The High Bright Sun

Dirk Bogarde’s the British intelligence man whose efforts to stem Eoka guerilla activity are compromised when he falls for American-Cypriot gal Strasberg, an archeology student lodging at a villa where the chief guerilla (Aslan) is in hiding. Sadly the script by Ian Stuart Black (from his own novel) doesn’t make it through the political minefield created by a very messy independence conflict. Chakiris lays it on as a fanatical student patriot. —Timeout.com
