In the year 2000, Graham Greene's classic thriller The Third Man was voted the best British film of the 20th Century in a bfi poll. Shadowing the Third Man is the first documentary made exclusively about the making of The Third Man. It shadows The Third Man, in the sense that it uses sequences from the original film to tell the story of the film's own making. At its heart are the amazing parallels between the on and off-screen action's mix of fact and fiction.
