The Third Man \u00a9 Dritte Mann Museum<\/p><\/div>
\nWhen it comes to classic movies, The Third Man<\/strong> is up there with the best. That’s why this classic film has a museum of its own in Vienna, the Dritte Mann Museum<\/em><\/strong> or Third Man Museum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Third Man<\/h4>\n

Graham Greene’s “The Third Man”<\/strong>, directed by Carol Reed<\/strong>, was actually filmed in Vienna in 1948<\/strong> during its occupation by the Allied armies.\u00a0 The producer, Alexander Korda<\/strong>, wanted to create a movie about post-war Europe and Vienna provided the ideal and emotive setting. Vienna was at a crossroad moment in its history – the city was divided into four zones occupied by the USA, Great Britain, France and the USSR.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Third Man captures the various aspects of post-war Vienna:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Vienna immediately after the Second World War<\/li>\n
  • Vienna at the beginning of the Cold War<\/li>\n
  • Life in Vienna among the ruins, hunger, demarcation lines<\/li>\n
  • Criminals keeping the economy turning over – the black market, smuggling, espionage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
