The Third Man strikes a familiar chord with me but I can't place it. Who was in it and what was the plot?:headscrat

How green was my valley or The Egg and I.

"The Third Man" was set in Vienna in 1949. It was a moody film noir about postwar Vienna. The most remarkable thing about it was its use of zither music for the theme. Orson Welles starred in it, IIRC.
