The Quiet American is an anti-war novel by British author Graham Greene, first published in United Kingdom in 1955 and in the United States in 1956. It was adapted into films in 1958 and 2002. The book draws on Greene's experiences as a war correspondent for The Times and Le Figaro in French Indochina 1951–1954. He was apparently inspired to write The Quiet American in October 1951 while driving back to Saigon from Ben Tre province. He was accompanied by an American aid worker who lectured him about finding a “third force in Vietnam”. Greene spent three years writing the novel, which foreshadowed US involvement in Vietnam long before it became publicly known. The book was the initial reason for Graham Greene being under constant surveillance by US intelligence agencies from the 1950s until his death in 1991, according to documents obtained in 2002 by The Guardian under the US Freedom of Information Act.[1][2]

Bro, I think u should be able to get at one of the retail shops selling VCDs or DVDs.
It's not a hit movie, so u might be able to get it at their clearance sales. I have not asked yet, but u can try.

I watched the movie on channel 5 several years ago, in the early Sunday morning slot, around 2 to 3am.
The movie is considered so old and not that popular, hence it was probably put in that slot just to fill space.
If u willing to wait, they may show it again.
