	Our Man in Havana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Our Man In Havana is a 1958 novel by Graham Greene.
		An interesting sidelight of Greene's tenure in the SIS is the story of Garcia: a double agent in Lisbon, who fed the Germans disinformation, pretending to control a ring of agents all over England, while all he was doing was inventing armed forces movements and operations from maps, guides and standard military references.
		Garcia was the inspiration for Wormold, a character in Our Man In Havana.

	New York State Writers Institute - Our Man in HavanaFilm Notes
		Our Man in Havana, on the other hand, is far closer to the world of novelists Grahame Greene, Eric Ambler, and, later, John LeCarre, writers whose work frequently dealt with the ambiguous loyalties and complicated ethics of a business built on lying.
		Like The Third Man [which was also directed by Carol Reed and based on a story by Graham Greene], Our Man in Havana was an "entertainment" picture, consisting of Greene’s familiar casserole of sly wit, intricately plotted melodrama and social squalor—all of it lightly topped with a sprinkling of holy water.
		Wormold, anti-hero of Graham Greene’s Our Man in Havana, was impaired by a limp and, given the traffic that must have prevailed in late 1950s Havana, seven minutes must have been a close-run thing.

	Fidel - Our Man in Havana By Charles A. Morse
		At the same time, the US governement had attempted to co-opt Castro for their own ends and he didn't play ball with them, so after failing to invade Cuba, the US government imposed an unjustified embargo on Cuba and its people which has caused decades of unnecessary suffering and denial of modern goods and services.
		American complicity in the Cuban "Revolution" 1958-1960, our role in toppling the Batista government, and our installation of Castro and his gang of Communist murderers, is a story not widely reported.
		This meddling in the internal affairs of a sovereign state resulted in the murder, by the communists, of tens of thousands of innocent people and the enslavement of an entire population which, to this day, chafes under the steel tipped jackboot of a left wing Communist dictatorship.

	Our Man in Havana
		The shadows in 1938 of the war to come had been too dark for comedy; the reader could feel no sympathy for a man who was cheating his country in Hitler's day for the sake of an extravagant wife.
		But in fantastic Havana, among the absurdities of the Cold War (for who can accept the survival of Western capitalism as a great cause?) there was a situation allowably comic, all the more if I changed the wife into a daughter.
		..The British agent Wormold in Our Man in Havana has no origin that I can recognize, but the elegant Hawthorne owes a little, in his more imaginative flights, to an officer in the same Service who was at one time my chief.

		A fast-moving, fast-talking man in his 30s with an arresting clatter of a voice somewhere between an auctioneer's and a sports broadcaster's, Gold exudes irrepressible enthusiasm for his work, and shuttles back and forth from Cuba as if commuting to a day-job.
		The producer found himself searching for something to do with a variety of veteran dance-band musicians in Havana's Egrem Studio, some of whom knew each other by reputation, all of whom were intrigued by the occasion.

		The photography of old Havana is superb, the humor, extremely ingenous, the performances of Alec Guiness, Ernie Kovacs and Burl Ives, outstanding.

		But Cavalcanti rejected the treatment and Greene eventually switched the story to Havana in the late 1950s because, as he has explained, 'the reader could feel no sympathy for a man who was cheating his country in Hitler's day.
