Review of Our Man in Havana (1960) by Christopher S — 17 Jan 2009
Tongue-in-cheek British espionage thriller is somewhat disappointing considering it's written by Graham Green and directed by Carol Reed. The convoluted plot is smart and amusing, there are strong performances from an all-star cast, and director Reed makes excellent use of his widescreen frame with excellent cinematography by Oswald Morris - but the film lacks an overall energy that keeps it from being the classic it should be.
Unusual regional score by Frank and Laurence Deniz adds an interesting atmosphere.
