"Jim Wormold is an expatriate Englishman living in pre-revolutionary Havana with his teenage daughter Milly. He owns a vacuum cleaner shop but isn’t very successful so he accepts an offer from Hawthorne of the British Secret Service to recruit a network of agents in Cuba. This is a fairly typical British satire of the spy genre, with Alec Guinness playing his usual hapless character whose supposedly clever plans lead him into hot water.

"Complex espionage thriller with Alec Guinness as a vacuum cleaner salesman in Havana who is approached by British Intelligence to work for them. In order for him to be looked upon as important, he feeds them false information. Carol Reed's second film version of a Grahame Greene story has a strong cast including Burl Ives and Maureen O'Hara. A film you have to really concentrate on every inch of information being given otherwise confusion will set in."
