Question: Which film has the director died earlier, Toto The Third Man or Kokusai Himitsu Keisatsu: Kagi No Kagi?

The Third Man is a 1949 film noir directed by Carol Reed, written by Graham Greene, and starring Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Orson Welles, and Trevor Howard. The film is set in post – World War II Vienna. It centres on Holly Martins, an American who is given a job in Vienna by his friend Harry Lime, but when Holly arrives in Vienna he gets the news that Lime is dead. Martins then meets with Lime's acquaintances in an attempt to investigate what he considers a suspicious death. The atmospheric use of black- and- white expressionist cinematography by Robert Krasker, with harsh lighting and distorted" Dutch angle" camera technique, is a major feature of" The Third Man". Combined with the iconic theme music, seedy locations and acclaimed performances from the cast, the style evokes the atmosphere of an exhausted, cynical post-war Vienna at the start of the Cold War. Greene wrote the novella of the same name as preparation for the screenplay. Anton Karas wrote and performed the score, which featured only the zither. The title music" The Third Man Theme" topped the international music charts in 1950, bringing the previously unknown performer international fame; the theme would also inspire Nino Rota's principal melody in" La Dolce Vita"( 1960). " The Third Man" is considered one of the greatest films of all time, celebrated for its acting, musical score and atmospheric cinematography. In 1999, the British Film Institute voted" The Third Man" the greatest British film of all time. In 2011 a poll of 150 actors, directors, writers, producers and critics for" Time Out" magazine saw it ranked the second best British film ever. <SEP> Thulasi is a 1987 Tamil romantic drama film directed by Ameerjan.
