The UK embassy then relieves Fortnum of his consulship and tell him he will be appointed an OBE in the next UK honours. He accepts the fact that he is not the father of the baby, and even suggests naming the child Eduardo, after Plarr. Rivas and Aquino take Plarr to a squalid hut in a shanty town while bargaining with the authorities. Visiting the town brothel with Saavedra, Plarr is attracted to a girl, Clara, but she is taken by another man.

The news articles, Tweets, and blog posts do not represent IMDb's opinions nor can we guarantee that the reporting therein is completely factual. Fortnum overhears Plarr telling Leon of his adultery with Clara and saying that he, not Fortnum, is the father of the child that Clara is expecting.

On this level the movie succeeds, but there are too many loose ends in the plot and some lackluster performances.

Starring: Michael Caine, Richard Gere, Bob Hoskins, Elpidia Carrillo, Joaquim de Almeida, A Martinez, Stephanie Cotsirilos, Domingo Ambriz, Geoffrey Palmer, Jorge Russek, Erika Carlsson, George Belanger. Despite Plarr warning the dissidents that Fortnum has no value to the authorities, the group proceed with their demand for the release of ten political prisoners. Now a practicing doctor in a small Argentinian city, Plarr is approached by an old friend who tells him he's working with the Paraguayan underground and a disgraced British counsel (Michael Caine) on a plan to kidnap an ambassador and hold him for ransom in exchange for the release of Parr's father and several other prisoners. They intend to ransom the ambassador for the release of political prisoners in Paraguay, including Plarr's father. Nonetheless, he finds himself obsessed by Clara and seduces her with a pair of highly decorative sunglasses.The story is set in the provincial city of Corrientes, part of the Argentine Littoral, on the shore of the Paraná River. Army paratroopers surround the hut while the failed priest, Rivas, conducts a makeshift mass inside with the rain coming down.

So many times his mother had used the word when he was a child; it was like the threat of an armed robber. Retitled from The Honorary Consul and sold in America with one of Paramount’s sleaziest ad campaigns, John MacKenzie and Christopher Hampton’s adaptation of a Graham Greene novel features a fine Michael Caine performance, but prefers to stress sex scenes between star Richard Gere and Elpidia Carrillo. In the final analysis, though it starts nobly, the movie does not accomplish what it set out to do: i.Another person the doctor meets is Clara (Elpidia Carrillo), whom he immediately falls in love with, but there is a problem: Clara is Charley's wife. The kidnappers' first attempt to intercept the cars fails when they get held up by a military convoy. His English father remained in Paraguay as a political rebel and, aside from a single hand-delivered letter, they never hear from him again. takes no responsibility for the content or accuracy of the above news articles, Tweets, or blog posts.
