A later collaboration between Mason and Carol Reed, The Man Between is often considered a companion piece to The Third Man thanks to its atmospheric portrayal of a city struggling to survive in a grim post-war reality of poverty and mistrust. The action is here transposed to a divided Berlin, and to the beginning of the Cold War. Unlike the devilish Harry Lime, Mason's world-weary dealer Ivo Kerr is ultimately still a decent man, compelled by his love for a naïve schoolteacher to make one last misguided trip through the Brandenberg Gate, with potentially tragic consequences.

Classic British drama directed by Carol Reed. Set during the Cold War, James Mason stars as sardonic double agent Ivo Kern who finds himself falling in love with beautiful British schoolteacher Susanne Mallison (Claire Bloom) after meeting her in Berlin. Dogged by the pressures of political espionage and the attentions of his Cold War counterpart Bettina (Hildegarde Neff), Kern must do all he can to rescue Susanne when she is kidnapped by the East German authorities after being mistaken for Bettina.
