El tercer hombre

Vienna, 1945. Allied troops have occupied the Austrian capital, and the British, Americans, and Soviets have divided it into sectors. The black market is flourishing. Rollo Martins, a mediocre writer, arrives in the city at the invitation of his childhood friend Harry Lime, only to find he has arrived in time for Lime's funeral. Apparently, Lime was killed after being struck by a car—possibly because, as British Major Calloway claims, he had become the unscrupulous leader of a gang trafficking in medicines. Martins decides to investigate on his own, until a mysterious figure crosses his path.
