New 4K Restoration!
American pulp novelist Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton) arrives in Allied-occupied Vienna, in search of his childhood friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles). What Martins discovers—beyond the fact that Harry was suspiciously run down by a speeding truck days before his arrival—is a world out of whack, abounding with intrigue and plagued with corruption. Director Carol Reed and Academy Award®-winning cinematographer Robert Krasker’s canted camera angles and richly contrastive film noir lighting enhance the sense of uncertainty, while Anton Karas’s legendary zither score sets the mood perfectly. When one adds the single greatest reveal in all of cinema, what results is an unimpeachable classic of the mystery genre, seen as though it were new following its first major restoration (from the film’s original camera negative).
