The Quiet American
A love triangle brews amidst a growing political tempest in this  "brilliantly intellectual" (Los Angeles Times) film in which nothing is   quite as it seems. Adapted from the acclaimed novel by Graham Greene,   Academy Award-winning writer-director Joseph L. Mankiewicz's screenplay   "delivers dialogue that not only sparkles but bites deep with the irony   of truth" (Citizen-News). In 1952, Saigon is caught between the corrupt   colonial powers and the Communist uprising. An idealistic young American   (Audie Murphy) champions a shadowy Third Force, but cynical British   journalist Thomas Fowler (Michael Redgrave) is concerned only with the   American's interest in his mistress. When jealousy forces Fowler to take   sides at last, the personal and political consequences are devastating.
