The Third Man (1949)

The Third Man (1949) was voted the #1 British film of all time by the BFI in 1999, a testament to Carol Reed's mastery of noir tension in post-war Vienna. Orson Welles' entrance as Harry Lime, framed by a fleeting cat and a severed smirk, occurs at exactly 58 minutes—a moment that reshaped how screen villains are introduced.
