104 minute running time … zither music fairly maddening plus all the cockeyed angle camera shots, but this is a legitimate classic, a green-go, telling a story of post-war corruption in rubble-strewn Vienna, Orson Welles plays a good bad guy (like he did in The Stranger) … the final scene is perfect and apparently Carol Reed had to fight David Happy-Ending Selznick to get it made right.
