Orson Welles makes an extremely evil man seem incredibly likeable. The acting in this film by all involved is top-notch.

THIS IS 100% INCORRECT..Welles only came up with The Cuckoo Clock! I got a link..to a question of what u think Welles Did…When in fact He did Not.. The Third Man (1949) He didn’t improvise the whole speech. He came out with the line [about the] “cuckoo clock”. But nobody knew what was going to come out of his mouth. That was done by the first unit on the set. And he was trying to rewrite that bit, or mess about with it, and that came out in the end. But he certainly did not write the script in any way. It was Graham Greene’s script, and he only has that one big scene in the film where he talks on the wheel. The cuckoo clock line, he can have that one. But most of the scene was Graham Greene’s.

There is something inexplicable which draws me to the roles of Orson Welles. The Martian scare on radio, Citizen Kane, the preacher in Moby Dick and ,of course, Harry Lime in the Third Man are examples that my generation(Baby Boomers) enjoy. An enjoyable experience over and over again can be found. Its too bad that the current generation shows little interest in his classic acting. You will never find the uneasyness in just conversation in todays stuff. This scene is a fantastic example of that. When he opens the door you get the feeling that something horrible might happen. And then you become surprised when it doesn't.

I think that we Boomers should also understand that this kind of somewhat stylized acting has dramatic thrust to us but often rings less genuine to younger generations.

@@daxxkid101I believe he wanted to make a film of Heart of Darkness, the Joseph Conrad story, set in Africa, with him in the Kurtz role. He would have been 64 when AN came out, so at that age and his weight, I seriously doubt anyone would have taken him for a deserter Colonel (though Brando was pretty chunky himself).

Track down the old radio plays, each one is a kind of prequel to the movie and you see that Harry is terrifyingly amoral. Its not just that wants to win, Harry Lime will occasionally put himself in harm's way because that's the best possible deal, not even the best deal for him. If he had to choose between making a hundred by risking his neck and fifty by risking yours he'd absolutely go for the hundred without hesitation ... then figure out a way to get the fifty anyway
