Third Man’s money man
SIR: Like Harry Mount (June issue), I have long been a devotee of The Third Man. As to why it was filmed in Vienna rather than London, the story I heard was that Alexander Korda had money in Austria from pre-war days.
Unfortunately, owing to currency restrictions, he could not get it out, even when the war was over. So he decided to use it to make a film set in Vienna. That seems entirely plausible - to me, at least. David Culver, London SE9
