Summary

From PBS: British actor Derek Jacobi narrates this portrait of author Graham Greene, a British spy, doubting Catholic and manic-depressive who wrote critically acclaimed best-sellers, including The Quiet American, Brighton Rock, The End of the Affair and The Third Man. The documentary weaves Greene's novels and movies into the story of his life and reveals an extraordinary man who traveled the globe to escape the boredom of ordinary existence. Actor Bill Nighy provides Greene's voice. Other participants include novelists John Mortimer, John Le Carré and David Lodge, writer Paul Theroux, former CIA operative and author Frederick Hitz, and Greene's daughter Caroline Bourget.
