		Karas, who'd returned to Vienna immediately after seeing the movie at its opening in London, didn't know about these events for several weeks--he was back at his old place, playing for tips.

	The Third Man - Anton Karas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Anton Karas' Harry Lime Theme from The Third Man is one of those curiously famous title themes, quite diverting for its two minutes of zither music, but would many people feel the urge to dash out and listen to an entire album's worth?
		Apparently, Karas' solo zither music was used to conjure up local colour and charm, even if the Viennese setting rather suggests Strauss or Mahler.
		Whatever the case, I can't honestly say that zither music is my kind of thing, it rather suggests the banjo and thus George Fornby, or on other occasions, something one might expect to find playing on arrival at a Hawaiian airport.

	The Anton Karas Biography Page on Classic Cat
		The atmospheric use of fl and white cinematography (by Robert Krasker), harsh lighting, distorted camera angles, combined with the unique musical theme and excellent performances from the cast, all serve to convey the atmosphere of post-War Vienna, creating the tension inherent in the story, and making this one of Reed's best-loved films.
		The distinctive musical score was composed and played on the zither by Anton Karas (1906 –; 1985).
		A single The Third Man Theme released in 1950 (Decca in UK, London Records in USA) became a bestseller, and later an LP was released.

	The Third Man: Music composed and performed for the film by Anton Karas: Film Music on the Web CD Reviews May 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		John Barry's score for the later film is decidedly monothematic, its appeal resting on a central melody which if not as famous as Karas' for The Third Man, is surely as memorable and effective.
		As Karas with the zither, Barry chose the central European instrument string instrument the cymbalon to dominate his score, an instrument which is a close cousin of the zither.
		That said, there is a very appealing and imaginative orchestral arrangement of the Harry Lime Theme included as a bonus track and the well illustrated and detailed booklet is well worth a read.

		This wonderful collection features all the main music from the movie along with a number of tunes recorded by Karas in the early 50s including two accompaniments to vocalist Kay Armen.
		This is a lot of zither music to listen to at one time but the music has an undeniable charm and if you've seen the movie the haunting sounds here will conjure up images of the Viennese sewers and of Orson Welle as Harry Lime's first appearance in a doorway.
		Splendid collection of Benga music from Kenya recorded in the mid 80s by the immensly popular Kakai Kilonzo who tragically died in 1987 at the early age of 32.

	Oldies.com : Anton Karas
		The man who arguably did more to popularize the zither than anyone before or after him, is best remembered as the sound behind the famous "The Third Man Theme' (Harry Lime).
		Carol Reed's classic 1949 movie, The Third Man, utilized Karas" music throughout, and it was no surprise that film-goers made the song and its accompanying album a number 1 hit in 1951.
		Although Karas was a virtuoso, he remains one of the more famous one-hit-wonders of our time.

		Not only does it contain all of the music from the film (as far as I can tell) it also features some of his other work.

		But what made this classic film even more classic was the zither and composer Anton Karas ~ only to become one of cinemas most recognizable scores, the ultimate "Harry Lime Theme" sending memories of betrayal and suspense that filled the big screen.
		Silva America has done a magnificent job in putting together this World Premiere recording of the score, this time around with Gertrud Huber playing the solos ~ along with The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Nic Raine.
