The Lives of Harry Lime
Murder on the Riviera
von
Orson Welles stars as Harry Lime, the charming, resourceful adventurer first made famous in The Third Man. This radio series follows Lime through a life of schemes and narrow escapes, as he moves among people and places where a quick wit can be as useful as a quick getaway.
Each episode presents a self-contained adventure, with Welles’s Lime at its center. The stories draw on crime, deception, and international intrigue, letting Lime’s polished manner and opportunism carry him into trouble—and often help him find a way out. The radio format brings these encounters to life through dialogue, sound effects, and a dramatic score.
The pleasure is in Lime’s sly, unpredictable presence: he is a captivating rogue, never quite a hero and rarely an innocent bystander. Welles gives the character a distinctive mix of warmth and menace, making the series an engaging blend of suspense, wit, and old-fashioned adventure.
