Old Movie Club returns with two paranoid films set amid the intrigue of postwar Europe: 1949\u2019s \u201cThe Third Man\u201d and 1965\u2019s \u201cThe Spy Who Came in from the Cold.\u201d The former features Orson Welles, a collection of suspicious characters in Vienna, and a whole lot of zither music. The latter features Richard Burton mixing insobriety with spycraft, and a very peculiar library. (This episode is presented in black and white.)
