CHARACTER ACTORS: Sir Noel Coward in Havana

[hebneh]

I agree that Havana still looks like this, only it's falling apart. There still are people hustling you in the street, AND there are still 1950s cars in abundance! Just as you see here.

Oi! This is rich. A young Sir Alec at the canteena in good company. Thanks

he did a very funny little role once as a prisoner with a devotion to the monarchy, cut out pictures from magazines etc.

[matt2house]

oh that was the italian job with michael caine, he was actually the prison warden that was highly devoted to the queen.

Sorry, you are wrong. Noel Coward played "Mr. Bridger" - the gang boss in prison - in the "Italian Job", who bank-rolled the heist.

[bbdupon]

That was "The Italian Job"--his last film.

A great film!

This is how Havana looked in 1959.

And today?

It still looks like this today...only no national lottery, no casinos, no Shanghai Theatre, no bar/brothels, no Havana Country Club and no American-style retail stores. The jinteneros (street hustlers) are still there in strength...as well as the street corner cops (in Old Habana). Most of the pre-revolution physical infrastructure is still there only aging and crumbling. A great city...especially if you appreciate 20th Century history.
