I am pretty partial to Greaham Greene books and the quiet american is my favorite film adapton of his stuff (the 3rd man is also a nice orson wells performance)..

The theme of does the girl love him / you or is she just looking for security / money is very applicable.. A line near the end when he says something concerning her and having a woman who says she loves you etc.. Greenes stuff is usually pretty melancholy endings tho..

I dont know if it is shown as an extra on the DVD or if its the end credits but it lists headlines from papers during the time catelogueing the CIA and American influence in the country.. Pretty interesting..

Vietnam is a country I really want to see and learn more of..
