Cuba description One of Sean Connery's least-seen films, this Richard Lester vehicle manages to be both politically astute and darkly funny at the same time. Set in Cuba as the Castro revolution is coming to fruition, it stars Connery as an aging mercenary trying to decide which side it pays to be paid by. Even as the Batista government is being overthrown, he is putting the spark to an old relationship with a factory manager (Brooke Adams), while American businessmen (particularly a well-cast Jack Weston) scramble to get the most bang for their buck. Lester's style--playing dramatic scenes while subverting them with comic business in the background--is in top form here. But this film never found an audience; too bad. --Marshall Fine |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | The beginning of Destroyed Dreams |
| Sean Connery is one of our favorite stars, so we were surprised to find this movie about Cuba. The movie is set in Cuba, as the government of Fulgencio Batista is overthrown by the revolutionaries, led by Fidel Castro and the likes of Che Guevara.
Connery plays the part of a mercenary trying to profit from the situation. He becomes involved with an old flame, who is now a factory manager of a family business. Sean Connery and Brooke Adams do a great job at imparting the trauma people lived during the first years of the revolution, amidst the chaos, murder, and exhuberance of Cuba's revolution. While the movie depicts Batista's government as brutal, it fails to deliver the reality lived in those days. As Cuban-Americans, we obtained the movie to review with young adults to surface historical facts about Cuba. Sean Connery as 007 is a favorite of ours, so that kept their attention on events and we were able to discuss the reasons behind the revolution and why millions of Cubans today are exiled. A rare find. We highly recommend watching this film, as it shares the beginning of destroyed dreams for generations of Cubans who had no alternative but to abandon their families and possessions in search for political freedom. |
