Tourist attraction
The Third Man filming location Harry Lime Doorway
Schreyvogelgasse 8, 1010 Wien
Baroque doorway where a hidden light trick revealed a beloved film villain, alive after all.
This guide to the Harry Lime Doorway in Vienna returns to a November 1948 night shoot for The Third Man, when a stray cat wanders off to nibble at a stranger's shoelaces tucked into this doorway. A drunken Holly Martins, leaving a woman's flat across the street, notices the cat and shouts into the dark, certain that his old friend Harry Lime is dead and buried. Stand in the doorway and watch the window across the street as you listen.
