry).
