The Quiet American
Joseph L. Mankiewicz's original film version of Grahame Greene's book is beautifully made - and then alters the ending to
make his anti-American theme into a pro-American one. Makes for a shocking comparison with the 2002 Michael Caine version.
With Michael Redgrave, Audie Murphy, Giorgia Moll and Claude Dauphin, from MGM.
