Why is it that I found this 75 year old film more enthralling and entertaining than most films I’ve seen from the last decade?

[@DistantLights]

Because Orson Welles is a genius and one of the goat directors

[@skyedog24]

Conversely for the same reason that I haven't seen a movie in the last 20 years that's interesting.... 🤔

[@danieleyre8913]

@@skyedog24 I enjoyed a great film last night that was made at the end of 2022 called “the whale”. There’s always been great cinema & terrible cinema (and average cinema). My point isn’t to denigrate cinema from the last decade. Like cinema from any time; most of the cinema from the last decade is rubbish, some of it is good and some of it is average. But more to underline that this film from 75 years ago was more entertaining and enthralling than most films I’ve seen in the last decade. Maybe studios should have a rethink about how films should be made (and save themselves a lot of money)? Most cinematic productions from 75 years ago were as much rubbish as most of what has come out in the last decade, this was among the better one’s.

Read somewhere that this is the only film directed by Welles that did not exceed the budget nor the shooting days schedule and ended generating a profit. Of course he did not have complete control of the movie like he had in his more personal projects but his direction was impecable and the movie is a great one, very entertaining.

Welles a dit que c'était un de ses plus mauvais films, c'est vrai et malgré ça, il est meilleur que 90% des films des 20 dernière années... ça c'est effrayant !

[@antoinemozart243]

@@Niko3387Y il ne parlait pas de son interprétation mais du scénario. Welles disait que sa présence physique était trop envahissante, qu'elle faisait exploser l'écran, et cela n'avait rien à voir avec son interprétation. Il avait tout à fait raison . Il voulait que le détective soit joué par une femme ( Agnès Morehead). Et bien je pense qu'il avait encore raison. Cela aurait créé un déséquilibre inquiétant et non ce duel de deux acteurs envahissants comme Welles et Robinson. Personnellement je trouve que le film est très moyen. Et cela n'a rien à voir avec le sujet ( recherche de criminels nazis) qui a été très peu exploité par la fiction depuis.

@@martynhanson That film is as eccentric and nonsensensical as a lot of his other stuff. He has little maturity or restraint, so many of his films feel extremely hamhanded.

A Welles classic though apparently he wasn’t a big fan himself which is a shame as it is excellent and Welles himself makes a great villain. Edward G Robinson moved from gangster to a much wider variety of roles ranging from this to children’s adventure to sci-fi and here he is on top form. Loretta Young becomes more alive in the second half of the film and the final scenes in the clock tower are perfect.

I don't agree. "The Third Man" raises all kinds of questions about friendship, talent, greed, loyalty... "The Stranger" is a garden variety cat- and-mouse melodrama without much to recommend it in terms of suspense and character development.

A vastly entertaining Welles attempt at creating a bonafide Hollywood entertainment. Not one of his seminal achievements perhaps but far superior to similar films of its type. Welles even thought of initially considering Agnes Moorehead in the Robinson role. Now that would have been interesting even though the latter nevertheless did a fine job.

[@davidrosler5413]

IMHO, the second best of Welles' movies after Kane and his only big box office success. i know sophisticated critics rate other Welles movies as much higher, but this movie has it all in terms of what movies are really supposed to do. When given a budget Welles was always a genius. His direction of his actors is perhaps the finest of any Hollywood director in history. You never see any thing but great performances from his Hollywood cast's, and that's an amazing record. Great, great movie, this one.

[@esmeephillips5888]

It was a moderate hit, after two flops and his Brazilian fiasco. He had a four-picture deal with Spiegel, but for unknown reasons it was dropped. Typical of the financial mishaps and tangles Welles kept getting into. You have to suspect that the shrinks are right about accident-proneness.

I read he originally wanted his friend (and original member of his Mercury Players) Agnes Moorehead to play the investigator but the producers insisted on Eddie G to booster its box office appeal. Agnes was a truly gifted actress & could have done wonders with the role (though of course Eddie G is xlnt, as always).

[@stephenwitherington879]

@laurahoward5426 Do we ever really know how old anyone is/was? So many lies have been told over the years that we can't afford to believe too much. I was a small boy when Long died, & the contemporaneous report gave his year of birth as 1925. I'll stick with this rather than place fresh reliance on latter-day rhetoric. The historian should always be cautious in assessing details written up well after an event because these are frequently penned to fit in with later ideas & bear no reflection of what was actually the case. Alexis de Tocqueville put it well: "History is a gallery of pictures; with many copies, but few originals". Quite so.
