“The alluring, black market atmosphere is like Casablanca with all the idealism sucked out. It’s a movie where the hero is a loser and the movie star is a heel. Yet The Third Man plays like a jaunty, almost farcical affair. The film bobs and weaves to the jangling zither music of Anton Karas, so that these characters seem to be dancing through the rubble.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 09/02/2026
