Cinema fans will enjoy the author's diligent sleuthing in the foot steps of Greene, as well as the book's m any production stills and location maps …. Timmermann brilliantly recreates the destroyed baroque elegance of Vienna and the business of filming the masterpiece there.
(Ian Thomson, The Spectator )

Thank you for your magnificent book. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with all your research. You must now be considered as The Forth Man. The odd tiny error or mislabel on a photo pales into irrelevance when you take in the effort that has gone into such a splendid historical record.
(Guy Hamilton, director of Goldfinger )

This is to tell you how delighted I am with the Third Man book. It is beautifully done, fascinating to look at, and highly researched and enjoyable to read. What a lot of work. (David Bellan)

Thank you so much for the beautifully inscribed copy of your book. I can' tell you how mich I appreciated it. It represents a very exciting evolution from the Geman version: much more of a ‘Zeitzeugnis'.
(John Mc Gregor, British Ambassador to Austria )

At last your dream project is a reality. I am so proud of you. Harry Lime has a new life thanks to you.
(Phil Brady, Radio Presenter, Melbourne)

Your book is a marvellous tribute to what is my favourite film: beautifully written and produced and full of the most fascinating information. I was particularly interested to read about the Autrian/German members of the cast who were less familiar to me and who contributed to much to the film's success.
(Denis Collins)

Just a note to let you know how absolutely delighted I am to have your book on The Third Man. It is a marvellous souvenir for a fanatical fan. I was particularly pleased to learn how the film was made and to learn more about the very well cast Viennese actors – Ernst Deutsch etc. and Dr. Winkel, not to mention the old lady with the quilt – Hedwig Bleibtreu. Congratulations on your initiative and I hope the book sells very well.
(Peter Bultmer)

What a tremendous accomplishment. It is simply wonderful. All your effort to track down such a massive amount of information, and then to be able to present it in such a clear, upbeat way. This book is something in which you should take enormous pride.
(John Hauge)

Congratulations on the book. I think it is a wonderful production.
(John Kelly)

It was a great pleasure to read and see the photographs. I was impressed by the facts and figures you had found: political, economic and aesthetic, no doubt after hundreds of hours and miles.
(Kalu Singh)
