Richard Lester
Cuba is a 1979 American adventure neo noir thriller film directed by Richard Lester and starring Sean Connery, portraying the build-up to the 1958 Cuban Revolution, filmed in Panavision. Neil Sinyard in his "The Films of Richard Lester" wrote that the film, "developed originally out of an idea of Lester's own, inspired by a conversation with a friend about great modern leaders. From there, Lester's thoughts began to formulate in complex ways around Castro and "Casablanca" (1942) and out of that audaciously bizarre combination comes "Cuba".
