The Third Man - The Harry Lime Theme, Orson Welles

[sskenth]

sssshhhh, its a secret..... =)

[Spriter9000]

fun fact : orson welles found this when a hobo played it in vienna, and payed him a shitload of money to play it. the hobo became super rich.

[CyFiSolutions]

@Spriter9000 You mean Carol Reed found him, and he wasn't a hobo he was a performer in a bar where they were doing their location scouts in vienna

[Spriter9000]

@CyFiSolutions pretty sure it was orson welles, but if you say so.

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

@Spriter9000 Carol Reed met Anton Karas in Vienna and invited him to his place in London, England where Karas composed the theme for "The Third Man". As CyFiSolutions said, Karas wasn't a hobo at the time!

Now that I've actually seen this movie, this song now carries a bit of creepy edge to it, now that I know who it introduces.

[inkognitoyou]

is by Anton Karas (AUSTRIA)

I like that Ebert uses this for his new show.

[kisza93]

@MrHannes38 It wasn't a Hitchcock Movie

[mcfrdmn]

Lovely music

[lbm1985]

Still the greatest intro of a character in a film ever.

[Mullahgrrl]

@leahgowan As far as I can remember anyway.

[davidbcalhoun]

This is the theme for the Ebisu subway station in Tokyo :)

[Trencomtrink]

Anybody got the Martin Carthy version?

[disctheory]

[elisabena]

oggi un ritorno dal passato al quale dedico questa canzone della nostra adolescenza,se mai si ricordasse di un giorno piovoso di febbraio di tanti anni fa..,un pianoforte e una ragazzina molto timida...sembravano sentimenti molto grandi.. ora è solo un ricordo sbiadito,è passata una vita,ma questa musica fu il "leit motif"di quel periodo ingrato,difficile,teneramente ingenuo.
