VIENNA NOIR

Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was Carol Reed's film of Graham Greene's

The Third Man (1948)

with Joseph Cotten, Trevor Howard, Alida Valli and Orson Welles.

This is a great film done in post-war Vienna. The city is a major player. The photography is sublime.

The story, at the 5th or 6th viewing still reveals new twists and turns.

"I wonder when they put that bit in".

A staple for the serious film watcher.

I will give it a 5 out of Netflix5.
