The Third Man (1949) was a Cold War-era thriller directed by Carol Reed (Night Train to Munich), based on the novel by Graham Greene, and starred Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Trevor Howard, and Orson Welles. The film is widely considered to be one of the greatest motion pictures of the twentieth century.
