Carol Reed’s sensitive movie on the Pulp novelist Holly Martins travels to shadowy, postwar Vienna, only to find himself investigating the mysterious death of an old friend, black-market opportunist Harry Lime.This movie owes a debt of gratitude to Graham Greene, a writer who had the most developed sense of intrigue among his contemporaries and one of the best writers of the last century. The movie brought together two young villains of that era, Joseph Cotten & Alida Valli and together they were just firs on the screen.
Alida Valli made the strongest impact in the movie and her one liner dialogues are still famous till date. Orsen Wales portrayed the role of Harry Lame. And he once again proved that the sea of talent within himself still unexplored.
It also helped that a great director, Carol Reed, brought it to the screen. It is rated as one of the Top 5 movies made by the one & only Carol Reed. And therefore is a must see especially for the younger generation. Also watch out for Trevor Howard in a completely different get up giving a light performance.
