This is like an Anti-Casablanca. There is criminals, hideouts, women, and astonishing black & white cinematography. But where Casablanca had some hope and good intentions...The Third Man is a bit pessimistic. It was filmed in post-war Vienna and it really sets quite a mood. The mystery that Joseph Cotten is trying to solve kept me intrigued and the arrival of Orson Welles is so great. That scene in the ferris wheel is definitely the best part.
