“And What Did That Produce? The Cuckoo Clock.” (The Third Man)
Orson Welles is a legendary figure in the mind of every movie buff out there, and rightly so. Besides being an outstanding director, screenwriter, and producer, Welles was also a very talented actor who knew how to deliver on the spot—even if his lines weren’t scripted!
A great example of that is his speech in Carol Reed’s The Third Man, a 1949 film-noir thriller about a man investigating a murder in postwar Vienna. In 2015, The Third Man made it back to the theaters after being digitally restored in 4K.
