The Lives of Harry Lime Episodes 1 and 2

Graham Greene

The Adventures of Harry Lime, known in the United States as The Lives of Harry Lime, was an old-time radio program produced in London during the 1951 to 1952 season. Orson Welles reprised his role as Harry Lime from the celebrated 1949 film adaptation of Graham Greene's novel The Third Man.

This radio series serves as a prequel to the film, depicting the many misadventures of con-artist Lime in a somewhat lighter tone than his villainous character in the movie. Most episodes would begin with "The Third Man Theme" being played, abruptly cut off by an echoing gunshot, followed by Welles' iconic introduction.
