The DVD arrived with the artwork entirely in Spanish apart from the words based on the hilarious novel by Graham Greene. It's not hilarious at all; just very funny in a subtle, gentle way. Fortunately the DVD itself has alternative languages so I shall watch it in English (I don't understand a word of Spanish).

Latest in my rereads of great Graham Greene novels, this was always one of my favourites as it's very very funny as well as touching. Some splendid lines in it. Aunt Augusta is pure Maggie Smith - I've never seen the film so I've just bought the DVD (and I love Alec McCowan who plays Henry Pulling in it). But 5 stars for the book; if you've not read it, and don't know about Greene, I heartily recommend it.
