Jordan RuntaghHOST
Luckily, he said, Tony was so wonderful that you start to root for him.
Jordan RuntaghHOST
Todd does not appear in the film until 44 minutes in, which was something that Bernard Rose said was inspired by Orson Welles' classic, The Third Man.
Jordan RuntaghHOST
Every single conversation in the first half of The Third Man is about Harry Lyme, he says.
Jordan RuntaghHOST
So when Orson Welles finally appears, it's one of the great entrances in film history, because you're just dying to hear what he's got to say.
Alex HeiglHOST
So this is interesting, because, and I'm even leery to say this, because I'm telling, I'm now telling...

Alex HeiglHOST
Ultimately, though, Tyler continued, I appreciate the steps taken by Bernard Rose and the rest of the crew creating the story in this way.
Alex HeiglHOST
But at the same time, it's definitely a teachable moment where you're like, you can do even better than this.
Alex HeiglHOST
So again, this gets to my idea that I'm like, well, I think Bernard Rose had like pre-movie justifications as the third man and like Jaws and all this stuff for not revealing Tony Todd until 45 minutes in.

We were on the same page of what type of black and white photography that I like and sort of very long shadows and, you know, people standing under lampposts, things like that.
Jennifer BarbotGUEST
I did watch several movies and Oren always cited The Third Man as a touchstone.

James MillerGUEST
I think my generation had it so easy that to go back to, I mean, I'm a big, um, early movie sort of buff and, uh, I watched things like the Odessa file and, um, things like it's called, I think it's the train where you had Burt Lancaster getting the art from World War II and it's just incredible movies and they're very well done.
Kate WestworthHOST
And yet, Joseph Cotton starred in some of the most important films of the 20th century and held close creative bonds with legends like Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock.
Kate WestworthHOST
He famously was quoted once to have said, Orson Welles lists Citizen Kane as his best film, Alfred Hitchcock opts for Shadow of a Doubt, and Sir Carol Reid chose The Third Man, and I'm in all of them.
Kate WestworthHOST
And critics anonymously voted him the best Hollywood actor to never have received an Oscar.
Kate WestworthHOST
So Joseph Cheshire Cotton Jr. was born on May the 15th in 1905 in Petersburg, Virginia, to an assistant postmaster and his wife, and he grew up together with two brothers, who would become engineers later in life.
Kate WestworthHOST
As were 1947's Farmer's Daughter, opposite Loretta Young, and another picture opposite Selznick's future wife, Jennifer Jones, 1948's Portrait of Jenny.
Kate WestworthHOST
For this particular role, Carton was awarded the Prize for Best Actor at the 1949 Venice International Film Festival.
Kate WestworthHOST
That very year, 44-year-old Cotton also starred in one of the greatest post-war film noir ever made and reunited with Wells on the screen in Carol Reed's The Third Man.
Kate WestworthHOST
And although his other movies that year, Hitchcock's Under Capricorn, opposite Ingrid Bergman, and Beyond the Forest, opposite Bette Davis, did poor at the box office, Cotton was now an established star and leading man for major A-list movies.
