The Third Man

[Guest Yachtsman1]

St Swithens day and it's raining. To lighten my mood I have created a show composed of internet shots titled "The Third Man" or Der Dritte Man for Xaver. If you are around my age you will remeber the original 1949 film, or if you watch TV it's been repeated numerous times. It's the story of a drug dealer in post war Vienna, faking his death and a friends search for him. When I saw Peter Mandleson's new book was called The Third Man, my little devils became active. Surely he's seen the film, knows its implications and what us oldies will think???

Great job, but would prefer the original music played on the zither.

[Guest Yachtsman1]

Hi Rick

That is the original music, only change is it was digitally re-mastered. See my previous post for the record lable.

Well, Rick. I guess Eric is right.

But as I remember it from the 1950-radio broadcasting it was a little slower in tempo.

And you can find both versions - and lot of others - on the net.

Apart from the film the story of Anton Karas is quite remarcable.

Hi Guys

Forgot to mention the track on the show has been edited in Audacity, hence the two changes in volume,The track I downloaded was only 2m 20 seconds so I cut & pasted a passage in two separate sections to give me 3m 10s. I've seen the film a few times & I know the tempo & volume of the zither changes with the action, unfortunately my track doesn't, still what can you expect for 69p.

Thanks for the interest. The current Third Man, is in hot water from his ex colleagues in the labour party, it made the 6pm BBC 6pm news.

PS also Question Time at 10.30 & The Andrew Neill show which followed. Bet he's laughing all the way to the bank.

Hi Eric,

Did you mean "Der dritte Mann"? Deutsche Sprache - schwere Sprache!

Best regards

Hi Eric,

I liked it as it bought back a few memorys for me as I was with the RAF at Scwechat

in the early 50s, Which is the main airport now, It was then but slightly damaged.

seeing the Big ferris wheel in the Prater was just great.

The film i saw a few times and enjojed it.

Thanks for the memories.
