This is an exciting Graham Greene film about post second world war corruption in occupied Germany.

It's many years since I saw it and I remembered it as very good, but on second showing I rate it as perhaps the best film of all.

It can't be flawed. The acting is superb and the choice of actors so right. The locations - wonderful. The photography brilliant.

What a story, and presented with never a dull moment - only the last shot was slow and how right that was - I wanted it to go on forever!

Orsen Welles is great, but Joseph Cotten? - surely a perfect performance.
