I saw "THE THIRD MAN" last night on DVD for the first time. A film I'd really rather have seen on the big screen. The photography was so wonderful and a small(er) screen doesn' tcut it. The music was very swanky and there was a small piece on the subject on the DVD. It was an obscure instrument that gained huge popularity overnight because of the film and it's theme. Orson was wonderful with what he had. I think the intro by Peter Bogdonovich said it best is Orson's part was a "Star part,' where they talk about him thru the whole film and we just get to see h im at the end. In retrospect it wasn't a great piece of acting by Orson, but the set up is what made it great.
9 bornieo's out of 10!
