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)."

Elizabeth Varley (26 September 1909 – 6 May 2002), born Elizabeth Susan Douglas-Scott-Montagu, was the daughter of John Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu. She pursued careers in the entertainment industry, literature, and advertising.

She travelled extensively throughout Europe in 1935–39, and also studied at a piano school in Switzerland. When asked about her racial background while applying for a visa at the German consulate in St. Gallen, she angrily swept items – including a portrait of Hitler – from the desktop onto the floor. Her passport was confiscated.[1]

She was sent to France at the start of the Second World War as an ambulance driver. After her unit retreated to Bordeaux, she refused to leave and hid at a friend's home for several months. On a train to Switzerland she noticed she was under surveillance, so she asked two hat salesmen for help at the next station. She escaped while hidden under the boxes in their car.[1]

While working at the Political Intelligence Department at the British Embassy in Berne, she translated material from within Germany, including information on what was happening at Treblinka extermination camp.[1]
