In arguably his finest film performance, Trevor Howard (The Third Man, Brief Encounter) plays Harry Scobie, a sympathetic Catholic police officer in 1940s Sierra Leone who has more in common with the locals than he has with his fellow ex-pats. Trapped in a loveless marriage, he sends his wife back to England on holiday and then promptly falls in love with another woman (Maria Schel), leaving him prey to blackmailer Yusef (Gerard Oury).
A splendid supporting cast including Denholm Elliott, Michael Hordern and Peter Finch brings lusty voice to Graham Greene's characters, contributing to a richly atmospheric study of guilt, despair and torment. Director by George More O' Ferrall initially attracted controversy for diverting from Greene's concluding chapters, but this remains an audacious, stunningly realised work of no little intensity.
The heart of the matter was nominated for a clutch of British Academy Awards, including best film and best actor for Howard.
