Outstanding	May 25, 2022
Reviewer: Bill Downs

The quality of the recordings is outstanding. Orson Welles is Harry Lime as he was created to be. Hopefully you will find further recordings for a Volume 2. Thanks again for preserving an important part of our history.

I Loved It	May 25, 2022
Reviewer: Sue Turner

I just finished listening to The Lives of Harry lime, Volume 1. I loved it. Is there the possibility of a Volume 2 or did the show have a very short series of only 20 shows? I hope that the title number Volume 1 hints at the likelihood of at least one more volume of The Lives of Harry Lime.

An absolute must have!	May 25, 2022
Reviewer: Jim G. from Austin, TX United States

The writing and acting are excellent and fascinating! The sound reproduction made me believe I was in the studio while it was being recorded. This may be the best single set of radio shows being offered here. I have listened to all these shows twice, and they were as much fun the second time around! Buy this. You deserve it. I am looking forward to the next set!

Great, Underrated Radio Drama	May 25, 2022
Reviewer: Gordon Dymowski from Chicago, IL United States

I have to admit, I'm biased - I *love* THE THIRD MAN.

So thankfully, I was able to get the download version of the radio "spin-off", and quite honestly, it's one of my favorite listens, leading me to get volumes 2 - 4.

Orson Welles' delivery as Lime seems almost effortless, the writing is top-notch, and quite simply, one of the best listens I've experienced. Kudos to Radio Archives for some great sounding reissues!

Harry Lime's life...prior to his death in Vienna	May 25, 2022
Reviewer: Richard McLeod from RIVERSIDE, CA United States

After the success of Carol Reed's "The Third Man" movie in 1949, Orson Welles was living in England. He was talked into making this Radio series, also using Anton Karas with the Zither for the musical score, just as had been done in the motion picture.

If you liked Harry Lime in his last adventure in Vienna as told in "The Third Man" motion picture, these Radio Shows produced in England after the success of the film, will reveal to you the many lives and adventures of Harry Lime prior to his death in the sewers of Vienna will be revealed. Highly recommended and as a plus, many of the stories are written by Orson Welles himself.

High Quality!	May 25, 2022
Reviewer: Russ Gifford from South Sioux City, NE United States

The highest audio quality I have ever encountered is from your great service. The Lives of Harry Lime continues to prove this. Does improved audio quality matter? Yes. It is amazing to hear these with audio depth while removing the distracting noise levels. The result is a more emotionally evocative experience! It is like hearing them for the first time all over again. Thank you for providing these!

Excellent series in perfect audio quality. Solid adult stories. Looking forward to sale (perhaps Black Friday) to get the rest.

Lives of Harry Lime	September 30, 2018
Reviewer: Elliott Gerstein from Pembroke Pines, FL United States

Add this to the great multitude of of radio work that Orson Welles left for us. The Lives of Harry Lime was both well written and acted, and is deserving of a large audience.
