More DescriptionIn the film noir classic "The Third Man", Orson Welles played Harry Lime - rogue, scoundrel, and black marketeer in postwar Vienna. At the end of the film, in a spectacular chase through the sewers of the city, Harry met his end - but in radio's first prequel, Welles resumed the role in "The Lives of Harry Lime", a series produced in England by Harry Alan Towers.
