The Lives of Harry Lime
The Professor Regrets
by
Orson Welles stars as Harry Lime, the charming, resourceful adventurer whose exploits unfold in the years before the events of The Third Man. Lime moves through a world of shifting loyalties and uncertain motives, relying on wit, nerve, and an instinct for finding opportunity wherever trouble gathers.
Each installment is a self-contained radio adventure, with Welles’s Lime at the center of a new predicament. The stories combine suspense, crime, and international intrigue, carried by dialogue, sound effects, and a dramatic score that bring their settings and dangers to life.
Welles gives Lime an easy confidence and a sly sense of humor, making him an engaging guide even when his choices are morally questionable. The result is a stylish, atmospheric series for listeners who enjoy a charismatic antihero and compact tales of danger and deception.
