American pulp. Western writer Holly Martins Joseph Cotten comes to the city seeking his childhood friend, Harry Lime, who has offered him a job. Upon arrival he discovers that Lime was killed just hours earlier by a speeding truck while crossing the street. Martins attends Limes funeral, where he meets two British Army Police Sergeant Paine Bernard Lee, a fan of Martins pulp novels and his superior, Major Calloway Trevor Howard, who says Lime was a criminal and suggests Martins leave town. An official of the British occupying forces Wilfrid Hyde White subsequently approaches Martins, requesting that he give a lecture and offering to pay for his lodging. Viewing this as an opportunity to clear his friends name, Martins decides to remain in Vienna. He receives an invitation to meet from Limes friend, Baron Kurtz Ernst Deutsch, who tells Martins that he, along with another friend, Popescu Siegfried Breuer, carried Lime to the side of the street after the accident. Before dying, according to Kurtz, Lime asked Kurtz and Popescu to take care of Martins and Anna Schmidt Alida Valli, Limes actress girlfriend. Hoping to gather more information, Martins goes to see Anna at her theatre, where she suggests in passing that Harrys death may not have been accidental. She then accompanies Martins to question the porter at Limes apartment building.

He also states that Kurtz and Popescu did not move the body out of the street alone, but were helped by a third man. Martins berates him for not being more forthcoming with the police about what he knows. Concerned for his familys safety, the porter indignantly tells Martins not to involve him. Shortly afterwards the police, searching Annas flat for evidence, find and confiscate her forged passport and detain her. Anna tells Martins that she is of Czechoslovak nationality and will be deported from Austria by the Russian occupying forces if discovered. Martins visits Limes medical adviser, Dr. Winkel Erich Ponto, who says that he arrived at the accident after Lime was dead, and only two men were present. Later, the porter secretly offers Martins more information but is murdered before their arranged meeting. When Martins arrives, unaware of the murder, a young boy recognizes him as having argued with the porter earlier and points this out to the gathering bystanders, who become hostile, and then mob like. Escaping from them, Martins returns to the hotel, and a cab whisks him away. He fears it is taking him to his death, but takes him to the book club. With no lecture prepared, he stumbles until Popescu, in the audience, asks him about his next book. Martins replies that it will be called The Third Man, a murder story inspired by facts. Popescu tells Martins that he should stick to fiction. Martins sees two thugs approaching and flees. Calloway again advises Martins to leave Vienna, but Martins refuses and demands that Limes death be investigated. Calloway reluctantly reveals that Lime had been stealing penicillin from military hospitals, and selling it on the black market diluted so much that many patients died. In postwar Vienna, antibioticswere new and scarce outside military hospitals and commanded a very high price. Calloways evidence convinces Martins. Disillusioned, he agrees to leave Vienna. Martins visits Anna to say good bye and finds that she also knows of Limes misdeeds, but that her feelings toward him are unchanged. She tells him she is to be deported. Upon leaving her flat, he notices someone watching from a dark doorway a neighbours lit window briefly reveals the person to be Lime Orson Welles, who flees, ignoring Martinss calls. Martins summons Calloway, who deduces that Lime has escaped through the sewers. The British police immediately exhume Limes coffin and discover that the body is that of Joseph Harbin, an orderly who stole penicillin for Lime and went missing after turning informant. The next day, Martins goes to Kurtz and demands to see Lime. Lime comes out to meet him and they ride Viennas Ferris wheel, the Wiener Riesenrad. Lime indirectly threatens Martinss life but relents when told that the police already know his death and funeral were faked. In a monologue on the insignificance of his victims, he reveals the full extent of his amorality. He again offers a job to Martins and leaves. Calloway asks Martins to help lure Lime out to capture him, and Martins agrees, asking for Annas safe conduct out of Vienna in exchange. However, Anna refuses to leave and remains loyal to Lime. Exasperated, Martins decides to leave but changes his mind after Calloway shows Martins the children who are victims of Limes diluted penicillin, brain damaged as a result of meningitis. Lime sneaks out for his rendezvous with Martins, but Anna, still loyal to Lime, arrives and warns him off just in time. He tries again to escape through the sewers, but the police are there in force. Lime shoots and kills Paine, but Calloway shoots and wounds Lime. Badly injured, Lime drags himself up a ladder to a street grating exit but cannot lift it. Martins picks up Paines revolver, follows Lime, reaches him, but hesitates. Lime looks at him and nods. A shot is heard. Later, Martins attends Limes second funeral. At the risk of missing his flight out of Vienna, Martins waits in the cemetery to speak to Anna. She approaches him from a distance and walks past, ignoring him. ProductioneditDevelopmenteditBefore writing the screenplay, Graham Greene worked out the atmosphere, characterisation and mood of the story by writing a novella. He wrote it as a source text for the screenplay and never intended it to be read by the general public, although it was later published under the same name as the film. In 1. 94. 8 he met Elizabeth Montagu in Vienna. She gave him tours of the city, its sewers and some of its less reputable night clubs. She also introduced Greene to Peter Smolka, the eastern European correspondent for The Times. Smolka gave Greene the stories about the black market in Vienna. The narrator in the novella is Major Calloway, which gives the book a slightly different emphasis from that of the screenplay. Stan Pines Gravity Falls Wiki. Stan Pines. Inspiration.

Stan travelled to his brothers new home in the woods of Gravity Falls, Oregon, to find Ford confined in his shack and borderline insane with paranoia. Ford then revealed his underground laboratory and the Universe Portal to his brother, vaguely explaining that its powers were too dangerous and that he needed Stan to take one of Fords journals, which contained information as to its operation, and go as far away as possible, to protect them from falling into the wrong hands. Furious that Ford had only summoned him to send him away again, Stan initiated an argument and prepared to burn the book to spite Ford, causing a fistfight between the two.
