Tossup

Roger Ebert often wrote that viewing this character on the screen of a smoke-filled theater in Paris in 1962 defined for him “the romance of the movies.” “A Ticket to Tangier” and “Too Many Crooks” are among the 52 episodes of a radio show about this character’s “lives.” A man wraps his arm around a post for safety after this character says, “There’s no proof against me, besides you” (15[1])and stares. A light from a window above illuminates this character’s (15[1])face as he stands in a shadowy (*) doorway with a cat between his feet. This character claims that all Switzerland produced in “five hundred years of democracy and peace” was the cuckoo (10[1])clock after a tense encounter in a ferris wheel. For 10 points, name this charming criminal played by Orson Welles in The Third Man. ■END■
