Title
Our Man in Havana (1958): Wormold Beats Segura At His Own Game
Location
Front:
Captain Segura (Ernie Kovacs, left), dressed in his uniform, is passed out drunk in his wicker chair. Jim Wormold (Alec Guinness, right), disheveled in a white button-up and clearly also inebriated, sits on the other side of the table in another wicker chair. Wormold moves a shooter of whisky, one of many acting as pieces on a checkerboard, to make his final (winning? losing?) move now that Segura is unconscious. At the bottom, a typewritten caption:
"A scene from Columbia's 'OUR MAN IN HAVANA', starring Alec Guinness, Noel Coward, Burl Ives, Maureen O'Hara, Ralph Richardson, Ernie Kovacs and Jo Morrow. Adapted for the screen by Graham Greene from his novel. Produced and directed by Carol Reed.
