Our Man In Havana

quite an opening scene-high atop a hotel overlooking a clean white city of Havana just before the revolution. looks like Miami really. Alec Guinness is a delight all through this movie as you would suspect. And Noel Coward is a sight to see as he struts the streets of the city dressed impeccably in his british suit and umbrella. Ernie Kovacs looking much more fit and trim than as he was in bell book and candle. Jo Morrow, the actress who plays Guinness daughter in the film seems to be abracadabra'd in from another movie-possibly Gidget or the Trouble with Angels.not Jo, i mean, but her character in the movie-Millie. She's so bright and perky, always addressing her dad as father, like the daughters in the tv series Father Knows Best. This movie has its dark moments intersperced with its light moments. A very good mix. And the Cuban locations will have you riveted.                               5/8/07
