The story behind Graham Greene's story is interesting (the author entered a competition to see if he could win second prize parodying Graham Greene's style) but this adaptation, unfortunately, a "noone believes her" thriller about a young boy who investigates when his father fails to show up to a family reunion in Venice, is dull despite some interesting locations and the post-war kidnapping plot.
