I like a good Western. That’s what I like about them, sir. You can pick them up and put them down anytime.

Vienna doesn't really look any worse than a lot of other European cities. Bombed about a bit.

all's well that ends well! ladies and gentlemen, i have much pleasure in introducing mr. holly martins, from the other side.

He's only a scribbler with too much drink in him. Take Mr. Holly home.

That's Mr Martins' little joke, of course. We all know perfectly well Zane Grey wrote what we call "westerns."

We just watched an episode of Richard Ayoade's Travel Man where they do The Third Man tour and are underwhelmed. Hats off to whoever had the idea to turn the actual sewer system into a tourist trap.

I am annoyed that's not an actual quote from the film.

iirc there is a cut and change of location between the two halves of this line, implying payne has been enthusing cheerfully about westerns for an entire jeep ride

Truly delightful character, responsible for one of the most clever tricks in cinema.

Am I wrong in thinking that for some movies, excessive quoting drains the life from them, but not this one?

I watched this with my 12 yo and we got to the last scene where the leaves are falling and Anna walks by Holly without acknowledging him and I started laughing…my kid looked at me strangely and I told him he’d understand when he’s older

Great write up above Alfred.
Long goodbye really ripped this off didn't it? Uber-righteous friend tries to help out pal who ends up just wanting to screw him over; complicated love-interest involved

Thank you!
No need to worry about spoilers for a movie more than 20 years old; that's my rule in class at any rate.

Ah but there's still bums like me around who benefit from them, not that I hold it against anyone with a differing philosophy
― H.P, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:51 (three months ago) link
H.P., that's interesting! The final shot of Long Goodbye is very similar as well, to the point where it seems like it has to be an intentional homage or at least a wink for those in the know.
