Summary
Somewhere in shadowy post-war Vienna, where everyone has something to sell on the black market, lurks "the third man", who witnessed the murder of Harry Lime. The police don't care to investigate, but novelist Holly Martins is haunted by the death of his friend, and his search for the killer makes for electrifying drama.
Editor reviews
Voiced with the just right amount of innocence, arrogance and aplomb by the perfectly cast Kelsey Grammer an American writer, Holly Martin, arrives in the 1947 war-ravaged city of Vienna expecting to meet an old friend but ends up being an amateur detective in a murder investigation. What happened to Harry Lime? Was Lime hit by a car or was he pushed, or was it something else altogether? Grammer‚’s old Frasier partner, John Mahoney, does solid work as the voice of the military investigator, Major Callaway and veteran British actress, Rosalind Ayres, shines as the lost and beautifully enigmatic, Anna Schmidt. This taut audio adaptation closely follows the original Graham Greene film script right down to using the classic Anton Karas theme music. Classic noir.

do de do de do de doooo...... Harry's tune.
This was pretty good but not enough for 5 stars. Kelsey Grammar seems to be angry or just on the verge all the time. His character is quite insensitive when interacting with war weary people who have to be careful what they say. I liked that the tune from the movie was used; it's a good device. The sound effects were very good.

Great story, good supporting cast but oh Kelsey Grammer! Could possibly have been louder had he been speaking into a megaphone. I mean Joseph Cotten was wooden enough but you could have sanded and varnished Grammer’s performance.
