About this product

Product Information

Set in Saigon, Vietnam, in 1952 during the French Indochina war, THE QUIET AMERICAN is based on the mystery story by Graham Greene, and directed by Phillip Noyce. A middle-aged British reporter for the London Times, Thomas Fowler (Michael Caine), has been working in Vietnam, covering politics and enjoying the local culture. He lives with a beautiful young woman, Phuong (Do Thi Hai Yen), a taxi dancer who he rescued from that undesirable profession. He cannot marry her, because he is already married to a Catholic woman in London who does not believe in divorce. But he truly loves her. When a young American doctor, Alden Pyle (Brendan Fraser), falls in love with Phuong, threatening to take her from Fowler, everything changes. Not only is Fowler's romantic life put in danger, but he begins to uncover disturbing information about the U.S.'s involvement in the war.An intriguing and atmospheric love story as well as a riveting mystery, THE QUIET AMERICAN features top-notch performances from Caine and Fraser, who maintain an eager intensity throughout the film. Combining the mysterious beauty of Saigon with the strangeness of the war, the film is suspenseful and effective.

    Michael Caine is breathtaking in this entertaining and still relevant film

    The quiet American is Michael Cane's best work. Also the movie feels very relevant regarding foreign adventures he US has become entangled in, both in the past and today.

    This is the second time Graham Greene's book has been made into a movie. Can't go wrong with Michael Caine. Great movie!

    FANTASTIC movie. Can't go wrong. Great to see the countryside and Saigon again. OSS/CIA...some things never change.

    The dvd looked completely perfect in terms of condition, unfortunately, it was not. It played well until a little less than 1/2 the way through and then suddenly stopped and would not play anymore.I tried 3 times but it would not play past the point where it stopped. Not my dvd player because everything else plays perfectly.
