Great piece of satire

Reviewed in Australia on 28 March 2021

Verified Purchase

Graham Greene's classic sense of the satirical situation in world politics is well discussed in this film of the ridiculous.

A dark comedy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2018

Verified Purchase

A superb dark comedy from the writing & directing team behind 'The Third Man'.
Set in Havana in the latter days of the Batista regime, Graham Greenes story is of a failing vacuum cleaner salesman called Wormold with a daughter who is as beautifus as she is extravagant. To supplement his income he begins working as a spy for British intelligence, but with no sectrets to pass on he makes them up along with claiming random people as his fictitious agents. He is so successful he gains extra staff, who he must also fool.
(Greene's knowledge of TAR Robertson & the wartime XX Committee emerges here but was not apparent at the time).
Things go awry when people he claims to be agents begin to die & both Wormold & his daughter's wellbeing are threatened. In addition some in British intelligence discover he is a fraud, but the fact they have been fooled becomes the most important secret of all. AS such, Wormold is brought to England & quietly given a job teaching spies.
If you're wondering about where this was filmed, it was actually in Havana & surrounding Cuba shortly after the revolution, with Fidel Castro taking a genuine interest in the film & visiting the set on more than one occasion.

A superb vehicle for the talents of Alec Guinness.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 January 2018

Verified Purchase

If you like Alec Guinness then you have to have this film. Guinness is at his best in this classic from author Graham Green; a superb story of espionage combined with wry humour with an unexpected amount of tension and mystery. An exceptional collection of fine actors, Ives, Coward, O'Hara, Richardson, Kovacs… all of whom turn in high quality performances, absolutely no weak links.

The production quality of this DVD is very good

Polished film from an accomplished author

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this after I had finished reading the book for our book club. I had a feeling that is had seen it on one of those Sunday afternoons long ago but when I watched it I realised it was a delusion. It follows the book closely and Alec Guinness turns in a wonderfully understated performance as Wormald the vacuum cleaner salesman. Noel Coward is hilariously camp as Hawthorne the primary agent. It is set in pre-revolutionary Cuba and the tension is palpable throughout the film. The response of the British establishment when it all turns out to be nonsense is funny but dare I say typical of perceptions of the security services of the times. I won't say more than that so as not to spoil the ending

Our man in Havana (Carol Reed, 111', 1959)

Our Man in Havana is a 1959 British film shot in CinemaScope, directed and produced by Carol Reed and starring Alec Guinness, Burl Ives, Maureen O'Hara, Ralph Richardson, Noël Coward and Ernie Kovacs. The film is adapted from the 1958 novel Our Man in Havana by Graham Greene. The film takes the action of the novel and gives it a more comedic touch.
Music by Frank Deniz, Laurence Deniz, Cinematography by Oswald Morris

Plot: In pre-revolutionary Cuba, James Wormold (Guinness), a vacuum cleaner salesman, is recruited by Hawthorne (Coward) of the British Secret Intelligence Service to be their Havana operative. Instead of recruiting his own agents, Wormold invents agents from men he knows only by sight, and sketches "plans" for a rocket-launching pad based on vacuum parts to increase his value to the service and to procure more money for himself and his expensive daughter Milly (Jo Morrow). Because his importance grows, he is sent a secretary, Beatrice (O'Hara), and a radioman from London to be under his command. With their arrival it becomes much harder for Wormold to maintain his facade. However, when they do, all of his imagined information begins to come true. One of his "agents" is killed, and he is himself targeted for assassination. He admits what he's done to his secretary, and is recalled to London. At the film's conclusion, rather than telling the truth to the prime minister and other military intelligence services, Wormold's commanders (led by Ralph Richardson) agree to fabricate a story claiming his imagined machines had been dismantled, bestow honors on Wormold, and offer him a position teaching espionage classes in London.

Casting: Alec Guinness as Jim Wormold, Burl Ives as Dr Hasselbacher, Maureen O'Hara as Beatrice Severn, Ernie Kovacs as Captain Segur, Noël Coward as Hawthorne, Ralph Richardson as 'C', Jo Morrow as Milly Wormold, Grégoire Aslan as Cifuentes. Paul Rogers as Hubert Carter, Raymond Huntley as General, Ferdy Mayne as Professor Sanchez, Maurice Denham as Admiral, Joseph P Mawra as Lopez, Duncan Macrae as MacDougal, Gerik Schjelderup as Svenson, Hugh Manning as Officer, Karel Stepanek as Dr Braun, Maxine Audley as Teresa. Eccellent acting throughout.

Production: The film was shot on location in Havana, just two months after the overthrow of the Batista regime, and on 13 May 1959 Fidel Castro visited the film crew when they shot scenes at Havana's Cathedral Square. Our Man in Havana was positively received by film critics; it has a "fresh" rating of 85% (with 13 reviews) at the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. While not quite matching Reed's own The Third Man, it is an established long term top of its kind.

Great 50's film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 March 2021

Verified Purchase

I had just read and enjoyed the book, so felt the need to go back and watch the film which I don't think I had seen for over 50 years. Great cast; great script; great setting. Plenty of laughs, but also cuts close to the bone. Even our teenage daughter enjoyed it – grudgingly.
