“You should dream more, Mr Wormold. Reality in our century is not something to be faced."
MI6’s man in Havana is Jim Wormold, a former vacuum-cleaner salesman turned reluctant secret agent out of economic necessity to pay for his teenage daughter’s increasingly extravagant lifestyle. To keep his job, he files bogus reports based on Charles Lamb’s Tales from Shakespeare and dreams up military installations from vacuum-cleaner designs. Then his stories start coming disturbingly true… In Clive Francis’ adaptation, Graham Greene’s classic satirical novel becomes a wonderfully funny and fast-moving romp.
