I was recently invited onto the popular SpyHards podcast to share my thoughts and show my deep appreciation for the movie ‘Our Man in Havana’ (1959) based on Graham Greene's iconic 1959 novel.
Directed by Carol Reed and starring Alec Guinness, Our Man in Havana has been a defining work in the spy genre, blending dark humour with intrigue—a combination that I try to create in his own novel, ‘Magical Disinformation’ set in Colombia
I joined hosts Scott and Cam to dive into the classic espionage tale and the three of us decoded Our Man in Havana's satirical take on Cold War espionage and the absurdities of intelligence work. As well as some exploration of the behind-the-scenes elements on the actors, director, and general fun facts about the movie including on-set visits from Fidel Castro and Ernest Hemingway. In true SpyHards style, Scott and Cam engaged in their own high-stakes game of checkers with shots as they share insights into the themes and iconic scenes that make Our Man in Havana a timeless classic.
