The Lives of Harry Lime
Blue Bride
by
Orson Welles stars as Harry Lime, the charming, resourceful adventurer first made famous in The Third Man. In this radio series, Lime recounts exploits from his life around the world, where quick thinking and a taste for risk repeatedly draw him into trouble.
Each episode is a self-contained adventure, told in Lime’s distinctive first-person voice. He may be scheming, escaping danger, or pursuing an opportunity, with the story unfolding through dialogue, sound effects, and a dramatic score. Welles’s performance gives the character a lively mix of wit, confidence, and mischief.
The result is a stylish blend of suspense and lighthearted adventure, carried by Lime’s amused perspective and the pleasures of hearing a practiced storyteller turn a close call into another memorable tale.
