Quick Summary

"The Human Factor" is a 1979 espionage film directed by Otto Preminger, based on the novel by Graham Greene. The film stars Derek Jacobi and Nicol Williamson.1

Otto Preminger was an Austrian-born American director known for his controversial films that challenged Hollywood's Production Code, such as The Moon Is Blue (1953), The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), and Anatomy of a Murder (1959). His films were often characterized by moral neutrality. Preminger's career spanned from the 1940s, with notable works including the film noir classic Laura (1944) and later films like Exodus (1960) and Advise & Consent (1962). Despite some later critical and commercial disappointments, Preminger's work consistently pushed boundaries in filmmaking.1
