Two Line Reviews - #146

Movie: The Third Man (1949)


Plot: On a visit to his friend's place seeking a job, a US based crime novel writer finds that his friend has been killed in an accident. He investigates and suspects it to be a murder and tries to solve it with the help of his friend's love lady & bumps up on some vicious revelations.

Highlights:
  • The cinematography of this yesteryear film is exemplary.
  • Joseph Cotten's humourous cum sensitive role.
  • The climax drainage scene looked special.
Lowlights:
When a lot of puzzles are expected to be solved, the film takes a plain straight path as it builds up towards the climax.

My Rating: 9.2/10
