The Lives of Harry Lime
Rogue's Holiday
par
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, narrow escapes, and encounters with people whose fortunes cross his path.
Each installment is framed as one of Lime’s own stories, with Welles’s distinctive voice guiding the action. The adventures move through an international landscape of intrigue and danger, where Lime’s wit and confidence help him navigate situations that rarely stay simple for long.
The series blends suspense, crime, and dry humor, with Lime’s polished storytelling giving even risky escapades a playful edge. Its appeal lies in hearing Welles inhabit a charismatic rogue who is always ready with a clever explanation—and often another plan.
