The Third Man

This truly is classic noir. Set in postwar Austria, all about black-market economy, and the general lawlessness of things. Friend is set against friend as ugly truths are revealed.

Of course there is the girl, the damsel in distress. This one keeps the hero around when he should have long since stopped.

McNealy likened, good direction, good acting, incessant music which I didn't think fitted.

Like Casablanca, another film I hadn't seen in the this year, it was a pleasant surprise this classic lives up to its reputation. Definitely one to watch..
