When first watching the movie, you see the city of Vienna all in ruins, mobsters dealing or trading money, and this first picture gives you the idea that something is not right in this shady city. Most of the scenes appear to be shot at night showing the rubbles and alleys of Vienna. There are many uses of the wide-angle lens and deep focus when showing the pictures of the distortion of the city. We see many medium shots when Holly talks to Lime’s associates as well as many ext

The character description for Harry is that he is very unpredictable throughout the scenes that he appears in. He seems very brave and confident when running from Holly at his first appearance, then is sneaky and unpredictable when running through the sewers from the police. Holly Martins appears to be puzzled and confused about what is going on, but is held back and is head over heals for Anna. He is often drunk in some scenes and he seems as if he is not always there.

Holly is dressed in his button down suit that appears to be light in color. Anna and Holly start to quarrel, and Harry comes into the scene and he learns that his friend has betrayed him by helping the police find him. The chase begins and the music stops playing. Harry runs through the smoked alleys and the ruins until he reaches his hideout in the sewers. The sewers are dark, have little lighting, and all you could hear for a moment was small footsteps, and the water running. Harry is trying to be sneaky hoping that he would not get caught. The police come dressed in white; they have huge flash lights, and are running in search of this criminal. Major Calloway is dressed up in a lon
