In celebration of the film's 75th anniversary, The Third Man will be entering the Garden Cinema's programme this September, allowing audiences to (re)connect with this timeless classic. But if you're looking for particularly special experience, book your ticket for the screening on Sunday 8 September. Prior to the film, Natalie Lurie will perform some of the film's iconic score. As concert zither players are hard to come by in the UK, and Anton Karas' skills on the instrument are unparalleled, Natalie will indulge us with her rendition, performed on the pedal harp instead.
Members tickets are £12.50 and restricted to 2 per member, meaning you can bring a friend at the same rate, even if they're not a member. Regular tickets are £14.50 each. Only members can now book during the presale, with general sales opening on Thursday 15 August at 18:00.
Please note, to avoid disturbance, we ask that you are seated for the performance start at 19:20 sharp. Latecomers will not be admitted to the screen until after the musical performance has finished.
About the film:
Directed by Carol Reed from an original script by acclaimed novelist Graham Greene, The Third Man won the Grand Prix at Cannes and the BAFTA for Best British film and is beloved by filmmakers the world over from Martin Scorsese to Ben Wheatley. Oscar-winning cinematography showcasing the shadowy underbelly of a bombed-out Vienna, an endlessly quotable performance by Orson Welles and an iconic soundtrack from zither player Anton Karas, a Viennese busker plucked from obscurity by Reed, all combine to make one of the most memorable thrillers of all time.
