Our Man in Havana
“A murderously funny story, magnificently cast... marvelously made !”
ComedyThriller
Jim Wormold is an expatriate Englishman living in pre-revolutionary Havana with his teenage daughter Milly. He owns a vacuum cleaner shop but isn’t very successful so he accepts an offer from Hawthorne of the British Secret Service to recruit a network of agents in Cuba.
VIBE
A delightfully absurd and charmingly anxious romp through Cold War espionage. It feels like a wry wink from London, set against the vibrant, pre-revolutionary backdrop of Havana. Expect witty dialogue and a growing sense of delightful, low-stakes panic.
