Novelist Graham Greene began writing film criticism as a student and subsequently published hundreds of reviews. Since his first screenplay, The Green Cockatoo, some 30 films plus numerous TV works have been inspired by his writing - including Brighton Rock, The Third Man and Our Man in Havana. Brian Baxter traces the great writer's lifelong association with the screen, with Richard Attenborough, writer Guy Elmes, and critics Quentin Falk and David Parkinson, and the voice of Greene himself.
