I mean no disrespect when I say that I imagine Graham Greene conceived of Loser Takes All (one of his self-described "entertainments") as a film before he decided to write it as a short novella. It's big and colorful and hangs on two cunning twists that neatly divide the piece into curtain act one and curtain act two. The story concerns the honeymoon of Mr. Bertram and his bethrothed Cary....

I wouldn't blame you if you were put off by the title of this post. After all, it's a pretty moot point which people will continue to argue over, disagree about and use as a subject for television documentaries probably for decades to come. And whenever these discussions kick off, Orson Welles' masterpiece Citizen Kane always gets mentioned, much to the annoyance of those people who don't rate it very...

The first book in the Patrick Hamilton’s Gorse trilogy, part of which sourced the excellent tv series The Charmer, was The West Pier . Graham Greene generously described it as ‘the best book written about Brighton’. It was published in 1951, and was followed by Mr Stimpson and Mr Gorse (1953) and Unknown Assailant (1955). The series was actually meant to be a quartet, but the fourth...

Last night, Jonathan Lethem took to the book-shaped podium at Powell's to read—in front of a not-quite-packed house—from his new novel Chronic City . The reading really impressed upon me how much most published authors could stand to learn from the average kindergarten teacher. Lethem is an excellent reader, and why? It's because he reads like he's talking to a room full of kids. He's...

The next of the classic films to be remade looks to be Carol Reed's The Third Man, an absolute classic adapted from the Graham Greene story and starring Orson Welles and Joseph Cotton. Well, if you believe the rumour that is. However it's not hard not to believe it, since the strangest of decisions are being made these days in Hollywood, and the rumour does have a strength to it considering there's...

Six decades after "The Third Man" premiered in London in September 1949, tourists from around the world pound the Austrian capital's pavements — and even head down into its sewers — to see where the much-acclaimed motion picture was set.

There are a few fiction writers who have the gift for giving global issues a human face; Graham Greene was one such author and John le Carre is another. Le Carre’s brilliant explorations of the Cold War through the eyes of George Smiley are peerless and I recently watched again the T.V. series based on Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy . Alec Guiness is masterful as Smiley and the cast are a roll...
