NOTES
After the famous 1949 film, Orson Welles transformed his character from a criminal to more of a Robin Hood in the 1951 radio series "The Lives of Harry Lime". This 1959 TV version continues that transformation, making Harry Lime a debonair international art dealer with a heart of gold, who merely has a mysterious past. The first season was a joint US/UK production, with half the episodes filmed at 20th Century-Fox in Hollywood, then the remainder filmed for the BBC at Shepperton Studios. Later seasons were all filmed in Europe.
