Write, write, write

The Third Man is an iconic film noir set in post WWII Vienna - Orson Welles' Harry Lime and the music alone make it worth watching again and again. Here a bit of script gold, original scrip annotations by Trevor Howard, who played Major Calloway.

Gotta love the web - I came across the wonderful place by chance - The Third Man museum page on Facebook - even just going through their photo albums is brilliant.

They've curated everything they could (and can) in connection with the film. Scenes from the shoot, trivia, you name it. And on the occasion of what would have been Trevor Howard's 100th birthday, they got hold of his original script (dated 20 September 1948). The script, of course, was written by none other than Graham Greene.

Here's the two script pages annotated by Trevor Howard pre filming (the full script is apparently on display at the museum in Vienna).
