Another film that is on many top 100 lists. It is based on the book by Graham Greene. This is a very good mystery film with a rather complex plot (ok, I've adjusted to the often simplistic nature of Hollywood). The film takes place in Vienna just following WWII. An American has come over to visit his friend only to find that he has died in a car accident. He then begins to investigate as the facts and eye witness accounts don't seem to jive. He is then finds himself in the middle of plots larger than simply searching for the truth. There are some really good conversations that are timeless and just as applicable today as they were in 1949. A very well made film, I would recommend seeing it.
