Our Man In Havana 1959 1440p - Alec Guinness | Maureen O'Hara | Thriller/Comedy
"Our Man in Havana" is a 1959 British spy comedy film directed by Carol Reed. The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Graham Greene, who also wrote the screenplay. The film stars Alec Guinness, Maureen O'Hara, Burl Ives, and Ernie Kovacs.
Plot Summary:
Set in pre-revolutionary Cuba, the film follows James Wormold (played by Alec Guinness), a British vacuum cleaner salesman living in Havana. Struggling to provide for his daughter Milly (played by Jo Morrow), Wormold is recruited by the British Secret Service. He is approached by Hawthorne (played by Noel Coward), who encourages him to become a spy for the British government.
Wormold, lacking any actual espionage experience, starts fabricating information to satisfy his handlers and earn money. He creates fictional agents and concocts elaborate stories about the Cuban military installations, passing off sketches of vacuum cleaner parts as secret plans. Wormold's fantasies become increasingly absurd and complex as he tries to maintain his cover and keep the money flowing.
However, his imaginative deceptions start to take a life of their own, and the British authorities begin to take his invented reports seriously. As tensions rise between Cuba and the West, Wormold finds himself tangled in a web of intrigue and deception, not knowing that his actions could have real and dangerous consequences.
The film combines elements of spy fiction, dark comedy, and political satire, providing a humorous yet thought-provoking commentary on the world of espionage and international relations.
"Our Man in Havana" received positive reviews for its witty screenplay, Alec Guinness's performance, and its clever blending of spy thriller and comedy genres. The movie's release in 1959 coincided with the Cuban Revolution, adding an additional layer of relevance to its satirical take on espionage and international affairs.
