I envy anyone seeing this for the first time; I was young when I first saw it and was quite entertained, but couldn't get the most out of it.
Now I've watched it many times and realize the masterful integration of plot, setting, characters, sound, scene, pace, etc. that make it a great flick.
The Criterion DVD is very nice (should be, at that price), especially the original Graham Greene story and his comments.
