    Movie, The Third Man

    Just finished watching this classic movie. For those who don't know it, right, here is a plot summary!
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041959/
    An out of work pulp fiction novelist, Holly Martins, arrives in a post war Vienna divided into sectors by the victorious allies, and where a shortage of supplies has lead to a flourishing black market. He arrives at the invitation of an ex-school friend, Harry Lime, who has offered him a job, only to discover that Lime has recently died in a peculiar traffic accident. From talking to Lime's friends and associates Martins soon notices that some of the stories are inconsistent, and determines to discover what really happened to Harry Lime.
    A classic flim noir, it is well worth the view!
    It also actually has a bit of eye candy, from Garands in the beginning to enfield and webley revolvers at the end!

    Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    You can go to Vienna and take the "Harry Lime tour" of the sewers. Follow the path of Harry and the police and only for 20.00 US. Leaves from in front of the Opera house at 1pm....

    Oh, NO! It's a Graham Greene creation. Don't forget Our Man in Havana. Greene offers such absurdity and plots twists as to induce vertigo.
