In 1949, an American writer of westerns, Holly Martins, arrives in post-war Vienna to visit his old friend Harry Lime. On arrival, he learns that his friend has been killed in a street accident, and when he meets Calloway, chief of the British Military Police in Vienna, he is informed that Lime was in fact a black marketer wanted by the police. He decides to prove Harry's innocence, but is Harry really dead?

Great film but the sound quality is terrible. I haven't seen a movie where the dialogue has been so hard to understand since Tenet

This was filmed in location in bombed out Berlin. One of my most favourite films. Love it. Man looks for his friend and finds more trouble than he can handle. Joseph Cotton and Orson Welles.

The location shots, atmosphere and photography are almost unequalled. The moral ambiguity is so real, you will never quite wash this off.
