A Saigon negli anni Cinquanta, un giovane americano, di idee progressiste, conosce un giornalista inglese e gli salva la vita. Il che non impedirà al britannico di farlo catturare e uccidere dai guerriglieri comunisti. Un film intelligente e ben condotto di Mankiewicz. Tratto da uno degli ultimi libri di Graham Greene, ispirato alle sue esperienze di agente dei servizi segreti britannici in Sierra Leone durante la Seconda guerra mondiale.
