The Lives of Harry Lime
Voodoo
von
Orson Welles stars as Harry Lime, the charming, resourceful adventurer first made famous in The Third Man. In this radio series, Lime recounts episodes from his life, drawing listeners into a world of schemes, danger, and uneasy bargains.
Each installment is presented as one of Lime’s own stories, with Welles’s distinctive voice guiding the action. The adventures range across international settings and bring Lime into contact with people whose interests may be as complicated as his own. The title “Voodoo” suggests an episode with an exotic, mysterious atmosphere.
Welles gives Lime a polished, playful confidence that sits alongside the character’s opportunism and moral ambiguity. The result is a stylish adventure drama, carried by a charismatic central performance and the pleasure of hearing a clever rogue tell his own tale.
