Carol Reed's lesser-known "sequel" to his "The Third Man" is a
classic retrospective on the divided city of Berlin in the early days of the Cold War. It is a sequel in atmosphere not story, and is less gimmicky and more human than the film from Vienna.
But the same fear and betrayal are palpable in the air, as Ivo Kerr, a shop-soiled but decent dealer with both sides is compelled by his fondness for a naive English school teacher to pass through the Brandenburg Gate "just one more time." The ending, as expected, is not happy, but that final image in the snow will never be forgotten.
