JP Studio Film Club – Our Man in Havana
Celebrating another of the productions from Jávea Players’ 50 years, the next film
night will show Our Man in Havana. Directed by Carol Reed and written by
Graeme Greene.
This film is a total time machine with crisp black-and-white cinematography and
gritty, on-location, shoots serve up 1950’s Cuba so vividly you can practically
smell the cigar smoke and diesel.
Alec Guinness anchors a “who’s who” of British acting royalty, with Ernie Kovacs,
Noël Coward, and Ralph Richardson providing some seriously heavy-hitting
backup.
Even with its patient, slow-burn pacing, the movie is a sophisticated cocktail of
style and wit. While it keeps you guessing with its moody atmosphere, the
brilliant satirical payoff and dark humour make it a uniquely rewarding watch for
anyone who loves a clever, atmospheric classic.
