I had heard about this movie a long time ago and wanted to see it. But I haven't had the opportunity so far. In my chilldhood's Romania was considered
dangerous to be showed. So, I was expecting something more and better, specially from Carol Reed, the maker of "Oliver!" and "The Third Man", two very good films. The story disappointed me, nothing extraordinary. A banal story about a vacuum-cleaners salesman who starts to lie everybody... Childish!
Very good actors in the cast: Alec Guinness, Noël Coward, Ralph Richardson, Ernie Kovacs. The best are Ernie Kovacs and Noël Coward.
