Our Man in Havana**
GB 1959. Columbia/Kingsmead. 111m. bw. Cinemascope

In pre-revolutionary Cuba, a British vacuum cleaner salesman turns amateur spy in order to finance his daughter's high living.
Eccentric espionage comedy thriller, blandly made but very characteristic of its author. The all-star talents concerned are not on peak form, but provide moments of pleasure along the way.

Written by: Graham Greene, from his novel.
Producer/Director: Carol Reed.
Starring: Alec Guinness, Noel Coward, Burl Ives, Maureen O'Hara, Ernie Kovacs, Ralph Richardson, Jo Morrow, Paul Rogers, Gregoire Aslan.
Photography: Oswald Morris.
Music: Hermanos Deniz.
