Forgotten Greene novel a hit

By RONALD THOMSON

LONDON (REUTER) — A Graham Greene novel,
forgotten in Hollywood 41 years ago, has become a
publishing event of 1985.

Called The Tenth Man, the manuscript was
discovered in the archives of MGM studios. It is a tale of
cowardice and retribution with all the ingredients
familiar to readers of the popular and critically acclaimed
80-year-old British author.

Greene says he forgot all about the seript. Four
years after writing it, he subtracted seven numbers from
the title and wrote The Third Man in 1948.

His literary star rose to dizzy heights after The
Third Man became a hugely successful movie set in
postwar Vienna and starring Orson Welles. Its haunting

Greene says he wrote the book while employed

the work Greene did under that contract

Nearly 40 years later, in, 1983, London publisher
Anthony Blond was visiting California on business when
he heard that an unpublished script by Graham Greene
was gathering dust in the MGM vaults. f

Blond obtained a copy, read it and began succe’ essful
negotiations to buy the book and serial rights.

In a forthcoming book of his own, the publisher
describes how he failed at first to win Greene's blessing
for giving the public a chance to read The Tenth Man.

Blond says he travelled to the southern French

Greene's reputation as a writer of genius is not likely
to be damaged with the publication of his 1944 story. It
has “best seller” stamped all over it.

The Tenth Man is set in a French provincial town
occupied by the German army in the Second World War,
When the French Resistance kills two German soldiers,
the Nazis retaliate by ordering the execution of one local
hostage in every 10.

The hostages must decide among themselves who is
to die. A wealthy lawyer draws the short straw and in a
panic offers all his worldly goods to any other prisoner
who will take his place before the firing squad.

The offer is accepted by a young clerk, who insists on
a legal contract transferring the lawyer's country house
and bank balance to the clerk's impoverished mother and
