...and this leads old Fyodor to Graham Greene...

Ah, yes, Citizen Greene...writer, editor, failed suicide (three times), convert to Catholicism, husband, father, screenwriter, admitted communist, admitted serial adulterer, purportedly one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century, and purportedly the greatest Catholic novelist ever.

Here's an interesting Greene site, much of it in his own words. Check out his comments on The Third Man.

I do not particularly enjoy reading Greene's work, and he does not seem particularly Catholic either. After I read it, I understood why the Vatican condemned The Power and the Glory. I got bored with Our Man in Havana and didn't finish it.

Then again, it's not like Catholics were the ones who glorified him as a "Catholic writer".

Anyway, The Third Man was a good movie. And so was This Gun For Hire...
