Resumen del Editor

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.

Good Production

Worth hearing for Grammer and Mahoney, as well as the rest of the cast, but definitely see the great movie if you haven't yet.

Greene's tale brought vividly to life

The cast are excellent, bringing this story to life with wit and skill. Greene's story of Vienna's ugly black market trading is carefully recreated by the cast, the soundtrack and the sound effects used, and it works well - it's entertaining and engrossing. Kelsey Grammer gives a particularly praise-worthy performance as Holly Martins.

Frasier fan? you'll love this

loved it!! big Mahoney and Grammar fan, A+ story and acting. absolute superb and a fascinated tale.

Great Thriller

Excellent production of The Third Man. I also really love hearing Kelsey Grammer and the Late John Mahoney. A really wonder cast. My only regret is that it wasn't longer. Time flew by listening to it.

A Classic!

Well done by cast and crew. Included the rationalization about coo coo clocks and the Thirty Years War.

Great acting and soundscape

Great listen. Superb acting and the wonderful soundscape made it like I was right there among the characters, watching it all take place in my mind more like an immersive experience, thanks so much for all thhe great work Top notch adaptation, captured a lot of the subtleties of the original book.

a short read

really nothing to say. hope you enjoy the book. why do I have to type 15 words?

This is NOT Greene's The Third Man

What disappointed you about The Third Man (Dramatized)?

Rather then performing Graham Greene's brilliant play about 1945-46 war-ravaged Vienna, the theater troop change Greene's words, which changes the deep meaning of Greene's sophisticated characters. Much better to buy the original movie and see what Greene originally wrote as a movie.

What could Graham Greene have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Been alive to veto this travesty of his work.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators?

Someone faithful to the writer's writing.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Third Man (Dramatized)?

Cut this whole performance and saved my money for the original movie.

Any additional comments?

I listen to my shelf of Greene audiobooks frequently – all his great novels – but this audiobook is not NOT the spirit or words of Greene's screenplay – so it sits unused as my only bad purchase from Audible. (Thank you Audible for offering this "review" function on your site.)
