Although some have speculated that Welles was involved in directing the film, any involvement by film other than acting was probably minimal - he may have written some lines of his dialogue.
Carol Reed may have been influenced by some of Welles's films as would many other directors. However his earlier film "Odd Man Out" (1947) shows that he would not have needed any assistance from Welles. "Odd Man Out" is darker in tone than "The Third Man" and the scene where James Mason is hallucinating is quite scary. An outstanding film but dark.
I don't think I've watched 'Odd Man Out'...it sounds like a film I wouldn't enjoy tbh.
