Joseph Cotten is the only star from the film to repeat his screen role (unless you count the zither theme song, which is here too) but the substitutes do well enough – even the Harry Lime stand in, which is a bloody hard role to do well. It remains a terrific thriller, with Cotten poking about post-war Vienna to try and find out what happened to his dead friend Harry Lime. Graham Greene’s story is well condensed by Halstead Welles.
