The Story …
In pre-revolutionary Cuba, James Wormold, a vacuum cleaner salesman, is recruited by Hawthorne of the British Secret Intelligence Service to be their Havana operative.
Instead of recruiting his own agents, Wormold invents agents from men he knows only by sight and sketches «plans» for a rocket-launching pad based on vacuum cleaner parts to increase his value to the service and to procure more money for himself and his expensive daughter Milly.
Because his importance grows, he is sent a secretary, Beatrice, and a radioman from London to be under his command. With their arrival, it becomes much harder for Wormold to maintain his facade.
However, all of his invented information begins to come true: his cables home are intercepted and believed to be true by enemy agents who then act against his «cell».
One of his «agents» is killed, and he is targeted for assassination. He admits what he has done to his secretary, and he is recalled to London.
Rather than telling the truth to the Prime Minister and other military intelligence services, Wormold’s commander agrees to fabricate a story claiming his imagined machines had been dismantled.
They bestow an OBE on Wormold and offer him a position teaching espionage classes in London.

Superb movie.
Great and effective cast.
I'm looking forward to more
Funnier and more ingenious than "The Third Man," though lacking the tragic scope of the latter movie. For some inexplicable reason, the shootout between Wormold and Carter is botched technically and the normally resourceful director Carol Reed just left it in the picture.
wonderful movie, with the old Havanna streets, joifull people and sounds as a background
i really enjoyed the book and movie but the basic premise of the plot is absurd:you don't have to be paranoid to imagine nuclear weapons in Çuba, in fact we came close to being vacuum-cleaned in the Cuban Missie Crisis! It just occurred to me that idea of the vacuum cleaner might be an allusion to the paranoid J.Edgar.
The lying came so naturally to Wormold. Such a vivid imagination with unmatched creativity. In addition to a secretary he should have a bodyguard. A less violent Oddjob would be perfect.
Maureen O'Hara was so good looking as a brunette. The red hair was always so … Red.
Should the not be a Masterpiece take off series based on the book and movie. Need a flagship series to replace Endeavor. How about some comedy this go round.
Excellent movie! I've heard the movie's title all my life but never before saw it. Glad I now have.
So lovely… convertible…
Radio….12 motor cycle…
Wow…I need to have a quiet
Day…..
If you can find a good copy, I suggest 'Let the People Sing' a 1942 British comedy film directed by John Baxter, and starring Alastair Sim, Fred Emney and Edward Rigby. This has a very similar atmospheere to the'Titfield Thunderbolt'
"Mr Roberts" a wonderful film . This is a great channel
What a superb film , no swearing and a great story executed by so many excellent thespians so much better than the Hollywood rubbish we get today.
Burl Ives! Always plays a BAD bad guy!
Great movie, thank you for the upload!
Se veia la prosperidad economica por todos lados antes de la revolucion.-
Awesome thank you Noel Coward is fantastic!
Maureen O’Hara lit up every production I’ve seen her in.
Thank you.
I am 82 – saw this originally
– one step away from a British Comedy
– how do you class it ?
What a great movie! So clever😂😂
Weapons of Mass Destruction Dwl.
I have search many movie apps – even hidden apps.
I have searched for almost 20 years -and – I cannot find LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY (1980 /RICKY SHRODER).
I am thinking there was a arrangement made that does not allow the movie other than a DVD purchase, to view the film.
Hmmm – what do you think about trying to find it and getting the permission to post?
My fingers are crossing.
Brilliant.
Sound only. Disappointed!
Great film, of course, and thank you for that. But the AI woman introducing it is bloody spooky. Can't you use a real person?
Brilliant, I've just read the book. Great film and NO adverts.
Kind Hearts and Coronets ????
Thanks for making this memorable, wonderfully mad but very human prequel to "Yes Minister" available
I’m 92 and saw that extraordinary film when I was young. You can imagine how glad I am when enjoying seeing it now. 53:37 But wherever did you find the person or machine who or that was clever enough to write perfectly ludicrous subtitles? She, he or it deserves exceptional congratulations.
Two great movies vy Carol Reed and Graham Greene: Third man with Orson Wels and Our man in Havana with Alec Guiness. Thank you PrimeSiteUK.
I would love to see the old Robert Mitchum movie "The Wrath of GOD" about an American fighter-cleric in Mexico. I enjoyed 'Our Man in Havana' very much. I first saw this movie with my Mom + GOD rest her soul + in 1959 when it premiered. Thanks much.
I've heard of this title for decades on end and finally got a chance to watch it. Loved it! Thanks for posting it here.
Definitely English comedy: subtle and dry. I had my share of laughs, and I needed it. Thanks. I think I'll watch it again to catch all those bits I missed the first time!
Comparing "Our Man" failing his first recruiting attempt at the country club to Smiley is quite amusing.
Those are still the latest model cars in Cuba. 😢
That writing on the toy featured at the end of this film ; Made in Japan . This was a running joke in the 50s and early sixties. The consensus was anything made in Japan ,was cheap and cheerful,rubbish ect. Now it’s the opposite.
12 tops you get a super duper air gun ! Never had that offered with cereals when I was a kid. But I liked my Robin Hood characters, that I got from Kellogg’s hidden among the corn flakes !
Just to edit this. One scene in he film had a picture of a box of cereals. Advertising a free air gun!
What a shame that Havana has decrepitated so much since this was filmed.
Before he was Obi-Wan! Great movie and Alec Guinness was great in this role. Thank you for posting this movie.
Alec Guiness is one of my favorite British actors. He is wonderful in "Lady killers" or "The man in the white suit" both are funny.
A wonderful British comedy, Greene is a gift to us humans in wit, intelligent and charm. Except for the bazaar casting of a way too old and mature woman to play the girl ( casting couch reward ?) the cast was perfect and gave a delightful performance of witty understatement. Very rye look at politics, police, people and spies.
Do you have " lady killers" with Alec ?
A wonderful film! Thanks for sharing it!
You might enjoy the John Le Carre 'remake' or perhaps 'reenvisioning' of this Graham Greene classic. It is called 'The Tailor of Panama' and it one of those favorite movies I turn people onto and they always thank me.
The 4-engine turboprop airliner that repatriated Wormold to London was a Britannia. Only a few score of them were built. I few one for a living for a couple of years. They were very noisy.
Maureen O'Hara right outta the box gorgeous.
