This is so much fun, this story. Written by Graham Green, directed and produced by Carol Reed, and starring Alec Guinness, Cuba, and one of my all-time faves: Ernie Kovacs. My mouth waters just writing about this endearing, daring little number. Right at the last minute possible this movie was made in Cuba before it shut down. It's like a love letter to Cuba, and it's beautiful to behold. In order to fund his high school daughter's burgeoning tastes Jim Wormold, an expat Brit vacuum cleaner sales rep, allows himself to be recruited by MI6. He knows nothing about spying or nationalism, nor does he care. He just wants to take care of his little girl and she wants a horse.
