Harry Lime Theme (Der Dritte Mann, Anton Karas)

[@desgardner7169]

From a 80year old....One of the greatest black and white films ever and probably the finest music to it, every time I hear it, it reminds me of my mother and father who loved it! they don't make them or play them like this anymore.....

[@baileyebner4924]

Actually they do, my mom's Barbara Laister-Ebner, one of the most famous living zither players and she plays the Harry-Lime-Theme every week at the third man tour in Vienna!!!

[@desgardner7169]

Thank you for that information! Take care! @@baileyebner4924

[@margarethachristophersen8781]

I agree.

[@johnbennett7297]

There is something truly magical about this tune, despite hearing it countless times, it still sends shivers down my spine, a true masterpiece. Thank you Anton Karas.

[@peicheelim6176]

Yea... set you straight to happy mood

[@MariaAlvarez-sm8bv]

[@terrycowling6198]

I just got my Dads Collection of 78s out of the loft and this one was on top so I thought I didn't know it, He passed away in 88, So I've just looked it up on KZbin and as soon as I heard it loads of memories came flooding back. Standing on my Dads feet while we moved/danced around the house... Thank You...

[@johnpurchase2545]

When I was in Holland in 1951 I was on a cycle tour and came to Bergen op Zoom where a man in the square was playing 'The third man' on a zither. An unforgettable experience.

[@mimiolsen7676]

Tears come with the memory of my parents dancing to this. Beautiful....❤❤❤

[@bikercowboy1]

Danke für die tollen Fotos mit der genialen Musik vom "alten" Karas.

[@allansouthern7332]

THIS TUNE IS A TIMELESS CLASSIC

[@henryseidel5469]

It was the first movie my grandfather watched in a cinema after coming home from Russia after spending seven years there. Three years as a German soldier, and four years as a prisoner of War.

[@georgebici725]

When visiting Vienna in 1991, I had to go on the Ferris wheel where Joseph Cotton confront Olson Welles on selling watered down penicillin. But oh that closing scene where Alida Valli walks by Cotton with that haunting zither must be the classic of all times. I saw the movie 60 years ago no never get tired of it

[@henryseidel5469]

Do you mean the scene at the entrance of Vienna cemetery ?

[@karlschaerf7694]

I remember, as a kid, my mother (Australian), who married an Austrian (during WW2), raving about the movie, and as much as she loved classical music (she was a trained violinist), one of her great favourites was The Harry Lime Theme, played, of course, by Anton Karas. Bravo! Bravo! (And many thanks to the old bloke, who just rang the ABC Radio Station to which I was listening and reminded me of this piece and days, long past.)

[@geoffmetcalfe9863]

A timeless classic. Thanks for the great music.

[@osf5858]

AHHH, I always think of Orsen Welles when I hear this. He was a great man.

[@bernardhurford1690]

This has been my favourite piece of music since I first heard it when I was six. Now sixty nine and it is still my favourite. Thank you so much for sharing. Greatly appreciated.

[@MariaAlvarez-sm8bv]

One of the best films ever and one of the best and unforgettable film musics!

[@hansstopfer878]

Traumhaft das Zusammenspiel von Zither und Harmonika. Beste Version.

[@joebro7280]

Heard this song years ago in the 2001 movie XXX starring Vin Diesel. It is being played by a musician just as his character, Xander Cage, goes to a nightclub with a cop he met up with in Prague to see if they can see Yorgi and his crew. This tune has stuck with me all these years and it wasn’t until I heard it played by the beatles in the documentary “Get Back” just days ago that I came to know the name of this song!

[@Blumenweltweit]

simply beautiful both in music and picture.

[@hansstopfer878]

Mein Onkel Konrad war auch ein begnadeter Zitherspieler. Vielleicht hat ihn dieses Stück dazu inspiriert Zither zu lernen. Leider ist er schon verstorben. Das Duett mit der Harmonika hätte ich auch gerne mit ihm selbst gespielt. R.I.P. MfG Hans

[@bytraxmedia]

Great images, very atmospheric. The slight sepia tint, the quavering vertical lines to make it look like an old film.

[@1966Hillman]

When you were very young, my love affair with your great city began. It is and ever shall remain my favourite capital city on the planet. Long after the Belvedere Treaty but before the fall of the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe, Vienna still possessed a mystique because it was the “clearing house” between two worlds. As late as the early `80s, Russian was more often heard than English. There was an almost palpable sense of intrigue; one kept one’s business dealings and meetings discreet. Conversations in public places were low-key; the atmospheres of some of the little bars frequented by foreigners on business (sometimes, on whose business was open to question!) like the Conti (now vanished) adjacent to the Bristol on the Kärntner Ring were distinctly surreptitious. This music perfectly conjures up for me those, more recent, times rather than the film itself (which must be one of the dozen best movies of the last century).

[@michaelhuang821]

1966Hillman Beautifully said!

[@1966Hillman]

+jeanbeauchemin, whilst the murky world evoked by Greene in “The Third Man” may have vanished, it has been supplanted by other, equally sinister and threatening, phenomena. My generation of Westerner has not yet realised quite how privileged it was to grow up in an environment of intellectual freedom unparalleled in modern history. This freedom is under assault in Europe and in the USA from governments, which are using pretext of “security” to appropriate for themselves greater controls over media and expressions of thought. For those who achieve it, whether vi et armis or through the ballot-box, power seems an addiction incapable of permanent satisfaction, requiring ever-stronger “fixes” to keep the cravings at bay...... “The Third Man” (aided by a fine storyline and screenplay) may have been one of the greatest examples of the 20th Century cinema; another was “The Great Dictator”, which I was prompted to re-visit by the demagoguery on display in the current US election process; and which should be screened in every secondary school!

[@1966Hillman]

+Michael Huang Thank you.

[@thethirdman2135]

Great comment, I have to go to vienna once a year, just love the architecture and always visit the third man museum

[@effyleven]

Hmmm.. I know what you mean about intrigue in Vienna. Back then I always feared that too many Austrians thought the 'wrong side' came out on top in that nasty business that ended in1945. Do they still feel like that? Do they secretly approve of the individual now in the White House?

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

I wonder if this was the inspiration for "The Spongebob Closing Theme" by Steve Belfer?
