The Third Man / The Lives of Harry Lime
John Houseman, Orson Welles' partner in the Mercury Theatre, once said he thought Welles' best work as an actor was done on the radio, and he may be right. One thing for certain is the charm, insouciance, and humor Welles brings to the role of Harry Lime. It's not the Lime of the movie THE THIRD MAN, as is frequently pointed it out. Lime rather resembles, it seems to me, Welles himself -- a good-natured rogue looking to make something happen as he moves from city to city in various foreign climes. Even the slightest of the scripts benefits from Welles' light and skillful touch. And, having heard many of the show in fairly dire audio, this cleaned-up collection of shows is easy on the ear, as well. More episodes, Radio Spirits, please!
