After an encounter with a White Witch (pure white Jamaica rum) or a Rangoon Ruby (vodka and cranberry juice), the drinker may well feel such a Suffering Bastard (rums, lime and liqueurs) that he will want to see Dr. Funk of Tahiti ("redolent of French rums and absinthe").

Though The Third Man got a lukewarm critical reception in London, it has been bought for $1,500,000 (recouping the production cost) by Budweiser and Rheingold beers, will be shown on U.S. screens this fall.
