The relationship between Vivian and Marlowe is more prominent. Hawk does this by adding or changing scenes to make Vivian appear vulnerable or to add sexual tension. There is not a really big emphasis on Geiger's homosexual relationship with Carol Lundgren or his porn ring. There is no relationship between Silver-wig(Mona Mars) and Marlowe that there is in the book. When Mona kisses Marlowe it symbolises that even the most faithful wife can not resist Marlowe. In the book Harry Jones doesn't rescue Marlowe from Eddie Mars' men, instead Marlowe catchers him tailing him. In the book when Marlowe brings Carmen home after discovering her at Geiger's home(she was naked in the novel not in the film) the maid Matilda helps him, in the film Vivian assists him, this is to add to Marlowe and Vivian's relationship. The ending is also different. Vivian rescues Marlowe not Silver-wig and they end up going back to Geiger's house in order to set up Mars. They successfully set Mars up and in the end he is accidentally shot by his own men. The ending in the book is extremely different. There is no final scene at Geiger's house instead, Carmen asks Marlowe to teacher her how to shoot at their oil field the same place she shots Regan when he rejected her. Marlowe is ahead of her and loads the gun with blanks. When she turns on him he rushes at her and she passes out(mild epileptic fit). He is taking her home when she comes round, and she notices that she has wet herself. Marlowe is talking to Vivian the next and tells her what happened between Regan and Carmen and how she needs to be sent away to a special place where she will be watched constantly. Vivian is given three days before Marlowe will come out with the truth. It finished off with him thinking about the 'Big Sleep'

What are the differences between the film and the novella The Third Man by Graham Greene?

In Graham Greene's novel, 'The Third Man,' there were several changes between it and the film. First of all, the main character's name was changed from Rollo Martins to Holly Martins, because actor, Joseph Cotton thought 'Rollo' made him sound like a homosexual. The Frankfurt preamble was eliminated in the movie to economize on time. In the novel, Rollo was not discovered to be a fraud at the Frankfurt lecture, but in the movie he was quickly recognized as being an imposter. In the novel, the characters are English, in the film, they are American. In the book, Anna Schmidt is kidnapped by Russian military police, in the film this is omitted.
