Today’s song of the day is the haunting zither theme of The Third Man. Whenever I hear this music, I immediately think of Orson Welles, emerging from the shadows with that charming smile on his face. I also think about poor Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten), being chased through Vienna by that little kid who wouldn’t stop yelling at him. And, of course, there’s that famous final shot….
Some of the great music is a soundtrack…it usually goes form dramatic theme songs to subtle, background grooves – the Bond soundtracks are very good at it!
