About This Song
About "Le troisième homme / The third man : thème du troisième homme (Orson wells)" by Anton Karas
Anton Karas’s zither theme for The Third Man is a jaunty, unsettling dance—plucked strings skipping through Vienna’s shadowed sewers. The melody’s cheerful lilt masks a lurking unease, like a smile in a doorway that never quite reaches the eyes.
