"This volume contains the original version of 'The Third Man'. The text has been set from Graham Greene's original manuscript, which is the only one in existence. There was never more than one other copy of it, and many cuts were made in this latter, with a view to its submission to the International Authorities in Vienna, from whom permission to shoot the film in Vienna had to be obtained.
It may therefore be claimed that here is 'The Third Man' as first conceived in Graham Greene's mind and set down in manuscript by him as the 'film treatment' upon which the film was based and built" (from the front flap of the dust jacket)
