"A young naive American and a cynical older British diplomat disagree over politics in 1952 Vietnam and over a beautiful young native girl. " The Quiet American features Audie Murphy as the role of The American in search of a "thrid force" in Vietnam, Michael Redgrave as Thomas Fowler, a British correspondent covering the Indo-China War, and Giorgia Moll as Phuong, Fowler's mistress. When Fowler and The American end up in a Vietnam guard tower, we are treated to Vietnam's pitch black night and the War's prominent gunfire. They are seated with two Vietnam boys who barley know how to operate a gun. All four of them are huddle together in this small bird's nest, unaware if they'll be alive tomorrow morning.
