much as i fear boring my readership (hi there, it is only you left), i must again recommend a carol reed film which i saw today (with a script written by graham greene), but our man in havanna differs so radically from the third man and the fallen idol as to warrent a comment here. the film is very funny indeed, with a ten minute cottaging gag played out by noel coward and alec guiness (amoungst others) particularly of note for a film which appeared in 1959, when gay sex would still be illegal for 8 years. i think you can still catch it at the nft.
