    Very interesting. I am from New York but have been living in Saigon most of the last 30 years where I am now. I was in Saigon when the film was made and remember seeing Michael Caine in front of the city theater being one of the film's locations. Whenever seeing a woman sitting alone having a drink on the veranda of Continental Hotel I think of the film's character Miss Phuong!

    ❤ Michael Caine. Graham Greene's story, a subject worthy of study, especially today. Very good film. He presents his character so deftly, and yes, achieved making an otherwise despicable guy likable. Or at least, someone we could care about. A surprise for me to see B. Fraser cast in that role, he handled it well. I'm glad Michael has such a great body of work for us to enjoy for all time, he's a very special man with great heart. Thank you for sharing this interview.

    I greatly appreciated the book, and the first movie with Audie Murphy, filmed in Vietnam. A very thought-provoking story. I've studied the Vietnam war yet I didn't know the reasons Michael shares as to why the Vietnamese do not have animosity towards the US.

    They love the Americans here and hate the French. It's quite simple really. The US were not colonist's where as the French were. Go to the Island of Con Dao and see the remains of the French Prisons and then you will understand how they tortured these people.

    1958 film version was better, It fixes the book, which was just anti-American propaganda by the jealous British, this 2002 version would be approved of only by Muslim terrorists and those who side with them

    Rose was such a faux-profound interviewer. He really thought he was getting at something deep when usually what he was doing was stating the obvious. When not re-stating it.

    Rose asks fairly simple-minded and superficial questions. Often appears out of his depth. Fortunately, Caine is an entertaining and insightful interviewee.

    I served in Tay Ninh. I read the book. I had seen the Michael Redgrave and Audie Murphy movie as a boy. I wrote a film script in 1990 with Albert Finney and Jeff Daniels in my head. What I just saw in these clips is wrong, wrong, wrong. Caine is too authoritative, Fraser is not naive enough. Plunk. I have read most of Greene and gauged his development.

    After all is said and done , "We didn't bomb the cities to win the war (like we had done in WWII in Germany to win the war) and we weren't there to take over the country", that's why the Vietnamese didn't mind us being there.

    That's Michael Cains opinion. The fact is America bombed Hanoi the only time B-52s have been used to bomb a city...never forget that America dropped 480.000 tons of napalm and as much phosphorous bombs + agent orange on my country ! Millions innocents were killed. 100s of thousands of children were incinerated alive. Michael stick to making movies and leave the history alone. Further more the decision for Briton not to go to war in Indochina was a little bit more complex.

    I'm always saddened when I hear that someone that I consider to be a "thinker" becomes a Catholic, or coverts to any other spiritual belief that has Mythical stories at its foundation or relies on "Faith" (a word used to describe the unquestioning acceptance of myths).
