Selznick"; about a man going to visit his old friend in post-War Vienna, and when he gets there, he discovers that the friend is dead, or is he?) starring Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli (billed as "Valli"), Orson Welles (even though Welles only appears in a small portion of the movie, he dominates it!), Trevor Howard, Bernard Lee, Paul Horbiger, and Hedwig Bleibtreu. Note that the musical score for this movie was by Austrian zither musician Anton Karas, and it was so memorable that they even made a tagline about it ("He'll put you in a dither with his Zither"). Also note that this was intended to be the first of several movies with producers David Selznick and Alexander Korda, but the men clashed frequently during the making of the movie, and they never worked together again. Also note that Orson Welles clashed with director Carol Reed, and reportedly, he wrote much of his character's dialog in the movie, and made other contributions to the script that likely drove Reed crazy!
