A gem

McVouty

I'm surprised this picture hasn't been mentioned in any of the Alec Guinness obituaries.  It's one of his best, and it's a real kick.  What a cast! What a script!  Alec Guinness and Graham Greene (the writer, not the actor) -- what a pair!  I haven't been able to find it in the video stores, but it's certainly worth seeking out.
