Aired from 1951 to 1952, The Lives of Harry Lime is an old-time radio programme produced in the United Kingdom. Orson Welles reprises his role of Harry Lime from the celebrated 1949 film The Third Man. The radio series is a prequel to the film, and depicts the many misadventures of con-artist Lime in a somewhat lighter tone than that of the film.
Most episodes would begin with “The Third Man Theme” being played, abruptly cut off by an echoing gunshot.
