Capsule Legacy

The Third Man (1949)

Quite possibly the most accomplished B&W photography I’ve ever seen. Airtight script and acting — noirish, but not too wild. Welles is magentic for all 5 minutes. The ending is unexpectedly kinetic but absolutely visual mastery.

Is It Good?

Masterpiece: Tour De Good (8/8)

Note: This capsule review was originally published elsewhere. If I watch this movie again, I might expand this to a full-length review.
