The Third Man (1949)
Dir. Carol Reed | 105 mins + extras | B&W | English | PG

This special anniversary screening includes some unmissable extras.

Considered by many as the best British film ever made, we celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the release of The Third Man with brand new exclusive content and a screening of new 4K restoration.
Before the film there is a pre-recorded musical performance from Cornelia Mayer, a Viennese zither player, including insights into the genesis of the score and anecdotes about its composer Anton Karas.
Afterwards there will be a pre-recorded Q&A hosted by film critic and author Matthew Sweet featuring Angela Allen, one of the last remaining Third Man crew members, and fan of the film writer/director Hossein Amini.
