Harry Lime, the charming but unscrupulous black marketeer whose greed had cost many lives. Filmed on location in postwar Vienna, the film centers on American author Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten in a great performance), Lime’s good friend, who must come to terms in his own good time with what his friend has done. Welles resurrected his acting career with the role, and it even led to a successful radio program, “Harry Lime.”
