195. The Third Man (#177)

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, and this week with special guest Neasa Hardiman, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. This time, Carol Reed's The Third Man. Holly Martins arrives in Vienna to visit his old friend Harry Lime. However, Holly quickly discovers that all is not what it seems. Harry apparently died in a freak traffic accident shortly before Harry arrived. As British officers start asking pointed questions about the dead man, Holly becomes increasingly anxious that something has gone very wrong. At time of recording, it was ranked 177th on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/the250/~4/TxGg4pDWGdQ" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>
