The Lives of Harry Lime
It's a Knockout
by
Orson Welles stars as Harry Lime, the charming, resourceful adventurer whose exploits unfold before the events of The Third Man. A genial rogue with a taste for risk, Lime moves through a world of schemes, sudden reversals, and uneasy alliances, relying on wit and nerve as much as luck.
Each episode is a self-contained adventure, with Welles’s narration framing Lime’s escapades and drawing listeners into the action. The stories range across international settings and bring together intrigue, comedy, and danger, while Lime’s own account gives the proceedings a sly, personal point of view.
The series balances suspense with a light touch: Harry may be a scoundrel, but his confidence and quick thinking make him an engaging guide through trouble. Its brisk storytelling and Welles’s distinctive voice give the program the feel of a polished, witty adventure.
