Re: Third Man Mueeum
Thank Rudi. That is great information. It's the sewer scene that always comes to mind when I think of the film. I've always been surprised that the powers-that-be in Markneukirchen have never made a tourist shrine out of the house that C.F. Martin grew up in. Here in the States he is the most famous person to come from that notable instrument making town.
