NOTES
After the famous 1949 film, Orson Welles transformed his character from a double-dealing criminal to more of a Robin Hood in the 1951 radio series "The Lives of Harry Lime". This TV version continues that transformation, making the former wartime black marketeer a debonair international art dealer with a heart of gold. The first season was a joint US/UK production filmed at 20th Century-Fox in Hollywood, whereas later seasons were filmed for the BBC at Shepperton Studios.
