Criminals like Lime and his cohorts are not selling drugs or stealing fine pieces of art like in other film noirs, but they are stealing and selling medicine. The people of Vienna to buy from them, for there is no alternative. Vienna is a blackened landscape of cobblestone streets, scorched brick, and secret passageways. The shadow of World War II is ever looming on the minds of those in The Third Man.
