Major Calloway. After the services, Calloway gives Martins a lift to his hotel and advises the American to leave Vienna as he can do nothing more than get himself into trouble. The British policeman Calloway advises Martins to leave Vienna and, when Martins refuses and demands an investigation into Lime's suspicious death, finally reveals the truth about Lime's racket. Calloway shows him a dossier and photographs proving that Lime stole penicillin from military hospitals (the first known antibiotic and at the time a new and scarce life-saver commanding a very high price on the black market), and sold it for a high price in highly diluted form, with devastating effects on his many victims.

Allegedly devloped the entire story after penning one single opening sentence: "i had paid my last farewell to harry a week ago, when hs coffin was lowered into the frozen February ground, so that it was with incredulity that i saw him pass by, without a sign of recognition, amongst a host of strangers in the strand"
so much of is dialgue is memoriable. there were a dozen brilliant lines.

most famous lines were improved by Welles in the legendery scene at top of ferris wheel, when harry tell holly "dont be so gloomy after all, its not that awful. like the fella says in italy for 30 years under the borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced michaelangelo, lenoardo de vinci, and the Renaissance. In switzerland they ahd brotherly love- the had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? the cucko clock. "
