Mark Kermode reviews The Third Man | BFI Player

Revisiting Carol Reed's timeless thriller, The Third Man, once voted the greatest British film of all time. One of the greatest British films, Carol Reed's classic very consciously emphasises its time and place - post-war Vienna - yet its resonant themes around loss of innocence and a fall from grace render it timeless. Joseph Cotten plays the writer searching the Austrian capital for his missing friend, Harry Lime. He's disturbed to discover that Lime recently died, but soon begins to doubt the official version of events.
