The Adventures Of Harry Lime (broadcast in the United States as The Lives Of Harry Lime) was an old-time radio program produced in the United Kingdom during the 1951 to 1952 season. Orson Welles reprised his role of Harry Lime from the celebrated 1949 film The Third Man. The radio series is a prequel to the film, and depicts the many misadventures of con-artist Lime in a somewhat lighter tone than that of the film.
