Musings after re-watching The Third Man (1949)
Some of us were with The Third Man, again, on Sunday :— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) October 1, 2019
Trevor Howard, first seen in a patent-leather jacket or coat*, appears and behaves incredibly camp, such that his offer to Joseph Cotten might resemble a gay pick-up...
* Even if modish for ~1949 (rather than fetishwear) ?
Can he shed light on the question that we immediately get whisked away from* - who did invite Holly to Vienna, and why, therefore, is he really there ?

* One that he never stops / allows himself to stop to ask himself.
