IMDB link.

Great plot, a great example of how the hollywood plot formula can work. Evocative setting, good acting from all the leads, Michael Caine is doing very well for himself later in life. I was amused to just find out that there was one previous adaptation of the book, made in 1958 just after the book was published. The book itself was a best seller at the time and most critics claim Greene to be prophetic in his vision. From seeing the film I would have to agree. Will have to read the book too.
