"Anton Karas - Der Dritte Mann (The Third Man) Harry Lime Theme (1950)
The 'Third Man Theme,' played on the zither by Anton Karas, is a standout film score from the 1950s. Composed for the film noir 'The Third Man' directed by Carol Reed and starring Orson Welles, it features a haunting yet catchy melody that perfectly encapsulates the film's mysterious, post-war Vienna setting.
Karas, a then-unknown Viennese zither player, was discovered by Reed in a local wine tavern. Reed was captivated by the zither's unique sound and chose it to score his film. The theme's success was extraordinary, topping international charts and sparking a zither revival. It not only captured the essence of the film's ambiance but also became an integral part of its acclaim.
This theme, also known as "The Harry Lime Theme," gained fame for its simplicity and captivating melody. It evolved from a part of Karas's repertoire into a central element of the film, enhancing its suspenseful and shadowy atmosphere. The theme's release as a single saw immense success, selling over half a million copies in weeks and inspiring various renditions, including a guitar version by Guy Lombardo.
In the US, it dominated the Billboard chart for 11 weeks, influencing the release of film theme music as singles. In Europe, it became a common version known as "The Harry Lime Theme," also featuring in the radio series "The Adventures of Harry Lime."
The enduring legacy of the 'Third Man Theme' lies in its evocative melody and universal appeal, symbolizing the transformative power of music in cinema. Anton Karas's rise from obscurity to global fame exemplifies music's ability to resonate across borders and generations."
