Holly Martins, a naïve writer of pulp westerns, arrives in post-WWII Vienna to meet his old friend Harry Lime, but finds Lime has been killed in a suspicious accident. Martins hears contradictory stories about the circumstances of Limes death and as witnesses disappear he finds himself chased by unknown assailants. Complicating matters are the sardonic Major Calloway, Head of the British forces, and Lime’s grieving actress lover, Anna Schmidt. Will Martin’s curiosity lead him to discover things about his old friend that he’d rather not know?

Brilliantly scripted by Graham Greene and set to Anton Karas’ evocative zither score, this justly celebrated classic noir directed by Carol Reed is beautifully captured by Robert Krasker’s Academy Award winning cinematography and Orson Welles in one of his most iconic screen roles.
