As the film near its end , I was worried and then saw hope for a good ending , I think the way it was shot was brilliant , I thought the end would be his hands thru the grate , but the double meaning of holly both betray but saved him from be captured by shooting him , and so the eventual ending is well done ! I hate when amazing movies have crappy ending so this one left me satisfied !

Watched this many times, but just realised I missed a huge continuity error. As Martins is dropped off to wait for Anna, the jeep drives away.. Not one single leaf on the road. Cut back to Martins and the whole place is full of leafs! How I missed this I have no idea.

They had a man up in a tree slowly dropping leaves. It's kind of unnatural how the leaves drift down in front of the man.

I know that a lot of people think Anna walking past Holly at the end is a sad ending, but I beg to differ. What sort of woman goes to the funeral of the man she loves, only to walk straight into the arms of another man half an hour later? Not the sort of woman you should have by your side. You'd never be able to trust her love or her loyalty. Holly may feel he's lost his love, but he's actually dodged a bullet. Just thought I'd add, Alida Valli later appeared in Les Yeux Sans Visage, and later still in Dario Argento's Suspiria and Inferno. Splendid actress!

Une fin magistrale ! Harry Lime est bien sûr un cynique et répugnant voyou mais il était l'ami de Martins et on ne trahit pas un ami, quoi qu'il ait fait. C'est pourquoi Anna passe devant Martins comme s'il n'existait plus pour elle. Sa trahison l'a rendu indigne d'un simple regard. Une scène digne de la tragédie grecque et du conflit d'Antigone : au-dessus des lois humaines qui veulent le châtiment des criminels, il y a les lois supra-humaines qui interdisent de trahir un ami.

Just caught this final scene on the TV, fantastic from when he gets out of the car 🤩
Im his autobiography, Joseph Cotten doesn't correctly remember this scene exactly as it happened. He says he was puzzled, wondering what Carol Reed was waiting for before calling "Cut" and finally threw his cigarette away in exasperation. But we can see that's not what happened Great scene. .

My favorite final shot of any movie in history. It made such an impact on a young Alan Parker that he pays homage to it in the scene of Billy walking away from the prison in Midnight Express.
@bullettube98638 ай бұрын
I always like this ending, it matched the futile meaning of the whole movie, that people don't plan their lives so much as react and adjust to the circumstances they find themselves in. In other words we play with the hand we're dealt. I also noticed that the leaves falling onto the roadway don't seem to be falling from the trees in the foreground, so they must have had someone above the camera dropping them!

As a youngster I watched this movie with my dad. Despite being one of hundreds, it left a lasting impression I haven't felt duplicated in 65+ years since. I credit the haunting theme of "The Third Man." It's played so effectively on the zither, this closing scene conveys to the viewer the loneliness Anna feels in her walk - as well as the helplessness Martins has in his desire to aid her. This movie's plot, musical score, skillful acting and the camera angles of this closing scene are the sum of it's parts that create this Extraordinary Classic indeed !

Still remember the first time I watched this, when Martins said "One can't just leave", I silently screamed "of course you can". I thought this excellent movie was about to be ruined, but turns out it was setting me up for the best ending ever.

This if the best hauntingly devastating ending of any movie. The nostalgic chaotic chords of Anton Karas drive this post-WWII European film noir to its sad poetic ending. And The Third Man lives on forever with its meaning and romance still haunting us to this day. Beautiful!

I heard that neither Cotton nor Valli knew what was going on when the scene was filmed. Cotton had no idea that Aldi had been told to walk past him. I always thought this was a great Graham Greene moment with devotion and faith edging out earthly compromise but in fact his original ending was a happy one and Reed changed it. Greene later agreed with him.

I don't think Joseph Cotten had any sense of what he was doing in this weird movie, and then it ends up being one of the most iconic roles ever. I think he just thought he was doing a low budget film job and kind of phoned it in, which is beautiful in its own way. Always mesmerized by how this all came together. Kind of a punk rock aesthetic long before anyone had a label for that.
