Reed though is not Hitchcock and maybe the camera tilts are finally just too much. Robert Krasker's fine camerawork best witnessed in sewer scenes, edited by Reed (uncredited) and Oswald Hafenrichter.

The Third Man (1949 Carol Reed)
An unusual film - did Wajda see it before Kanal? Written by Graham Greene, a fabulous account of what it is to be a stranger abroad in a hostile land. Mournful and melancholy with serious sting in its plot, and a beautifully downbeat ending where Alida Valli simply walks past Joseph Cotten and away. Great acting all round.
