This tweet reminded me of both the film and the book. The book is lesser Graham Greene and the film is lesser Carol Reed but they are sophisticated fun and well worth reading and seeing. The movie was filmed in Cuba and has a great cast.
Ernest Hemingway, Noël Coward and Alec Guinness on location at Sloppy Joe’s in Cuba whilst shooting ‘Our Man In Havana’ in 1959.
Remarkably, Fidel Castro allowed filming for "Our Man in Havana" with Alec Guinness and Maureen O'Hara to actually take place in Cuba, just two months after the Revolution. Besides being a great movie, it offers a rare glimpse of Havana, including the legendary bar "Sloppy Joes." pic.twitter.com/CsnNLoeIDU
Ernie Kovacs & Alec Guinness in a wonderful scene from Our Man in Havana. Guinness & Maureen O'Hara were introduced to Cuba's new leader, Fidel Castro, but I don't believe the two great cigar-smokers met. 📷 Peter Stackpole, 1959 pic.twitter.com/mNSXBJRvyv
