This mix is inspired by my favorite movie — "The Third Man" — which I think is a great travel movie. I guess my ideal vacation involves crumbling grandeur, dark alleys and a sense of unease. Seriously! But I need more than just zither music playing in the background.

I liked the same stretch as turtle but in my case include CYHSY with the good stuff! Don't know the movie but can get the atmosphere from the mix. Nicely done.

The Third Man is easily one of my all time favs as well. Bravo on that and on the mix! YES!

It is one of my favorites too. The shot when you first see Harry Lime, and the final chase through the sewers, amazing. Great idea for a mix. Also, Femme Fatale has one of my all time favorite lines in it. "You're written in her book, you're number 47 take a look" Brilliant!

Sorry my descriptions are so lame. I usually feel I'd be better off leaving them off altogether.
