Liking Kara's unaccompanied zither playing very much, "Reed" insisted that Karas compose the theme music for his newest film "The Third Man." Karas accepted, and both his music and the film became classics. Karas earned enough money from the film to buy his own tavern. In addition to performing there, Karas also occasionally recorded albums. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
