Event box
The Public Library ABQ-Bernco and Friends of the Public Library present our annual book to film adaptation event, Books to the Big Screen!
In Saigon in 1952, an enigmatic young American economist , who is working for an international aid organization, gets caught between the Communists and the colonialists as he tries to win the "hearts and minds" of the Vietnamese people. By promising marriage, he steals away a young Vietnamese woman from an embittered and cynical English newspaperman who retaliates by spreading the word that the American is actually covertly selling arms to the anti-Communists.
