If any of you have seen the great Orson Welles-Joseph Cotton film "The Third Man," you know that it was filmed in and takes place in post-WWII Vienna. It's probably the quintessential Vienna movie, in fact. People here recognize that, and 3 times a week at the Burg Kino, they show it.
Well, right after Little Fockers they show it. Anyway, I saw it yesterday afternoon and, for those of you who do know the film, I wanted to post a few photos of some of the locations from it. For those of you who haven't, put it on your Netflix list. It's a classic, and Welles is so much fun to watch even in such a dark role.
Just a couple sites from walking around town:
 |
| The wheel where Holly Martin (Cotton) and Harry Lime (Welles) have a meeting that turns a bit ominous. |
 |
| The spot in the film where Martin first sees Lime in a darkened doorway (doorway is on the far right). It's an iconic scene in film history. |
 |
| The very doorway today |
More later about yesterday, but right now I need to get moving to catch my train to Salzburg.
