"The title of this thread is from one of my favorite Graham Greene books"
In addition to the movie, there is also an opera based on this book. I've never really enjoyed opera. I've gone because I thought that's what semi-cultured people did, and I THOUGHT I was enjoying opera as much as I could. But this show blew me away. I'd never been so moved by a performance.
(Interesting story about how I saw TOOTA opera: a beautiful young girl who I'd never met walked up to me in a Seattle coffeeshop and said "You wanna go to the opera, it starts in 10 minutes. I said, uh OK, and went there wearing jeans and sweatshirt. The tickets were front row center aisle -- $150 tickets -- and everyone but me was all dressed up. There's more to the story including the reason why I got the ticket but I've already gotten far enough off topic)
