Happy 100th Birthday, Orson Welles
Just in time for Orson Welles' centennial, one of his iconic films, "The Third Man," is headed back to theaters in a new 4K restoration.
The remastered version of director Carol Reed's 1949 film noir classic starring Welles as a black marketeer in postwar Vienna will make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival later this month before opening in New York (June 26), Los Angeles (July 3) and other U.S. cities
New York-based distributor Rialto Pictures announced the news Wednesday, on Welles' 100th birthday.

Hard to believe it's taken so long, but I'm very glad to hear it - one of the all-time greats.
