The opening song can tell us a lot about Harry Lime as a character through the music. The music sounds quite happy and this tells us that he is a jolly character yet when the music dips into a minor key then it could forecast darker events come later in the film to Harry Lime. The instrument this song is played on is called a 'Zither' pictured below.
This song played on the zither has had a huge influence on modern music today. An example of a song which includes a similar version of this familiar tune is 'Vince The Loveable Stoner' by 'The Fratellis' on the album 'Costello Music' released on 30th October 2006. The similar sounding section is heard at 2:09 in the song posted below.
