John Landis on “Our Man In Havana”
Jun 15, 2011
Trailer 596 of 736
Director Carol Reed filmed his extremely well-cast adaptation of Grahame Greene's spy novel on location in Havana only three months after Fidel Castro's January 1959 revolution, and completed it just before Cuba aligned itself with the Soviet Union. Alberto Cavalcanti had explored the idea of directing this in the late '40s (but set in Estonia) and Alfred Hitchcock was also interested, but former film critic Greene nixed him.

One of the best and most entertaining horror films of the 80's. Amanda Donohoe is hilariously unforgettable...

These days horror movies seem to have lost the ability to also be profoundly sexy, Ken show us how it's done..

I am pleased that trallers from hell have finally uploaded the traller for one of the greatest film musicals ever made. I saw this again recently and it still hits the bullseye

A film so completely over the top it could only have come from the late and sorely missed Ken Russell. Great stuff all round.

This film, along with "The Great Dictator" and the (pretty terrible) "Once Upon a Honeymoon", shows that the plight of oppressed Europeans was a comic goldmine for Hollywood! A really wonderful comedy with a fine atmosphere of moral and physical decay, this is one of the most adult films of the 1940s, with a very interesting subtext regarding Jews and Poles "passing" for Germans, a very common means of survival during those awful times..
