As a restless wife of a South African ambassador, the mother of a whining child and the mistress of an empty shell of a man, Liz is a woman who's unlucky in love
Graham Greene's explosive novel, which mixes adultery with political turmoil in the midst of Haitian corrupt dictatorship of "Papa Doc" Duvalier, could hardly been filmed on that Caribbean island
It tells the story of a small group people caught up in a reign of fear
The political intrigue in exotic settings has some interest and the atmosphere is astonishingly well caught
On his own, playing the cynical hotelier who unwillingly gets involved in revolutionary activity, Burton is sensible and his scenes with Alec Guinness as a cowardly soldier of fortune and with Paul Ford and Lillian Gish as two impossibly innocent American tourist, have a fine, sharp edge
