| Was this connected to the radio series? I first learned about Harry Lime from a TV series with Michael Rennie and Jonathon Harris. Some years later when I saw the film I was surprised to discover Harry was a bad guy. |
|
| Each of these stories are adaptations of episodes of the Orson Welles radio show The Lives of Harry Lime that can be found in the Old Time Radio section. |
|
| Mr. Feckety in "Too Many Crooks" looks like S. Z. Sakall. I wonder if the resemblance is deliberate. Harry, on the other hand, looks more like Joseph Cotten than he does Orson Welles. |
