Out-Dated, but still Interesting

Just saw Our Man In Havana on a VHS that I won on e-bay. I had seen this movie as a child, but had little memory of it. Seems that the Tailor of Panama with Pierce Bronson was a remake of this movie. Interesting, but clearly out-dated movie. Has an historical element as it was filmed in pre-Castro Cuba. Amazingly, the Cuban Revolution didn't occur during the filming of this show. I'm not Cuban, but it was still very interesting to see the streets of Havana.

Great performances by everyone involved, but Ernie Kovacks steals the spotlight as the evil Police commander. A few very funny scenes, one with a gay overtone, and the other regarding a "supposed" desire to have a threesome. I'd rate Our Man In Havana a 7.

score 7/10
