Summary: 5 Stars
****1/2 1958. Co-written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, THE QUIET AMERICAN is an adaptation of Graham Greene's The Quiet American (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition). Is Audie Murphy a spy or an idealist ? Michael Redgrave doesn't hesitate much when the American starts to court his Vietnamese mistress. This excellent adaptation will leave you a bitter aftertaste in the mouth thanks to Michael Redgrave's superior performance as the cur Thomas Fowler. highly recommended.
Summary of The Quiet American
A love triangle brews amidst a growing political tempest in this "brilliantly intellectual" (Los Angeles Times) film in which nothing is quite as it seems. Adapted from the acclaimed novel by Graham Greene, Academy Award-winning writer-director Joseph L. Mankiewicz's screenplay "delivers dialogue that not only sparkles but bites deep with the irony of truth" (Citizen-News). In 1952, Saigon is caught between the corrupt colonial powers and the Communist uprising. An idealistic young American (Audie Murphy) champions a shadowy Third Force, but cynical British journalist Thomas Fowler (Michael Redgrave) is concerned only with the American's interest in his mistress. When jealousy forces Fowler to take sides at last, the personal and political consequences are devastating.Action & Adventure DVD Video
