"Третий человек"

[arbeka]

Почему англичане выбрали фильм "Третий человек" лучшим в своем списке, может озадачить современного зрителя.
Меня, например.
Конечно, год. 1949. Для этого времени, вероятно, лента порвала. Что порвала?

Магия Уэллса Орсона? Слаженная работа всех актеров? Ведь сюжет, по нашим временам, слабоват.
И эта музыка, звучащая издевательски...
......................
"По приглашению друга детства Гарри Лайма (Орсон Уэллс) в Вену приезжает автор вестернов, американский писатель Холли Мартинс (Джозеф Коттен). Добравшись по адресу, он узнаёт от дворника (Пауль Хёрбигер), что Гарри совсем недавно погиб в результате несчастного случая, произошедшего прямо под окнами его дома: его сбила машина. Мартинс успевает только на похороны друга, где встречает офицера британской военной разведки майора Кэллоуэя (Тревор Ховард) и загадочную красавицу Анну (Алида Валли)."

Вильма Монтези

Вильма Монтези (3 февраля 1932 — 9 апреля 1953) — итальянская фотомодель, жертва жестокого убийства, оставшегося нераскрытым.
Убийство

Безжизненное тело Монтези обнаружили на общественном пляже в районе Остия, что привело к длительному расследованию, в ходе которого появились сенсационные заявления о наркотиках и секс-оргиях римского общества. Выяснилось, что Монтези состояла в любовной связи с представителями власти.

Обвинение Уго Монтанья и Пьеро Пиччони (сына вице-премьера министра) вызвало скандал, но впоследствии с них сняли все обвинения. Преступление так и осталось нераскрытым.

The body was brought to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Rome, where an autopsy was conducted: the doctors claimed that the probable cause of death would be a "... syncope due to a foot bath," claiming that, most likely, Montesi took the chance of the trip to the beach to eat ice cream (remains were found in her stomach) and made a foot bath in the sea to relieve a nagging irritation at the heels of which she suffered for some time. To do so, Montesi would put off her shoes and socks and, most likely, also skirt and suspenders, and then she dived in the water where she fainted and finally drowned. The coroner reconnected her sudden illness to the fact that the woman was menstruating.

The distance between Ostia (the presumed last sighting of Montesi) and the point of the discovery was justified by saying that the body had been moved by complex combinations of sea currents. An autopsy revealed that the young woman was a virgin and that she had not experienced violence (as evidenced by the fact that the make up was still on her face and nail varnish on her fingernails intact); later, however, another doctor, Professor Pellegrini, said that the presence of sand in her intimate parts could be explained only as a consequence of violence. No traces of drugs or alcohol were found in her body.

Wilma Montesi was from a modest background (she was the daughter of a carpenter). She was born in 1932 in Rome, where she lived in via Tagliamento. At the time of the disappearance, she was engaged to a policeman located in Potenza she was about to marry. She was considered to be very beautiful, she longed to enter the world of cinema and show-business of the Cinecittà studios (she made an uncredited appearance in Prison, Ergastolo, 1952). Everyone described her as reserved and noble, committed on finish the trousseau for the upcoming wedding, planned for the next Christmas.

The body was found by a laborer, Fortunato Bettini, who was having breakfast at the beach. The body was lying on her back on the shore, immersed in water only on the side of the head. The young woman was partially dressed and the clothes were soaked with water: she was no longer wearing her shoes, skirt, stockings, and garter belt and her bag was missing.
