Editorial Review (from Amazon.com)

The Third Man represents a milestone in British cinema; the collaboration between Graham Greene, the director Carol Reed, and Orson Welles who plays Harry Lime, created an impact which has never lost its force. This edition consists of the original screenplay, and includes a detailed analysis of the changes made during the shooting of the film--a fascinating study of the relationship between author and director.

Emily S. thinks this book is Good.

The writing in this book is tremendous and engaging. I particularly enjoy writers who write well crafted sentences that do more than convey meaning. This book definitely is well written. That said, I didn't find the plot and characters anything more than average. The characters are engaging, the plot moves along at a nice tempo, but it's not one of my favorite books of all time. It's a quick read, prefect for summer.
