“One of the most dazzling and inventive books I’ve read in a very long time—a novel I continue to describe as indescribable. I’ve now read it twice and can’t decide if it’s a thriller, a farce, a political commentary. I don’t know what it is other than I love it” —Writers at Work

“There was a third man.”

A really brilliant film.

"The cuckoo clock, so long Holly"

Reed's work here was compared to Orson Welles. This looks nothing like a Welles film. It's not exclusively shot in wide angles. The angles are more often than not high above, not from below Welles. It's a visual language of its own.
