The Good Shepherd Page #7

Synopsis: Laconic and self-contained, Edward Wilson heads CIA covert operations during the Bay of Pigs. The agency suspects that Castro was tipped, so Wilson looks for the leak. As he investigates, he recalls, in a series of flashbacks, his father's death, student days at Yale (poetry; Skull and Bones), recruitment into the fledgling OSS, truncated affairs, a shotgun marriage, cutting his teeth on spy craft in London, distance from his son, the emergence of the Cold War, and relationships with agency, British, and Soviet counterparts. We watch his idealism give way to something else: disclosing the nature of that something else is at the heart of the film's narration as he closes in on the leak.

For instance

you should he has developed a friendship with a certain neighbor of yours

Fidel Castro.

A young man. He has high hopes for him.

I understand you had a most

interesting fish swim your way.

Mr. Allen thought it may be

possible for me to speak with him.

With your chaperon of course.

The land is great and beautiful.

There are many wonderful places in it.

You owe me a day at the beach.
