The Prater, Vienna, Austria - The Third Man (1949) - Movie Locations on Waymarking.com

Vienna’s giant Ferris wheel is the meeting place for fugitive Harry Lime (Orson Welles) and author Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton) in Carol Reed’s mystery about stolen penicillin and suspicious deaths. Our default picture shows actor Joseph Cotton in front of the Ferris wheel.

The Third Man won the 1949 Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, the British Academy Award for Best Film, and an Academy Award for Best Black and White Cinematography in 1950. In 2005, viewers of BBC Television's Newsnight Review voted the film their fourth favourite of all time; it was the only film in the top five made prior to 1970.

The Wiener Riesenrad (Viennese giant wheel) is a 64.75-meter (212 ft) tall Ferris wheel at the entrance of the Prater amusement park in Vienna. It is one of Vienna's most popular tourist attractions, and symbolises the district as well as the city for many people. I rode the Ferris wheel the first time I visited Vienna and enjoyed the ride and the view.
