The Third Man: Special Edition (2 Discs)

A film of monumental proportions possibly only bettered by Citizen Kane made by the genius of Carol Reed and photographed in glorious black and white by Robert Krasker although always associated and rightly so with Orson Welles, who makes his first appearance after 65 minutes of the film have passed, not to mention the great Joseph Cotten and a true ensemble cast.

One not to be missed. A must for all serious film buffs, a true masterpiece. Need I say more

Clearly the best film ever made. It really is pure magic. An absolute classic got to buy got to watch and basically you have got to love it. I will say again the best film ever made by a person on this planet. i could watch the film over and over again and not get bored ITS THAT GOOD!!!!

But the music and its juxtposistion with the scenes is one of the elements that makes this film! The familar yet quiotic balance between the normal and the unseen that surrounds our lives. And as for the cinematography and composisition its simplistic yet rich tapestry is genius

I brought this film based on the two reviews i had read and the description of the film. The cover also states it's a british masterpeice. While the film was ok it never really got off the ground for me until the end. The music that accopanies the film for me is part of the reason i didnt feel the suspense i probaly should have. I am a real film buff and appreciate the film is 59 years old but if i had seen it before i would not have added it to my collection.

I adored this movie. The direction, cinematography, music and acting were just great. Orson Welles isn't exactly in the film for long, but he makes a big impact. Shows you really how great of an actor he really was. There's also a nice 90 minute documentary on the second disc which is worth checking out. Give it a watch!
