THE THIRD MAN
Noir Nights returns with a 75th anniversary screening of the classic THE THIRD MAN!
Starring Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, and Orson Welles, in one of his most iconic roles, THE THIRD MAN was a rare collaboration of legendary producers Alexander Korda and David O. Selznick with Reed teaming with novelist/screenwriter Graham Greene for a second time. An instant critical and commercial sensation, it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, the British Film Academy's Best British Film award, and an Academy Award for Robert Krasker's expressionist black-and-white cinematography, and was also Oscar-nominated for Best Director. Anton Karas' haunting "Third Man Theme," performed by the composer on a zither, was a worldwide hit.
THE THIRD MAN remains the only movie on both the American Film Institute and British Film Institute Top 100 lists of, respectively, the greatest American and British films of all time (the Brits named it their Number One), as well as being named The Greatest Foreign Film of All Time by the Japanese.
